2015 has been designated The International Year of Light and Light Based Technologies. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is a cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society.

The new display is in the large case next to the Circulation Desk.

Professional Effects

The "life of the mind" is often mistakenly cast as an internal intellectual pursuit only. But scholars have always used physical tools, and are sometimes even drawn to their respective fields because of these tools. These objects can have special bearing on how we perceive the world around us, or can be purely utilitarian instruments for executing research. In other cases, they are simply the way we communicate (teaching) to others about our fields of study. More broadly stated, they are our Professional Effects.

These unique items, characterizing a broad range of scholarly activity, will be on exhibit in the Library display cases from Oct 31 - December 23.

Dr. Karen Diller, library faculty member, will share the results of her dissertation on how library study spaces can be helpful in relieving mental fatigue and supportive of effective study strategies. Her research uses theory from environmental and educational psychology to look at whether access to green spaces has an impact on reducing mental fatigue and on perceived abilities to study effectively.

“Too stressed to study? Feast your eyes on some greenery."
