If you’re like me and a fan of the TV show Bones, you might enjoy these two new additions to the library:
The Bone Lady : Life As A Forensic Anthropologist.
Trail Of Bones : More Cases From The Files Of A Forensic Anthropologist.
As director of the Forensic Anthropology and Computer Enhancement Services (FACES) Laboratory at Louisiana State University, Mary H. Manhein unravels mysteries of life and death every day. A fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and an expert on the human skeleton, Manhein assists law enforcement officials across the country in identifying bodies and solving criminal cases. Manhein reveals the everyday realities of forensic anthropology. Going beyond the stereotypes portrayed on television, this real-life crime scene investigator unveils a gritty, exhausting, exacting, alternately rewarding and frustrating world where teamwork supersedes individual heroics and some cases unfortunately remain unsolved. A natural storyteller, Manhein provides gripping accounts of dozens of cases from her twenty-four-year career. Some of them are famous, others less well-known but equally compelling. Possessing both compassion and tenacity, Mary Manhein has an extraordinary gift for telling a life story through bones. Trail of Bones takes readers on an entertaining and educating walk in the shoes of this remarkable scientist who has dedicated her life to providing justice for those no longer able to speak for themselves.
Both books are located at the Dental Library and can be checked out.
The public PCs have been restored to the 3rd floor of the Isché Library and some of the new furniture has been delivered, but not the new reference desk. If you need reference assistance, just ask at the front desk.
New Ische Furniture
All of the furniture was removed this morning from the Isché Library 3rd floor. It looks like we could host a dance.
Empty 3rd floor
While we wait on new furniture . . . the public computers located on the third floor of the library (located by reference services) are being removed until later this week.
The public computers located on the 4th in the main area and in the lab are still in operation, as well as the computers on the 5th floor and in the Commons Area. The print stations will still be in operation on the 3rd floor- if you cannot find it, just ask!
Please be patient with us while wait for new furniture to arrive.
The Isché & Dental Libraries will be open regular hours on Sunday, January 17th but both libraries will be closed on Monday, January 18th. Both will reopen at 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
