It’s Week Eight. Eight!
Last week —
- The OSU Sustainability Office awarded the Valley Library it’s gold-level Green Office certification!
- Librarians around the world are joining the Wikimedia foundation for #1Lib1Ref, a global campaign to add new, diverse sources to Wikipedia. Interested in Wikipedia more generally? Talk to OSU librarians Diana Park and Laurie Bridges.
- OSU archivists Larry Landis and Anna Dvorak wrapped up their five-part series on the 1918 flu pandemic with a broader look at Early Disease Epidemics in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
- Have a paper to write, a presentation to put together? Maybe you’re starting a new research project? Schedule a 1:1 consultation with a research librarian. Find the librarian for your college here, or Ask a Librarian for advice on who to contact.
- Having trouble reading during these complicated times? You’re not alone. We’ve been experiencing this too. Vox’s book critic asked a neuroscientist to suggest some reasons why. Reading more? Reading differently? Reading as a refuge? That’s all normal too. If you’re looking for something to try – hit up the Beavers Read project for personalized recommendations.
