Holiday hours

Happy holidays to everyone!

and the winner is....

The Maintenance birdhouse is the winner of the Elberton Campus competition. Congratulations and thanks to all who participated and voted. Our campus bird population will have some snappy new places to build their nests in the Spring!

Elberton Campus library news

Enjoy a slideshow of ATSAC-sponsored birdhouses. Each one was painted by a different department on campus. When you visit in the spring, take a walk around the lake and you will see them.

Now that you've seen them, vote for your favorite!

And finally, don't forget to join us for a study break in the Library. December 9th between 9am and 3pm.

Human development projects

Check out Mr. Stennett's student projects for Human development. Interesting stuff! In the Athens campus library, you can see the posters that accompany the slides.

A name we should know

Because it's Open Access Week.
Because we all care about and use information.
Because we all deserve access to information.

Aaron Swartz.

Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) was a prodigy and a wizard. He helped bring information to people via the Internet, and later fought to keep that information free and open.

The award-winning 2014 documentary about Swartz: The Internet's Own Boy, is available for free (he was an information activist, after all) from the Internet Archive.

I know I will be watching it.

Open Access Week

Open Access Week is a global event that promotes Open Access as a new norm in scholarship and research.

Open Access Week 2014 is October 20-26.  

Stay tuned to learn more throughout the week.

ATC Author Reception

Our very own David List has published his book A Sawmill's Hope. Come check it out at the library!

The reviews are coming in on Amazon, and they are all very positive:
 "A Sawmill's Hope is a great read."
"This work was well written and a good introduction into the world of Silexare."
"... David List has done a great job creating a world in his mind and bringing it to life for others, I can't wait for a follow up book!"

The library held a reception for David on September 25th.

Check out the photos from Make a Mascot in the library!

Welcome to Fall Semester!

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”  Dr. Seuss
