Early American Titles – Enhanced Accessibility
Carlson Library recently added author-title records into
PILOT, the library’s online catalog of holdings, for more
than 16,000 early American books and documents.
These additions represent the individual holdings of the
Early American Imprints, first series, 1639-1800,
microfiche collection and is listed in Charles Evans’
work, American Bibliography.
The microfiche contains the full-text of all known and existing books,
pamphlets, and broadsides published in America from 1639-1800, Both the
bibliography and the microfiche can be found on Level 1 of the Library and
individual titles from the collection can now be searched in PILOT. Examples
of the available titles can be found by doing a call number search in PILOT
using “Early American Imprints” as the search string.

Images Of America In The Early French Rock
Press
Dr. Elisabeth Donato, associate professor of modern
languages, will be the opening speaker in the Spring Faculty
Author Seminar Series. Join us this Friday, January 30th, at
12:15 p.m. on Level A of the Carlson Library. A light lunch
will be served beginning at noon.
Donato’s presentation titled “Je t’aime…Moi non plus:
Images of America in the Early French Rock Press,” will
discuss the conditions under which “serious” rock and roll
criticism emerged in France. She will also be examining how the discourse of
early French rock criticism, reflects a fascination with, and attraction to,
America in an era when France was paradoxically expressing some staunch
anti-American sentiments.
The series is sponsored by the Faculty Affairs Committee of Faculty Senate
in cooperation with the University Library is and funded through the Clarion
University-Wide Faculty Development Committee’s Presidential
Advancement Award.

Computer Labs – Clean & Healthy
It’s cold and flu season and the University is trying to help
keep you healthy! Disinfecting wipes are available in each of
the Computer Labs in the Libraries. Take the time to use
them to wipe your hands and the keyboard before you begin
using a computer. This simple and quick precaution may
help to keep everyone healthier.

Computer Tip: Cool Spin Tricks
Did you know that if you have a mouse with a
scroll wheel on it, you can do some really cool
tricks?
Shift and Spin -- When viewing web pages, hold
down the Shift key and spin the wheel on your
mouse. Internet Explorer goes either backward or
forward through the pages you've recently visited, depending on which
direction you spin. I'll wait while you give that a try. Open up IE and follow
a few links. Then, hold down your Shift key and start spinnin' that wheel.
Ctrl and Spin -- If you are in a Web browser or reading an e-mail in
Outlook Express, hold down your Ctrl key and spin your mouse wheel. It
makes the text larger or smaller depending on which way you spin.
Not only does this spinning technique save lots of time, but it has the added
bonus of impressing the heck out of any novice computer users in the area.
