Stop by in front of Burritt Library on September 9 from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm for free Farmer’s Cow ice cream (while supplies last). It’s delicious! For more information about Farmer’s Cow go to: http://www.thefarmerscow.com/icecream/ The library website is being renovated too! A preview of the new site is available at http://library.ccsu.edu/newsite. Your comments and feedback are most welcome! The library would like to offer its profuse thanks to Nancy Florio and Wit Meesangnil for their help in designing the new site. The current site will be replaced on Friday, August 20th. Now is the time to schedule library orientations for your students! Our schedule fills up pretty quickly during the fall semester, and a library session gives your students the opportunity to enhance their research and study skills. To request a class please fill out the instruction request form on our website. For more information, please contact Reference Librarians Nick Tomaiuolo or Susan Slaga. The demolition crew is preparing to take the steps off the south side of the balcony! For the next two days (7/13 & 7/14) the front Handicapped Entrance to the library will be closed while they complete the demolition. The other handicapped entrance will be open from the north side of the building and the parking lot. An Exhibit of photographic nature art by Connecticut native George Ostertag will be featured at the Elihu Burritt library at Central Connecticut State University during the month of June 2010. The framed photographic art will include images of wildlife, waterfalls, wildflowers, and scenic views of well-known areas and national landmarks in various parts of the country.
George has put together an extensive photo stock celebrating the American West and, more recently, many Eastern states. Wherever boot and backpack would take him, he took camera and tripod. Diverse landscapes opened up unlimited photo opportunities with humbling deserts, rich forests, rocky coasts, waterfalls, and high mountains. A geologist by training and naturalist by heart, he finds beauty in all habitats. His photography has been displayed at numerous galleries and has appeared in many publications. His images have graced calendars, greeting cards, and postcards, many of which will be on display during this exhibit. We are pleased to announce the addition of the 2010 Oxford Journals Archive. The Archive includes over 150 titles, with the oldest material dating back to the middle of the 19th century. Journals included cover subjects as diverse as biology, medicine, and physics, through to law, economics, and theology. A complete list of titles is available at the following URL: http://www.oxfordjournals.org/access_purchase/complete_archive_2010.html The new and improved search interface for Lexis-Nexis Academic features Easy Search and Power Search in addition to five other specialized search functions. To test the new interface out go to: http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/lnacademic/. Trial Access to the AAS Historical Periodicals Collections is available until June 30th. Series 1 covers the period 1693-1820, and Series 2 covers 1821-1837. The AAS Historical Periodicals Collection presents over 1,500 titles. The collection represents over two centuries of print culture, ranging from early works imported by the colonists to later titles published on American soil on the eve of the Revolution and during the early republic. These periodical collections are the first two in a series of five created from periodical holdings belonging to one of the premier repositories in the United States, the American Antiquarian Society. The CONSULS System is currently down. The problem may be related to network issues at the CSU System Office. The CONSULS catalog, digital course reserves and off-campus database access are currently unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to have a resolution soon. |

The photographer has had the unique opportunity to capture many spectacular scenes while researching material for more than 23 hiking, outdoor recreation, travel guides, and photography books (for which he is the sole photographer and the co-author with his wife Rhonda Ostertag). Some of their books, including many second edition copies, will also be on exhibit.
