Peer Review without the Pain!
If your professors are constantly demanding that you supply “peer reviewed” (or “refereed”) articles, then look no further.
We just got the Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory database, so now you can check if that perfect article is peer reviewed or not!
If you need help figuring out if article is peer reviewed, you can follow our guide, or just get some help from a librarian!
Robert Frank’s The Americans
The National Gallery of Art is honoring photographer Robert Frank’s work on the 50th anniversary of his pioneering 1959 book The Americans.
NPR offers an 8-minute program on Frank, The Americans and the NGA exhibition.
Odum Library has a 1978 edition of The Americans (E169.02 .F713 1978) and an overview of Frank’s work (TR654 .F724 1976).

Jazz Performances on DVD
We’re adding more jazz DVDs, like Keith Jarrett Trio Concert, Chick Corea Akoustic Band, and Ella Fitzgerald Live at Montreux.
Most music-themed DVDs are shelved in the Fine Arts Materials Collection (FAMC). That’s at the 2nd-floor Circulation desk. If FAMC is part of the call number, ask for it at Circulation to check out the item.
If you do an Advanced Search for “jazz” AND “dvd” in the online catalog, you’ll find more than 80 DVDs– jazz performances, a few instructional DVDs and the usual OPAC anomalies (like that interview with Amiri Baraka).
Film Academy Teacher’s Guides
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (the people who bring you the Oscars) offers free Teacher’s Guides for helping secondary students in English, language arts, visual arts, or communications explore the art and science of film.
Guides focus on animation, art direction, costumes and makeup, documentaries, film editing, visual effects, screenwriting, sound and music, or cinematography.
