A new traveling art exhibit is on display in the Fletcher L. Byrom Earth and Mineral Sciences Library in 105 Deike Building on the University Park campus. The exhibit, “Inuit Visions of the Arctic,” is presented by the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (EMS) Museum & Art Gallery. The exhibit was created by the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative in Cape Dorset, a small island village located within the Nunavut territory, originally part of the Northwest Territories in Canada but loaned to EMS by Judith Varney Burch of Charlottesville, Virginia.  The exhibit will be on display through December 2016.  For more information, see the news item at http://news.psu.edu/story/405906/2016/04/21/arts-and-entertainment/traveling-art-exhibit-explores-inuit-culture-through

Next week is National Library Week (April 10th-16th), where we look at how we are helping our patrons discover, learn, and use the resources around them, and we are looking for your thoughts too! We are hosting a contest for those who participate next week, from April 11th to the 14th.

We would like you to post a short 5-15 second video response on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram to the question, “How has Penn State Libraries transformed your student experience?”. Make sure to use the hashtags #librariestransform and #psulibs in your post to enter.

The winning video will receive a $100 Penn State Bookstore gift card!
