Just a friendly reminder that if you’re studying in the library and you need to walk away for a break, please take your wallet, laptop, cellphone, ipod, and anything else you wouldn’t want to lose. (And don’t forget those pricey textbooks!) We love it that you feel safe and secure here, but unfortunately the library is not immune to some of the typical big city hazards. Remember to keep an eye on your stuff.

Disability Studies: Online resources for a growing discipline:
(a collection of web sites from the Association of College and Research Libraries)
http://crln.acrl.org/content/71/5/252.full
“Disability Studies as an interdisciplinary field of academic inquiry began to emerge in the 1970s in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Today, Disability Studies is a nearly global phenomenon with universities in Scandinavia, Asia, Europe and South Africa offering minors, certificates, graduate, and undergraduate degrees in the field. Disability Studies grew out of the Independent Living movements, and gained momentum as people with disabilities and their advocates began deeper and more active engagement in the political process so as to effect changes in public policy.”
