April is National Poetry Month

Update (May 5, 2011): View "favorite lines of poetry" submitted by CBC Library users. 

The CBC Library is featuring a National Poetry Month display of books of poetry, about poetry and poets, and recordings of poets reading their work.  We've included books of poetry from Katrina Roberts who will be here tomorrow, April 7th at 7 PM (HUB Main Stage), along with works from LitFest poets who came in previous years.  We are also featuring ebooks of/about poetry in our catalog; you'll need the 'Library Research' password for the quarter to read them off campus.

We would also like to invite poetry fans to share one of their favorite lines of poetry with us, either here in the library or on our Facebook page.

National Poetry Month is a program of the Academy of American Poets, which offers 30 Ways to Celebrate, as well as many poems and information about poetry on their website.

Database Trial - Sharpe Online Reference

We currently have a trial running of Sharpe Online Reference. These are highly praised scholarly reference titles available online as a onetime purchase. The majority of the titles currently available are useful for U.S. History. Titles that are potentially useful for other history courses include:
· Latino History and Culture
· Global History: Cultural Encounters
· World Trade: From Ancient Times to the Present
· Conflicts Since World War II

The title Social Issues in America covers the sort of topics that are of interest in Philosophy and Sociology, as well as for issue-oriented composition research papers.

This trial runs until February 10th 2011. Please contact library@columbiabasin.edu with your feedback. If you recommend purchase please indicate which individual titles and what courses/projects they would support, as the library is not likely to purchase the whole database at this time.
