(kuer)As the human population grows, studies show that human-caused noise is growing too. The roar of automobile and airplane traffic extends across the landscape, and even reaches into remote environments. Scientists are starting to wonder what sort of effects this might have on animal species. Jeff Rice reports for the Western Soundscapes radio series.

The fine tuning of the county map is now complete and ready for browsing!

Each county has a drop down menu linking to items in the digital library.

Let us know what you think!

The Western CONTENTdm Users Group Meeting for 2010 is June 2-4 at Marriott Library. We’ve got a great lineup of presentations over a wide range of topics related to digital library innovations, production processes and digital preservation. Registration is open now for the June 2 preconference and the June 3-4 conference.

We’d like to take the credit for booking them, but by coincidence, U2 will be playing Rice Eccles Stadium (which is just a stone’s throw from Marriott Library) on June 3rd. Tickets are still available!

What better way is there to wrap up the conference day than by going to U2 that night?

We’re also tweeting! Follow us on Twitter for up to the minute conference news and information.

Marriott Library is abuzz with final preparation activities for the October 26 rededication. Continuum Magazine featured the rededication in their fall issue. Whether or not you plan to attend rededication or visit the library in the near future (and we hope you will do both!), we wanted to get out the word about the event and services that will be impacted.

Mrs. Laura W. Bush, who taught school and served as a public school librarian in Texas during her professional career, will deliver the keynote address at the rededication of the J. Willard Marriott Library on Monday, October 26, beginning at 10:30 a.m.

The rededication ceremony will be held in the library atrium on level three and is free and open to the public, however, invited ticket holders will have priority seating. Overflow seating will be provided in library classrooms 1130 and 1150 on level one, where the program will be streamed live on video screens.

To accommodate set up for rededication events, some Marriott Library collections, services, and facilities will be temporarily unavailable to patrons. We apologize for this inconvenience. Affected areas include:

Closed October 19 – October 30:

Grand Reading Room, level three

Closed October 23 – October 26:

Atrium and study areas, level three

Closed October 26 All Day:

Middle East Library, level three

Special Collections, level four

Closed October 26 from 7 a.m. until Noon:

The visitor parking lot west of the library will be reserved all day on October 26 for ticketed rededication guests.
