Celebrating Poetry

Posted on by

Clermont College Library celebrated National Poetry Month with the fifth annual Haiku Contest. Sixty-five students submitted 155 haiku. The poets came from a variety of majors including IT, history, and of course English.

Each morning during the entry period, I opened the portal and collected the poems. Haiku is a poetic form that is dependent on the experiences of the person writing. As I read each one, I admired the uniqueness of each poem.

After I read the haiku, I collected them in a document (sans the authors’ names) and sent them to our wonderful judges, Professors Cassie Fetters and Mike Hampton, who determined the winners.

 

Grand prize went to Meranda Balkema for:

 

Merenda Balkema

 

Darkness cannot win

If I do not let it in

Spring’s sun, makes it run

 

 

 

 
Three honorable mentions were chosen:

 

Love, justice, freedom

Sometimes that which gives us life

Can tear us apart

– Tessa Moore

 

Serendipitous

One word with five syllables

That is pretty cool.

– Evan Tellep

 

I despise the foes

Who char marshmallows to ash

And say “edible”

– Julia Wahle

 

Thanks to all who entered. We look forward to the 2017 Haiku Contest.

Medical Resources at UC Clermont College

Posted on by

Where do you find medical information when you need it? There are some great websites such as MedlinePlus.org, PubMed.gov, WebMD.org and the MayoClinic.org, but as a student, faculty, or staff member at UC Clermont, you have much more available to you!

Medline with Full Text (EBSCO)Ebsco is different from the website MedlinePlus. If you’re familiar with the searching capability of the EBSCO databases, you will be able to search Medline with Full Text. It covers the full text of 1,370 medical journals from 1965 to the present (with no embargo—meaning they don’t hold back the most recent issues for paid subscribers).

Also within the EBSCO group are other important medical databases: CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, and Health Source: Consumer Edition.
