We’ve Made Big Changes to the Library’s Printing and Copying Services (posted October 20, 2009)

Printing and copying services In a continuing effort to provide environmentally green, efficient copy services to NAU, we have implemented a cutting edge, paperless copier solution. The eCopy station is a free system that allows users to scan documents directly to a USB device or their email. Driven by an easy to use touch-screen interface, it supports all standard document sizes, and outputs files of any size in a crisp, high quality PDF file format.

Plus, no more loading of copy, NAU ID cards or dealing with print release keys for NAU users-- our new library-wide printing solution creates print jobs that can be accessed from any of four release stations. Just select a black and white or color printer, walk to a release station, enter your NAU ID and password, and either print or delete your print job. Jobs aren't charged until you decide to print, and are billed directly to your NAU account -- payable via LOUIE or the bursar.

New Resource: Westlaw’s Campus Research Academic (posted October 20, 2009)

Cline Library is excited to introduce NAU faculty and students to Westlaw’s Campus Research Academic (aka Campus Research), a superior, cross disciplinary research service powered by Westlaw and designed specifically for the research and curriculum support of faculty and college students. Offering full-text information on a wide range of academic disciplines, Campus Research includes information that can't easily be found on the Internet or any other readily available source. This new resource replaces Lexis-Nexis Academic. Library staff were impressed with the Campus Research search interface as it is easy to use and allows for intelligent, flexible searching.

Questions of law arise frequently in nearly every academic discipline. In the Law section of Campus Research, researchers can read full-text legislation, regulations and court decisions -- or they can obtain experts’ analyses from over 800 law reviews and journals, encyclopedias and treatises as well as Annotated State Statues, Federal and state case law, U.S. Supreme Court Cases, and the full text of the United States Code Annotated (USCA) and Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

Getting Started with Westlaw Campus Research:

Please contact your Academic Programs and Course Support librarian for training options and support such as webinars, or individual assistance with the resource.

Route 66 in Arizona: Don’t Forget Winona! A New Exhibit in Special Collections and Archives (posted October 20, 2009)

Travel old Route 66 and explore some of the diverse Arizona cities and history by visiting Special Collections and Archives on the 2nd Floor of the Cline Library or via a virtual exhibit. Within the virtual and physical exhibits, you can experience the impact Route 66 had on the lives of people, towns, and cities along its path through images and stories. The iconic places along the road reflect the look and feel of Route 66 over time. Sean Evans, the archivist on the exhibit, is a Route 66 historian as well. He had wonderful help in developing the exhibit from the 2009 Elizabeth and P.T. Reilly Intern, Ingrid Bohnenkamp.

InsideNAU TV did a wonderful piece on the exhibit and history of Route 66 which is available on YouTube. We hope you get a chance to stop by and experience a little bit of the “Mother Road” yourself.

Native American Film Series (updated October 29, 2009)

Cline Library and the NAU Institute for Native Americans are pleased to present the Native American Film Series for 2009/2010. All films start at 7 p.m. in the NAU Cline Library Assembly Hall, and are free to the public. Next film in the series:

Monday, November 23: Mohawk Girls (2005), Director Tracey Deer (Mohawk).
Meet three young Mohawk women at the threshold of adulthood on the Kahnawake Reserve, just across the St. Lawrence River from Montreal, Canada. Discover some of their hopes, heartaches, and challenges of growing up Kanienkeha.

Also in the series:

February 22, 2010: The Last Trek (2006), Director Ramona Emerson (Navajo)
Twice a year a few Navajo people still make an arduous journey to take their sheep to distant grazing lands. The filmmaker accompanies Elder Helen Bitsilly on what she has said will be her last trek.
March 22, 2010: Our Spirits Don’t Speak English: Indian Boarding School (2008), Directors Steven R. Heape & Chip Richie (Cherokee)
The film examines a boarding school system designed to destroy Indian culture and tribal unity for more than 100 years. Many students were uprooted from their homes; some perished while others survived to help change the system. Students share stories of their personal experiences.
Lady Warriors (2001), Producer John C. P. Goheen
The filmmaker tells the story of seven Native American teenage girls who are Arizona state cross-country running champions, training for another championship competition. The film takes us behind the scenes—on the Navajo and Hopi reservations, in and around Tuba City, Arizona and on the road—as the Lady Warriors prepare for their fourth state championship competition.
