Congratulations to winners of the 2016 Library Research Awards!
Senior Heather Amberleigh MacIntyre, wrote a paper titled: We All Need Somebody to Lean On: Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man as a Continuation of the Discussion Presented in Charles Chestnutt’s “The Wife of His Youth”
Heather emphasized her search within JStor, EBSCOHost and the MLA databases, she also said “… more I searched, the more I discovered, and the deeper I was able to develop my thesis…the ability to access information within CCSU is indispensable and extremely valuable to any research paper or analysis.”
Junior Rebecca R. Allinson wrote a paper, How Farmington, Connecticut Escaped the Servant Problem: Irish Domestic Service in a Small Town.
Rebecca emphasized the use of databases, especially Ancestry and Hartford Courant Historical, and the library catalog. Because of her topic and scarcity of materials available she relied on help of the Reference librarians and the Inter Library Loan.
Again heartfelt congratulations to both Heather and Rebecca!

How the Library Survived Disaster
Curious about the Valentine’s Day pipe-burst disaster that closed Elihu Burritt Library, and what we did during repairs? Want to know who draws those awesome whiteboard pictures in front of the Library entrance? Your professors keep telling you to use databases for your assignments – have you seen signs for the Library’s new Spotlight on E-Resources program?
All of this and more is covered in the Library’s latest newsletter! Check it out here: http://library.ccsu.edu/newsletter/spr16_newsletter.pdf
