From our students…

“GrAbebaowing up I never thought I  would call librarians cool, but the ones at Highline are!”

“I’ve never been to college where all the librarians are so wonderful, energetic and caring, on top of being so helpful. When I started here at Highline, I felt a little out of place, with no friends or familiar faces, so the library became the spot for me. Slowly I got to know all the librarians by name (…and I’m horrible with remembering names),  and to my surprise, they were all cool – which helped make coming to school easy. I can honestly say the library was an ice breaker.”

~Abeba,

Music, Mind and Culture ~ Recommended Reading for November 2009

“…it is a principle of music to repeat the theme.  Repeat and repeat again, as the pace mounts.  The theme is difficult but no more difficult than the facts to be resolved.”  -from The Orchestra by William Carlos Williams (1954)

didgeridoo

It is an interesting exercise trying to define “music.”  To say that life is better with music is misleading, for a life utterly void of it is difficult to imagine.  So much more than entertainment, music informs and expands every aspect of human life – from the rites we observe to mark significant passages to the subliminal sonic cues we’re bombarded with as we shop.  Though we’re all born into a world of familiar music, life can get considerably more interesting if we decide to explore the musically unfamiliar!

Our Recommended Reading shelf for November invites you to do just that.  A musical miscellany, the list is comprised of works from social, cultural, psychological, historic, philosophical, technical and artistic perspectives.  Also included are electronic books, websites, and a small sample of DVDs and CDs from the Media Collection.

So come to your Highline Library this month and get a groove on; or, as James Brown advised, “get up, step up; there it is baby…”

NATIONAL INFORMATION LITERACY AWARENESS MONTH

A PROCLAMATION600px-Seal_Of_The_President_Of_The_Unites_States_Of_America.svg

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

On October 1st, President Obama issued a statement proclaiming October 2009 as National Information Literacy Awareness Month and called  “upon the people of the United States to recognize the important role information plays in our daily lives, and appreciate the need for a greater understanding of its impact.”

Recognizing “the need for all Americans to be adept in the skills necessary to effectively navigate the Information Age,” the President pointed out that “though we may know how to find the information we need, we must also know how to evaluate it.” He went on to say that libraries and universities “can help separate truth from fiction and signal from noise.”

We, at the Highline Community College Library,  support this goal and encourage you all to come into the library and take advantage of the services  we offer to help you find and evaluate the information you need!

Do You Read Banned Books?

Recommended Reading for September 2009BannedBooksWeekPin

It’s all about Intellectual Freedom!

Each year, the last week of September is designated Banned Books Week. During this time, we celebrate our democratic freedom to read whatever we want to read. This year marks BBW’s 28th anniversary.

According to the ALA’s Banned Books Week web site: “BBW celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them.”

Wonder what the difference is between a challenged book and a banned book?

According to the American Library Association, a challenge is “an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials. Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others.”

Below is a list of frequently challenged books.  While all of the books and other media on this list were challenged by various organizations and individuals, people concerned with intellectual freedom were able to uphold and maintain public access to most of them.
