The crocuses are sporting their new spring outfits and our world is getting ready
to burst into full bloom. Educational Resources is blooming with new materials.
New DVDs and youth books are arriving daily. New reference materials, curriculum guides and realia are refreshing the shelves. Students are busy using circulating digital equipment to complete yearend projects. In addition, there is a new
service for requesting holds. If you have questions or specific needs, let us hear
from you. I can be reached at 5-5333 or dhill@bsu.edu.
New Service for Requesting Holds
University Libraries now offers on-shelf holds as a recently initiated
new service. A hold request can be submitted to the library for an
item that is on the shelf and available for use. Library personnel will retrieve the
item listed on the hold request and have it available for pick up at the library
within 36 hours.
The magic of Disney
Walt Disney made a tremendous literary and creative impact
on the world through books, animation, and
movies. Who doesn’t know Mickey Mouse?
With the addition of theme parks, a cruise line,
clothing, jewelry, toys, games, and so much
more, Disney touches the lives of millions
every day. Educational Resources Collections
is loaded with Disney DVDs, books, and
3-D materials. Some of the movies are
based on true stories and all contain life
lessons. Technology, history,
nature, psychology, etc., there is much
to be learned through Disney.
Youth Book Collection
The University Libraries’ collections
include the Youth Book collection
which numbers approximately 35,600
titles. The collection presents a historical perspective with titles dating in the
1800s as well as the latest perspective
on new books with titles dated 2011
now being added to the collection. The
collection is heavily used by Ball State
students who are teaching in the local
school systems with topics ranging
from biology to biography and all man-
ner of fiction. The collection is also
used by students taking courses in children’s literature as well as art students
studying book illustrations. Explore the
collection and discover how it can
enhance your instruction and student
assignments.
