This Thursday, Nov. 10, at 5:30 p.m., the series continues with a poetry reading by <a href="https://jonathanfink.com/">Jonathan Fink</a>.<br />

</tbody></table>
Jason Ockert, Coastal's ten-year fiction faculty member, is eager for the reading. "Jon's poems are both accessible and intellectually engaging," he claims. For further proof, he pointed to Fink's numerous scholarships, fellowships, awards, and publications as well as praise from renowned writers like Thomas Lux, Mary Karr, and Brooks Haxton. Even Natasha Trethewey is a fan, calling Fink's work "an exploration of our common humanity."<br />
<br />
There's more to a reading than prestigious poetry, though. "The spoken word matters," explains Ockert. "People may be surprised how moving a public reading can be. When an author reads his or her work, it often comes alive in unique and meaningful ways."<br />
<br />
As always, the reading includes a reception afterward, giving attendees a chance to enjoy delicious cheeses, chat with others from the community, and <a href="https://jonathanfink.com/books/">purchase some of the author's work</a>. You'll also have a chance to congratulate Fink on the coming release of his second poetry collection, <i>Barbarossa: The German Invasion of the Soviet Union and the Siege of Leningrad</i>.<br />
<br />
If you're still undecided, feel free to read <a href="https://jonathanfink.com/writing/">some samples</a>, browse the library's database <a href="http://login.library.coastal.edu:2048/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=lkh">Literary Reference Center Plus</a> for similar poetry from Lux, Karr, Haxton, or Trethewey or borrow a collection from <a href="http://encore.coastal.edu/iii/encore/?lang=eng">our catalog</a>.<br />
<br />
The Words to Say It series brings several critically acclaimed authors to campus each year. These authors are selected both for their literary skill and their commitment to the socially transformative imagination. This event is held in the Johnson Auditorium in the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration. The Wall College is located at 119 Chanticleer Drive E. on the Conway campus. For more information, contact Jason Ockert, coordinator of creative writing, at 843-349-2531, or email jockert@coastal.edu.<br />

Enter Kimbel Library, savior of Saturdays and cultivator of resources to make your online assignments easier.<br />
<br />
<u><strike>Classroom Discussions</strike> Online Discussion</u><br />
Most classes necessitate student discussions that, even on the best of days, can be difficult to kindle. Can you imagine how damp such discussions would be on a Saturday? Follow <a href="http://libguides.coastal.edu/c.php?g=75090&p=485256">CeTEAL's advice</a> and <a href="https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Forum_activity">create an online discussion in Moodle</a> instead.<br />
<br />
Kimbel Library provides access to electronic resources that can enrich your online discussions. While a <a href="http://lgdata.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/docs/496/882381/How_to_Link_to_an_Electronic_Book_or_Chapter_in_Moodle.pdf">section of textbook</a> might suffice, an online article may encourage more participation. To find one, you can <a href="http://www.coastal.edu/intranet/library/databases/index.html">browse databases by subject or by title</a>, or <a href="http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?profile=pfi&authtype=ip,guest&custid=s8462687&groupid=main">head straight to a journal</a>. Once you have something riveting, include the permalink for the article in the introduction area, say a bit about the piece to get students started, and watch the posts proliferate.<br />
<br />
<u><strike>Classroom Discussions</strike> Research Assignment</u><br />
If you're hesitant about online discussions, research assignments might be more your style. Here, each student can find and review a different article <a href="http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=eds">using the library's Discover! service</a>. Such exposure often helps struggling students better understand business profiles, lab reports, and literary critiques. Plus, it improves their research skills without taxing yours.<br />
<br />
<u><strike>Classroom Presentation</strike> Online Presentation</u><br />
Presentations, often the greatest burden on class schedules, can also be transitioned online. Through the library's <a href="http://www.coastal.edu/library/equipment/index.html">equipment checkout</a> service students can check-out webcams, microphones, camcorders, and laptops to work from home or use any of the library's webcam-equipped desktops, each with presentation software. Either way, the challenge of the assignment is preserved as is everyone's weekend.<br />
<br />
<u>Something Else</u><br />
These are only a few assignments to try. For additional assignment suggestions, check CeTEAL's guide for <a href="http://libguides.coastal.edu/contingency/fluproofing">Contingency Instruction</a> or <a href="http://www.coastal.edu/intranet/ceteal/">contact them directly</a>. For additional resources, <a href="http://libguides.coastal.edu/">review your course's LibGuide</a> or <a href="http://www.coastal.edu/library/ask/index.html">contact your friendly library staff</a>.<br />

</div>
Starting Sunday, September 25, Kimbel Library and Bryan Information Commons is hosting Banned Books Week with events to highlight ongoing censorship.<br />
<br />
If you need a bit of levity, join a live Twitter session on Tuesday or roast marshmallows on Thursday.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vtWMxUllwkY/WA4Cec4A9PI/AAAAAAAAB40/aAkbDpSTZeQJLZw3i5SG_LXdLjTxzHlwQCLcB/s1600/Banned%2BBooks%2BWeek%2Bposter%2Bwithout%2Bfundraiser.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vtWMxUllwkY/WA4Cec4A9PI/AAAAAAAAB40/aAkbDpSTZeQJLZw3i5SG_LXdLjTxzHlwQCLcB/s320/Banned%2BBooks%2BWeek%2Bposter%2Bwithout%2Bfundraiser.png" width="247" /></a></div>
Burning to share your favorite banned book? Volunteer any day to read a few passages for <a href="https://youtu.be/ee2TUmJOH78">a video compilation</a>. After months of planning the events, Hailey Schaub is eager to read a memoir for the video. She's still deciding which memoir, though, and is open to any suggestions.<br />
<br />
There're even displays featuring banned books ready for you to checkout and read in solace off-campus.<br />
<br />
Of course, Banned Books Week is more than an excuse to have fun with coworkers or read blacklisted books. It's a chance to resist ignorance and promote growth.<br />
<br />
Censorship is, even in the best scenario, a narrowing of perspective, directly contradicting the spirit of inquiry that we, as educators, strive to foster in students, colleagues, and the community. This week, we have an opportunity to remind everyone of those dangers and of the value in unrestricted perspectives.<br />
<br />
To that end, maybe you'd care to share your perspective with us? Is there a banned work that deserves the attention of the campus or a taboo topic that we need to discuss? Contact us directly with your thoughts or, better yet, collaborate with us this week and share your perspective with everyone at Kimbel Library. We'll be waiting for you.<br />
<br />
Banned Books Week is fully realized thanks to the Judith F. Krug Memorial Fund of The Freedom to Read Foundation, whose mission is the protection of intellectual freedom. This grant was obtained by Christi Rippy, now with the Office of Philanthropy.Kimbel Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733097401368719569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008897707029847263.post-51286952064326043322016-08-19T08:43:00.001-04:002016-08-19T08:43:04.751-04:00Fall Hours<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />On Sunday, August 21, at 7:30 a.m. the library and commons buildings will open again for regular semester hours.

We think that there are many possibilities: It can be used to record music and theater performances, create video content for a portfolio and to record group projects. If you go snorkeling, diving or are on the water, the Library’s GoPros have a waterproof case and a floating bobber attachment. Maybe you want to improve your tennis game or your golf swing; you can record video or take bursts of photos at 30 frames per second. We are excited to hear how you would use it!</span></span></span><br />

A Roundup of 2015’s Best Reads: Fiction<br />
<br />
Here are 5 of some of the most written about, highly rated and acclaimed novels of 2015 (all<br />
<br />
which can be found in your library!)<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Book of Aron<br />
<br />
Jim Shepard<br />

Main Stacks PS3569.H39384B77<br />
<br />
This historical fiction features reallife Warsaw Ghetto hero, Janusz Korczak, a Jewish<br />
<br />
pediatrician and children’s advocated who founded an orphanage and refused to abandon the<br />
<br />
children in his care. According to a Booklist review, author Shepard “presents a profoundly<br />
<br />
moving portrait of Korczak; explores, with awe, our instinct to adapt and survive; and through<br />
<br />
the evolving consciousness of his phenomenally commanding young narrator, exposes the<br />
<br />
catastrophic impact of war and genocide on children.” (Booklist, vol 111, number 16, p32)<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Finders Keepers<br />
<br />

<br />
Publishers weekly calls this one a “taut thriller” and the main character, Morris Bellamy, one of<br />
<br />
King’s “creapiest creations – a literate and intelligent character whom any passionate reader will<br />
<br />
both identify with and be repelled by.” If you are looking for novel filled with nailbiting<br />
<br />
suspense, checkout Finders Keepers. (Publishers Weekly, vol 262, issue 16)<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Green Road<br />
<br />
Anne Enright<br />
<br />
Main stacks PR6055.N73G74<br />
<br />
Library Journal claims VERDICT Booker Prize winner Enright “lays bare the hopes, desperations,<br />
<br />
and all too brief moments of understanding in family and modern life.” Rosaleen's adult children<br />
<br />
gather for Christmas in Ireland for the first time in years. Rosaleen can't be made happy, and<br />
<br />
her children are far from trying anymore, if they ever did. Rosaleen forces her children to see<br />
<br />
her and her choices in a new light. (Library Journal, vol 140, issue 6, p73)<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Illuminations<br />
<br />
Andrew O’Hagan<br />
<br />
Main stacks PR6065.H18I44<br />
<br />
O'Hagan, a multiaward winner named one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists in 2003,<br />
<br />
tells a story about storytelling and how it must sometimes be blown out of the water. Library<br />
<br />
Journal summarizes that a documentary photographer, Anne Quirk, has survived loving a<br />
<br />
devious man by creating her own ongoing deceptions. But then her grandson Luke, a captain in<br />
<br />
the Royal Western Fusiliers, returns home to Scotland after finding his perceptions of the world<br />
<br />
wiped clean by the war in Afghanistan. Luke and Anne join forces to investigate a mystery in<br />
<br />
Anne's past (Library Journal, vol 139, issue 16, p63)<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Spool of Blue Thread<br />
<br />
Anne Tyler<br />
<br />
Main stacks PS3570.Y45S68<br />
<br />
A chronicle of the Whitshank family though several generations in Baltimore, Maryland. <br />
<br />
Publishers Weekly mentions some problems with cohesion, but otherwise says the story is<br />
<br />
thoroughly enjoyable and that Tyler is a ‘gifted and engrossing storyteller.” (Publishers Weekly,<br />
<br />
vol 261, issue 50, p)<br />

This February, in honor of Black History Month, the Kimbel Library is asking you to test your knowledge of some key figures by taking our "They Made their Stamp on History" quiz. The quiz is located in the foyer and is open to all current CCU students. The grand prize is an unframed motivational poster featuring the images of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Bob Marley and Barack Obama entitled "The Thinker."<br />

Do you want to improve your research skills? LIBR courses focus on finding, evaluating and using information sources. The library has two different one-credit online courses that start on March 14.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
LIBR 103 introduces students to research using a variety of research tools, and LIBR 123 introduces students to using business sources in research. These online courses challenge students to think critically about information, such as how what is considered the best source may change based on what information is needed and how it will be used.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<br />

De-Stress Fest is Dec. 3 to 10 at Kimbel Library. When you need to take a break from studying, come to the foyer for games like Giant Jenga, checkers and tic-tac-toe. Library staff will be serving snacks in the late night hours. Look for activities this week to reduce stress during finals week.<br />

<br />
The library is giving patrons several ways to make finals less stressful during De-Stress Fest. We are providing free ear plugs so you can create your own "silent study" zone. There are coloring books and colored pencils, games including Jenga, Connect 4, checkers, corn hole and word searches. We will be providing snacks and juice boxes into the late hours. Various tables will be set up where you can send a postcard home, play a name game and check out uplifting quotes from COAST.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wednesday, Nov. 11 is Veterans Day. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Commemorated as Armistice Day the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kimbel Library will be honoring Veterans in the campus community with several displays in the Bryan Information Commons. Displays will include America's White Table, a letter writing table to send thank you notes through the Any Soldier organization and a "Thank You" wall to write the names or post a photo of family or friends who have served in the military. A special thank you to all the men and women who have fought for our country, honor and freedom!</span></div>
