Celebrate national Poem In Your Pocket Day on Thursday, April 29, 2010!
The idea is simple: select a poem you love during National Poetry Month then carry it with you to share with co-workers, family, and friends…
And if you need to find a poem, check in the Mudd. Let us know about your favorite poem, too.
From the Campus Overload blog in early April, but still a good idea.
We’ve got fun going on all week long! Come join us every day for FREE coffee. Bring your mug and fill up at the circulation desk. There will also be several scavenger hunts, a caption the photo contest and more! For a full line-up and daily updates, please visit the Seeley G. Mudd page on Facebook.
The New York Times takes a look at that age-old question: which is more environmentally friendly: an e-reader or an old-fashioned book?

You’ll be pleased (but not surprised, I’m sure) to hear their conclusion: “All in all, the most ecologically virtuous way to read a book starts by walking to your local library.”
C’mon over to the Mudd. It’s the right thing to do.
As part of the Mudd Library’s never-ending quest to provide better service, we are pleased to announce the successful cloning of Music Librarian, Antoinette Powell.
Antoinette 1
Antoinette 2
When asked about this development, Pete Gilbert, University Librarian, noted, “We regularly get requests to have Antoinette attend this meeting or do that class or process this huge stack of electronic reserves — all at the same time. Now we’ll be able to meet those requests. We’re also looking forward to improved communication within the Music Library department.”
Noted horn player Keith Powell was unavailable for comment.
It’s Spring Term at Lawrence and the Mudd is open for business.
A couple of (newish) databases for you to try:
Audio Drama: The L.A. Theatre Works Collection offers more than 300 important dramatic works in streaming audio from the curated archive of the nation’s premiere radio theatre company.
Oxford Art Online is “the most extensive and easily searchable online art resource available,” including titles such as Grove Art Online, The Oxford Companion to Western Art, Encyclopedia of Aesthetics, and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art Terms.
And, as always, if you need help, ask a reference librarian!
