NEW DATABASE: SCIENCEDIRECT SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES COLLECTION By Christy Donaldson, Media Librarian The Library now offers a Third Thursday Documentary Film Series that shows a different documentary film each month. These screenings will take place at noon in LI 213, and people are encouraged to bring lunch. The film line-up is as follows: March 26th - Beatrix Potter: Artist, Storyteller and Countrywoman (58min) “Based on the biography written by Judy Taylor, this documentary visits the countryside Beatrix Potter loved so much and shows many of the original exquisite water colors which illustrate her stories.” April 16th - The Poetry Lounge (42min) “This video features four live spoken word performances and subsequent interviews with the poets themselves. All the poems revolve around the twin themes of the diversity and interrelatedness of all human beings. ‘Four Little Girls’ by Thea Monyee speaks to young girls of all races, shapes and sizes who try to fit themselves to stereotyped media images of femininity. ‘Black and White’ by IN-Q and Omari Wise-O Hardwick is a collaborative effort about racism and the necessity to walk in the other man's shoes. ‘Unified Love’ by Brutha Gimel speaks of understanding yourself through the images others have of you. And finally, ‘You Move Me’ by Gina Loring shows how all the things that reach your heart define who you are and connect you to the rest of the world. “Shihan Van Clief, Los Angeles based co-founder of Da Poetry Lounge, discusses the origins of spoken word performance. Many of the artists who are interviewed in the film began their careers in hip-hop and rap. They speak eloquently of the healing power of this form of self-expression and offer encouragement to aspiring young poets.” *Educational Media Reviews Online- January 14, 2005* Let all of your students know and come join us yourselves! THIRD THURSDAY DOCUMENTARY SERIES 3 The Library Connection VIDEO TUTORIALS Do your students need some help using the Library? Check out our new video tutorials!

Tutorials last approximately four to six minutes. LIBRARY DATABASE USAGE IN 2008 By Annie Smith, Reference/Instruction Librarian During 2008, more than 1.2 million searches were performed on 89 of our databases. This is a significant increase over database usage in 2007 (approximately 50%), when 821,171 searches were performed. We predict that our database usage will only continue to grow in the future. Looking at the amount of use, we learned that peak usage occurs during the fall semester, in October and November. Curiously, while we see a similar increase in usage halfway through the spring semester, the volume does not approach the sheer number of searches performed during the fall. Our most popular database by far is Academic Search Premier, which we teach in most of our library instruction sessions and often recommend to students as a great place to start most research projects. Databases by the Numbers Total searches in 2008: 1,274,657 Most popular databases, by number of searches: 1. Academic Search Premier 2. JSTOR 3. Psychological & Behavioral Sciences Collection 4. PsycINFO 5. Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition The Library Connection 4 By J. O’Day, Circulation Supervisor The UVU Library is pleased to announce a new Faculty Delivery Service! Faculty members can request items from our collections using an online form, and we will hand deliver the items—including books, videos, and music CDs—to their offices. To check out the service , visit www.uvu.edu/ library/faculty/delivery.php. For more information please contact J. O’Day (x7168). FACULTY DELIVERY SERVICE DID YOU KNOW... …that you can check out most of our reference books for three days? Every reference book, except for a small selection of high use items indicated with orange labels over their call numbers, can now be checked out for three days at a time. 242348 86734 65764 64245 49204 1 2 3 4 5 The 5 Library Connection NEWS FROM THE GEORGE SUTHERLAND ARCHIVES By Catherine McIntyre, Archives Librarian I'd like to remind all faculty that the UVU Sutherland Archives is the central repository for all things campus-related and encourage you to consider donating your scholarly materials or student projects to the Archives for permanent preservation and access. The Archives collects materials dealing with the history of UVU, current departmental and student publications such as Crescat Scientia and Touchstones, as well as individual faculty publications. We have a growing collection of oral histories from student and faculty projects and welcome much more. We have several donations of materials from retired faculty as well and hope you'll remember us when that time comes! If you, your department, or someone you know has materials that could be donated to the UVU Archives, please contact Catherine McIntyre at x8821 or mcintyca@uvu.edu for more information. We are working on digitizing much of our collection, such as historic photos of the school, departmental publications, student theses, and other materials. See our redesigned digital collections page at www.uvu.edu/library/ digitalcollection.html. We have hosted several interesting exhibits in our Archives reception room, with more planned. During February we hosted an exhibit on miniature books, curated by Irene Adams of BYU's Special Collections. Irene is also a history student at UVU. This month, we have an exhibit of materials from our own collection that trace the long history of UVU, from 1941 as the Central Utah Vocational School on up through six name changes to the current Utah Valley University. There are newspaper clippings, old school yearbooks, class schedules, campus newspapers, and campus organization scrapbooks. It's a walk down memory lane. In April, we will be hosting a student sculpture show. Miniature dictionaries and novels, from the miniature books exhibit. DID YOU KNOW... …that the Library’s hours have changed? Last fall, we asked for student input and based on the response, our new hours are: Monday—Friday 7 AM to 12 AM Saturday 8 AM to 7 PM SUBJECT LIBRARIANS Have you ever wondered how libraries get their books? Subject librarians scour reviews and bookseller sites to find the right materials for the library, but the best ideas come from you.
