Between the Lines, News from YOUR Research Library: Grow

Welcome to the third issue of Between the Lines, an e-newsletter created specifically with UNLV staff, faculty, administrators and graduate students in mind.

UNLV Hosts “Night at the Libraries” Event for National History Day

“It took one phone call,” Brian stated, “and Anne had her team on board.”

When Clark County School District (CCSD) program facilitator, Brian Boothe, contacted Anne Zald, Head of Educational Initiatives at the UNLV Libraries, to set up “Night at the Libraries,” an event that would complement a series of others that took K-12 students through community museums, Anne Zald eagerly set a plan in motion that would introduce university library research to area students and their families.

Echoes of The Rebel Yell: Digitizing UNLV’s Student Newspaper

For nearly sixty years, every Runnin’ Rebel has had the privilege of reading UNLV’s award-winning student newspaper, The Rebel Yell. Student writers may or may not have realized that their articles, while written to serve immediate information needs, would also become a rich historical record. With a grant from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and financial support from Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (CSUN) and the UNLV Graduate & Professional Student Association (GPSA), these archives are being preserved for posterity by UNLV Libraries.
