Route 66 in Arizona: Don’t Forget Winona! An Upcoming Exhibit (posted June 30, 2009)
In September 2009 a new exhibit will debut in Special Collections and Archives as well as through the Colorado Plateau Digital Archives. Route 66 in Arizona: Don’t Forget Winona! is being developed this summer through the help of the P.T. Reilly Intern. The exhibit opening is scheduled to coincide with a number of events going on in Flagstaff, including the 2009 Route 66 Festival and the 2009 Will Rogers Awards and Conference. In order to develop the exhibit, Cline Library received an Arizona Humanities Council Grant in addition to a number of gifts from very generous donors. Many thanks for their support of this project!
It's Music to My Ears: Online Music Resources (posted June 30, 2009)
“Summertime and the living is easy”-- these mood-invoking Gershwin lyrics made famous by Billie Holiday remind us of the power of music. The elemental connection of music can be found online through two library-supported databases providing high quality audio streams:
- For the serious music lover Naxos Music Library provides high level performances and sound from a wide range of standard and specialist repertoires with comprehensive liner notes, composer and artist biographies, and other essential information.
- The Database of Recorded American Music (DRAM) is a collection of 1,200 CDs (7,500 compositions) by American composers and artists. Genres range from folk to opera, Native American to jazz, 19th century classical to early rock, and many more.
With powerful search and browse features, both databases make it easy to discover recordings not available from other online sources.
Resources for Education Research (posted June 30, 2009)
Education researchers may be interested in these online resources:
- Arizona Department of Education - Find listings for hot education topics, teacher certification, standards and assessment, and more.
- Ebrary - Search a large collection of e-books, dictionaries, and encyclopedias and save references and annotations to a personal “bookshelf."
- ERIC - Find education-related literature in journals and documents such as conference proceedings, reports, and books, etc.
- PsycINFO - Access scholarly literature in psychology and educational psychology from 45+ countries in 30+ languages.
Get More Out of the Library Catalog (posted June 30, 2009)
In addition to books, the library’s Web catalog can be used to find all kinds of “treasures” in the form of e-books, streaming videos and sound recordings, research databases, and more. For many needs, the basic catalog search on the Find Books page is a good place to start. If you need materials in specific formats, you can take advantage of additional search options and limiters on the Advanced Catalog Search page.
For example, the library provides access to tens of thousands of e-books that are instantly available to NAU users. On the advanced search page, enter your keyword(s) (e.g., national parks), select “E-Books” from the Material Type dropdown menu, and click Go! Want to sample the works of a favorite performer from online collections with thousands of streamed recordings? Type in the name as a keyword search (e.g., Charlie Parker), and select “Streaming Audio Files” as a Material Type (don’t forget you can also perform the same search for CD recordings by selecting “Audio CDs and Other Sound Formats”).
Other ways to limit searches include publication year (or a range of years), and language. Film and music fans may also want to check out the Find Movies & Music page with advanced media-oriented material type limiters, search tips for finding media in the catalog, and tools for generating lists of films and music by genre.
