Library Home Page Changes

We’ve made a few small tweaks to the library home page. Subject Guides can now be found on their own tab in the tabbed search box. The Databases A-Z list has moved to the Quick Links bar, and Connect from Off-Campus has moved to the Get Help Fast section at the bottom of the page. Research Pro can no longer be accessed directly from the home page, but you can still find it in the “More Resources” menu. We think that these changes will provide faster access, with fewer clicks, to the most frequently-used resources. Please let us know what you think!

2010 Favorite Films Festival Survey

Members of the college community are invited to vote for the films between Sunday, November 1 through Sunday, November 15 to be shown at the fourth annual Grinnell College Favorite Films Festival.

The three categories this year are:

Fantasy
Horror

The only limit is that the films selected must be part of the Grinnell College Libraries' collections. You can search the library catalog by clicking http://cat.lib.grinnell.edu/search~S0/X?SEARCH=&SORT=D&m=g

The survey will be open for voting on PioneerWeb from Sunday, November 1st through Sunday, November 15th. The winning films will be announced shortly afterwards and will be shown on campus Friday, January 29, through Sunday, January 31, 2010.

BTW, the films shown at last year’s festival were:

The Favorite Films Festival is co-sponsored by the Grinnell College Libraries and the Student Government Association Films Committee. For more information, contact Randye Jones at jonesran@grinnell.edu or the Films Committee at films@grinnell.edu.

A College. A Town. A Journey.

150 years ago, the college moved from Davenport to the recently established town of Grinnell. What has this move meant for the college and for the town? Using resources from the Department of Special Collections, and curated by Rachel Glass, ’09, this exhibition invites you to reflect on our history together, and on your own relationship with this place. Burling Library, first floor and lower level. The exhibition runs through December.
