Aravind Ranganathan poses with his prize, an iPod nano
Aravind Ranganathan, a PhD student in Computer Science at the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS), recently won an iPod nano by participating in the Knovel University Challenge.
The Challenge was a nationwide contest for engineering students, and required them to locate answers to technical questions using collections in the Knovel online technical resource. Knovel is a subscription product paid for by UC Libraries. Aravind won in the “Contest Within a Contest” category.
Here is the list of all winners: http://why.knovel.com/knovel-university-challenge-2009/2009-winners.html.
While not busy with his PhD studies, Aravind enjoys working as a Graduate Assistant in the Engineering Library. Congratulations!
Congratulations UC Bearcat on being named the Capital One Mascot Challenge Winner!
UC Libraries is especially proud of this victory as we played a small role in the Mascot’s success. The entry video submitted to Capitol One was produced in the STRC using the video-editing suite.
According to Wikipedia, learning something new (such as a foreign language or music), is one of the popular New Year’s resolutions in the United States. But what if you don’t have the time to enroll in a class and cannot afford a learning kit from Rosetta Stone? The good news is that the University of Cincinnati Libraries have a wonderful collection of books, media, and other resources for you to learn a new language. Our collections primarily support the language courses offered through the School of World Languages and Cultures and offer resources for learning Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, and Swahili. We also have vast collections in the areas of German Studies and Romance Languages and Literatures. Find links to Internet and library resources and tips for finding videos and DVDs in foreign languages and/or about countries or cultures at our Language Resources page.
So if you are making a New Year’s resolution this year and you commit to learning a language and/or facts about a country or culture, the University of Cinciinati Libraries will help you to achieve your goal! Good luck!
The Albino Gorno Memorial Music (CCM) Library and Music Listening Center will be closed December 24 through January 7 so that it may move from its current location on the fourth floor of Blegen Library to its newly renovated location on the sixth floor.
