On May 6th, the CECH Library will unveil a newly redesigned website at a new URL.  The new website is easy to read and navigate with an updated look and feel, an uncluttered homepage and streamlined navigation. User-requested features such as Today’s Hours, an enhanced location map and a prominent link to Off-Campus Access are included.

Vivid graphics, chicklets that link back to the CECH website, our NASA Educators Resource Center information and New Education Resources are prominent.  Linked resources under our About, Services, Research Resources, Curriculum Resources Prek-12, and Help Tabs provide updated tools and web pages that support CECH teaching and research.  Note too the direct links to key Criminal Justice, Education, Curriculum Resources, Human Services and Information Technology databases and research guides.

On May 6, we will email a link to our new CECH Library website!

 

 

A Poem in Your Pocket All Month Long: Emily Dickinson

pocketpiece-01Hope is the thing with feathers

by Emily Dickinson

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chilliest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

April is National Poetry Month. In celebration of this, UC Libraries has mounted an exhibit on the fourth floor of Langsam Library celebrating poetry and poets.

A Poem in Your Pocket All Month Long: T.S. Elliot

pocketpiece-01Morning at the Window
by T.S. Eliot

They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And along the trampled edges of the street
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.

The brown waves of fog toss up to me
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.

Pre meeting before seeing another NGO (swift laundry). The workers were rescued from the sex trade

Finished the day at a night club situated at the top of a large hill requiring a two-minute drive in an open jeep to the top.
