A recent gift from the National Speological Society landed us several cave-related titles for the library collections. Although scattered issues, here are titles worth further exploration: Capital area cavers bulletin, Southeast caver, newsletter of the Association for Mexican Cave Studies (which we had tried unsuccessfully to obtain a few years ago), SERA cave carnival, and, closer to home, some annual reports of the Cave Research Foundation.

Just check TOPCAT for location and exact holdings information. WKU’s renowned Hoffman Institute was definitely a factor in NSS sending these gifts to us.

We now have the extremely popular FISH! video for use in classes whether corporate communications, organizational psychology, business classes, etc. This video shows employees how to generate the energy needed for a high-morale work environment. It highlights four main concepts: play, make their day, be there, and choose your attitude. Also portrays the playful atmosphere necessary for creativity to flourish, as embodied by the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market of Seattle, Washington. On reserve at the Main Library Circulation desk, ask for VR2375.

Welcome and thanks for joining us on this new adventure. We in the Department of Library Technical Services hope to use this blog as a means of announcing some of the University Libraries newly acquired and cataloged materials. Please check back frequently!
