Database Trial: Oxford Bibliographies Online (renewed)

UMBC's trial access to Oxford Bibliographies Online has been renewed. The trial runs through February 21, 2011.

Oxford Bibliographies Online (OBO) is a library of disciplined-based subject modules. In each subject module, leading scholars have produced a literary guide to the most important and significant sources in an area of study they know best. The guides feature a selective list of bibliographic citations supported by direct recommendations about which sources to consult. Each topic has a unique editorial commentary to show how the cited sources are interrelated. The citations promote discoverability as they link out to the sources via your library collection or through Google books and more.

For off-campus access, please login via VPN first (http://vpn.umbc.edu). Then follow the link under "News & Events" on the library homepage. For more info on remote access, see http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/services/remoteaccess.php

Please let us know what you think. Leave a comment or send your comments to Drew Alfgren at alfgren@umbc.edu.

Kuhn Library & Gallery 0 0 true Mon, 24 Jan 2011 17:50:53 -0500 Inauguration Day
The little town in southern North Carolina featured a small collection of chain hotels, the usual fast food joints and an industrial plant that had contaminated the groundwater with its waste.  I woke up in an anonymous room in one of those hotels.  I put on a suit and tie, and had to fight the sense that they were just a costume meant to create the illusion that I was a grown-up.  Then I headed out to the plant.

This was my first solo out-of-town trip as an attorney.  The plant’s corporate owner—a major defense contractor—was suing its insurance companies for coverage of costs relating to the poisoned water.  And I was now one of the defense contractor’s hired guns.  The more senior attorneys back at the firm in Los Angeles had tasked me with finding documents that might be relevant to the lawsuit.

Months earlier, in a more optimistic phase of my life between the California Bar Exam and my first day of work at the firm, I had volunteered with the Clinton-Gore campaign in Washington, DC.  My little piece of the action had involved gathering information about local issues to prepare the candidates and their representatives in advance of campaign trips.  It was a trivial contribution in the context of a national election, but I had felt like I was at the center of everything that mattered.  On election night, when Bill Clinton had stepped onto a stage in Little Rock to speak to his supporters, I had been completely swept up in the moment and felt truly alive.

Now, on a cold day in January, I walked from office to office and across the shop floor, asking what was in the filing cabinets and taking notes.  I felt uncomfortable and ambivalent, trapped in someone else’s life while the world passed me by.  And because this was Presidential inauguration day, I wanted nothing more than to be standing on the Mall in DC or watching television in the company of friends.  But I had my responsibilities, and at the moment they involved interviewing middle managers and their assistants, and trying to block out the gentle country tunes being piped into every room at the plant.

Suddenly, in the middle of an interview, the soft sounds in the background changed.  Familiar words were forming, almost inaudible over the hum of fluorescent lights and machines: “ . . . do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute . . .”  I realized suddenly that those country tunes must have been coming over the radio, and the station had cut to the inauguration ceremony!  It was almost exactly noon, 18 years ago today.

I interrupted the person who was telling me about the contents of her filing cabinets.  “Hey,” I said, “I think that’s the inauguration!”  She stared at me blankly.  “Oh, you mean the political thing?,” she said.  “I heard that was today.” 

I paused a few seconds before responding, wanting to hear more of those powerful words from the new President, the President I had helped to elect.  Maybe I could even catch his inaugural address.  Maybe my interviewee would want to pause for a few moments to listen with me . . . but no.  She looked at me impatiently, expectantly.  I sighed and returned to my questions.  Eventually the radio switched back to its regular programming, and the background was filled once again with soft, rhythmic noise.

(Note: For more on my experience as a lawyer, go here).

"They live in a society that prizes the development of career skills but is inarticulate when it comes to the things that matter most. The young achievers are tutored in every soccer technique and calculus problem, but when it comes to their most important decisions—whom to marry and whom to befriend, what to love and what to despise—they are on their own. Nor, for all their striving, do they understand the qualities that lead to the highest achievement. Intelligence, academic performance, and prestigious schools don’t correlate well with fulfillment, or even with outstanding accomplishment. The traits that do make a difference are poorly understood, and can’t be taught in a classroom, no matter what the tuition: the ability to understand and inspire people; to read situations and discern the underlying patterns; to build trusting relationships; to recognize and correct one’s shortcomings; to imagine alternate futures. In short, these achievers have a sense that they are shallower than they need to be." 
It's a longish article, but worth checking out.

At 10:00 last Thursday evening, in the same conference room, the scene had changed completely.  Most of the retreat-goers and several STRiVE coaches were deeply engaged in a giddy game of “Monkey in the Middle,” joyfully flinging a plastic ball around the hall, music blasting in the background.  Everywhere there was laughter and applause as the participants unselfconsciously poked fun at themselves and encouraged each other in their goofiness and glee.  It was a moment of pure harmony, a shared peak experience in which everyone was exactly where they wanted to be, with people they trusted implicitly.  Of all the amazing STRiVE moments from the past week, that is the one I am certain I will never forget: an eternal instant in which our collective sense of belonging and community was pure and perfect.

The STRiVE curriculum focuses on personal development, group dynamics and social transformation.  The content is designed to help participants develop skills, insights and plans that position them for success as leaders and agents of change.  But the content is just a fraction of the STRiVE experience.  What matters more is that participants and coaches (students and staff from UMBC) share their stories, values and hopes.  They step out of role, drop pretenses, encourage each other to be real and take risks together.  In the end, what makes the STRiVE experience so special is what emerges spontaneously from those interactions: deep mutual appreciation, life-changing breakthroughs, crazy energy, and a sense that anything in the word is possible.  Though the structure has remained essentially the same, no two STRiVE retreats have been alike, because the participants have made each one their very own.  Aside from a multitude of unique conversations, this year featured sledding without sleds, the baby shark Dougie, the green glass door, no-hands four square, freezing marshmallows, a chorus of Journey tunes, Apples to Apples at mealtime, and an awkward phone call to sing “I’m a Little Teapot” to my mother.

The deep magic of STRiVE is that it produces these spontaneous transformations intentionally and reliably.  Four days from strangers to friends.  Four days from isolated parts to a whole greater than their sum.  Four days to authenticity, belonging, and the will to change the world.  I wonder whether we’re always just four intense days away from that sense and spirit in all of our communities.

The end of the semester is typically a busy time for donations to the archives and Special Collections. Here are a few highlights that have come into the University Archives recently:

UARC 2011-003: President's Office records

This small donation, only .25 linear feet, came from Karen Wensch just before her retirement this Fall. One gem from this donation is a resolution passed in 1992 by the City Council of Baltimore, "in recognition of [Dr. Freeman Hrabowski's] appointment as interim president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County." This demonstrates the relationship between the City of Baltimore and our county campus.

We have a small collection of plaques, honorary degrees, and certificates awarded to Dr. Hrabowski available in our President's Office records.

UARC 2011-001: University Photographs

UARC2011-004.jpg

This beautiful image of the Albin O. Kuhn Library was taken by UMBC's own Tim Ford in the Fall of 2005. Tim is the Manager of Illustrative Services, located in the Biological Sciences building. He has longed served as UMBC's unofficial (and sometimes official) documentarian of campus life and has often worked with campus departments on capturing the events and people that pass through our halls. This image was prepared by Tim as a retirement gift to Pat Cronise, UMBC's former Slide Librarian. If you're looking for historic images of people and places at UMBC, you can contact Special Collections and we can work with you to locate an appropriate photograph within our holdings or from other photograph collections on campus.

UARC Photos-13: University Photographs

While this accession, or group of photographs, is not new to Special Collections, it is being made more accessible because it is being processed. When you process an archival or photography collection, you rehouse, arrange, and describe the collection so that researchers can learn about the materials and locate the items within the collection much easier. Special Collections student assistant Paul Pierson has been rehousing these slides into archival polypropylene sheets and creating a folder listing. These sheets will not off gas or damage the chemical emulsion on the slides. Thanks Paul!
