A Bit of Poetry
November 20, 2009
Did you know ScholarsArchive has poetry among its collections? Richard Hacken, European Studies & Linguistics Librarian, shares his humorous take on life in the Harold B. Lee Library through poetry. Though he has written poems for numerous occasions, this time of year you might especially enjoy Twas the Committee Before Christmas or A Christmas Visit From Russian Santa Nyikolaus.
Herbarium Images Added
November 4, 2009
The S. L. Welsh Herbarium collection of ScholarsArchive is an accumulation of plant specimen images. The plant specimens have been gathered from around the world, particularly from Utah and the Western United States. Each specimen image is accompanied by the name of the species, the date of the collection, and the species’ location.
Nearly six hundred new images have just been added to the Herbarium collection. Take a look!
Addition to Mormon Media Studies
October 28, 2009
Dr. Sherry Baker, Department of Communications, oversees the Mormon Media Studies collection. She has recently added a bibliography to the collection titled, “Mormons and the Media 1898-2003: A Selected, Annotated, and Indexed Bibliography (with Suggestions for Future Research).”
The purpose of the bibliography is to provide readers with a compilation of, “academic scholarship completed to date about issues relating to Mormons and the media.” Dr. Baker and her co-author hope, “the bibliography will increase awareness of and encourage the production of relevant research and perhaps, in time, contribute to a more substantive discourse on the role of media in a number of Latter-day Saint forums from classroom to family.”

Bibliography of Books…
August 11, 2009
The L. Tom Perry Special Collections in the Lee Library houses many gems. One of our emeritus librarians, Gary Gillum, has taken a keen interest in one type of gem; books printed in England before 1700.
After many years of compilation, Gary Gillum has created an annotated bibliography of the books housed in Special Collections which were printed in England before 1700. We’re pleased that his bibliography, A Pilgrimage Through English History and Culture, is now available in ScholarsArchive. Search for the keyword Gillum or pilgrimage and start discovering some of the gems in Special Collections!
