Christmas Luncheon

Taking a breather after the craziness of finals, the librarians got into the holiday spirit! With music playing from a handy dandy iPhone, fresh pasta from a local restaurant, and good spirits in the air, the staff of Alemany got together one more time before going away on vacation. Good times were had. Suzanne outdid herself with this scrumptious gingerbread house!


One tasty treat after another.


Ye ol' Christmas tree. Target style.

We finally have an excuse to bust out the good china!

NOM NOM NOM!

Wow, look at that spread!

Where's all the food?

Table for 14, please.

Suzanne welcomes you!

Stanford Dissertations Will be Published Online

Stanford University and Google are working together to electronically publish doctoral dissertations online. Students are now able to upload electronic copies of their dissertations directly from their computers, cutting out the need for printing them on acid free paper and having them bound.

"It doesn't make sense anymore that the final medium for scholarship should still be paper," said university Registrar Tom Black, one of the administrators behind the change.

The switch, which began last Monday, will affect the more than 600 doctoral dissertations filed each year at Stanford. Plans already are being made to extend the electronic effort to thousands of master's theses and honors papers.

The goal is to make the dissertations more accessible and to have them published more quickly while being green at the same time.

Christmas in the Library

Tis the season once more! The staff at good ol' Alemany gathered around ye ol' Christmas tree and made the merry making. After working all year long, it does our weary bones some good to bring holiday cheer to all the students who come in. One look at our Christmas tree, and maybe, just maybe, a little bit of the stress of finals goes away. Here's hoping!

Jane oversees the trimming of the tree!

Come all ye faithful...

Team work everyone! Put your backs into it!


Student workers, staff, and other join forces!

A work of art if ever I saw one.

Literature Resources

Currently the Library has two literature specific databases -- The Literature Resource Center and LitFinder. Both of these will now be searchable under a single interface called Literature Resources.

Literature Resources creates a single interface to search LitFinder, Literature Resource Center, Scribner's Writers Series, and Twayne's Authors Series. Literature resources from Gale Virtual Reference Library have also been added to the search. This means one-stop-shopping for author biographies, literature criticisms, reviews and news, primary sources and literary works, and topic and work overviews.

The links for LitFinder and the Literature Resource Center will go away during Winter Break.
