Darwin's rEvolution Exhibit in Burling

Few works have been as influential or controversial as Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection. To commemorate the 150th anniversary of its publication, and the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth, this exhibition of materials from the Libraries’ Department of Special Collections showcases our first edition of The Origin of the Species, and works which influenced or were influenced by Darwin’s theory of evolution. The exhibition will be on display through August on Burling Library first floor and Burling Gallery (basement).

Web Delivery of Interlibrary Services Journal Articles

The Grinnell College Libraries are now providing Interlibrary Services journal articles by Web delivery rather than by paper. In other words, instead of printing out a copy of an article that we receive electronically from another library and then sending that print-out through campus mail, our software will automatically send you an email with information that allows you to retrieve the article through your Web browser. The articles will be in PDF format and you may then save it to your computer or storage account, or print it. This service will allow us to speed delivery of articles to our patrons and reduce paper waste. Questions about this service should be directed to Gail Bonath (bonath@grinnell.edu) or Leslie Gardner (gardnerl@grinnell.edu). Or see our FAQ at http://www.lib.grinnell.edu/general/Departments/edd.html.
