Also recommended: Slater’s accounts of her work in psychology (Welcome to My Country) and her own successful treatment (Prozac Diary), and her (possibly fictional) memoir of growing up with epilepsy (Lying).

Odum Library is in the process of upgrading all computers in the GALILEO area, which will provide patrons with access to faster and more up-to-date machines to research, create, format, and print projects. In case you were wondering, this is your student technology fee in action. While we are upgrading, the GALILEO area will be temporarily closed to patrons, but full computing and printing access is still available in the computer labs located in the first floor internet cafe, second floor room 2633, and third floor room 3250. We appreciate your patience and believe that the new technology will be well worth the brief wait.
