Welcome to the OSU Libraries News and Events page!

A recent OSU Spotlight blog post features Special Collections & Archives Research Center student assistant Hannah Mahoney, who describes how her recent internships and the basic archives course taught by SCARC faculty Tiah Edmunson-Morton and Larry Landis earlier this year have helped to shape her career path.  http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/spotlight/2012/08/27/from-past-to-present/

OSU Zotero users can now receive an additional 500 MB of Zotero institutional storage space.  All you need to do is associate an OSU email address with your Zotero account. 

 If you already use Zotero with an OSU email address, you can view your additional storage by going to Zotero’s website, https://www.zotero.org/.  Log on in the upper right-hand corner of the page, then click the Upgrade storage button (also in the upper right-hand corner).  This storage page lets you know how much storage space you have. 

 If you signed up for Zotero with a non-OSU email address, you can always add an OSU email address to your Zotero account.  Just follow the directions on this website, http://ica.library.oregonstate.edu/tutorials/lesson/631--Advanced-Zotero?mid=26750&type=MiscellaneousResource&uid=1276.

 This Zotero storage space was purchased with OSU TRF funds.  If you have questions about what Zotero is, how to use it, or how to access the Zotero institutional storage space, please email Hannah Rempel at hannah [dot] rempel [at] oregonstate [dot] edu.

This project represents some interesting weavings of "cultures" on several levels. Chad Hamill's book explores what indigenous songs brought to the Catholic mass.  This website demonstrates a successful collaboration between  Press and Library staff.  Finally, the First Peoples initiative represents an innovative partnership among several university presses, large and small, to use Mellon funding to further scholarship about First Peoples.

The ancillary Songs of Power and Prayer website, featuring audio recordings, is now live, with many thanks to First Peoples and to Ryan Ordway here in the library.  Enjoy the site and its sounds but don't forget to check out the book!
