Hidden Lane Library

Did you know…

...that Lane Library has over 200 cookbooks to teach you how to make food from many different regions and historical eras? We’ve collected a few here to illustrate the kinds of titles we have, but there’s so much more at the library!

We have some odd titles, like:

Donner Party Cookbook (19th century frontier recipies, not recipes for cooking people)

The insect cookbook : food for a sustainable planet (E-Book)

But mostly, we have cookbooks that let you eat your way through time and space -

Classical era Greek and Roman food TX713 .D35 1996	A taste of ancient Rome TX725.A1 G613 1992
Medieval Cuisine in the Islamic World : a concise history with 174 recipes TX725.A65 Z3613 2007	Food & drink in Britain : from the Stone Age to the 19th century GT2853.G7 W54 1991
Tudor cookery : recipes & history TX705 .B83 2003	Georgian cookery : recipes & history TX705 .S69 2003
The Medieval Cookbook TX717 .B538 1992	The pharaoh’s feast : from pit-boiled roots to pickled herring : cooking through the ages with 110 simple recipes TX645.R58 P42 2003

We also have plenty of titles to teach you all about modern cooking from around the world, here are just a few:

Tastes of North Africa : recipes from Morocco and the Mediterranean TX725.M8 W6 1999	Practical Thai cooking TX724.5.T5 S38 1985 (Wisconsin’s Own collection)
The German cookbook; a complete guide to mastering authentic German cooking TX721 .S54	New Persian Cooking : A Fresh Approach to the Classic Cuisine of Iran (E-book)
My Bombay Kitchen : Traditional and Modern Parsi Home Cooking (E-book)	Provence, the beautiful cookbook : authentic recipes from the regions of Provence TX719.2.P75 P76 1993

American food is so much more than apple pie and hamburgers (although they are delicious). There is a huge variation of food across the country depending on what region you’re in; think of cheesesteaks, deep dish pizza, gumbo, clam chowder, fried cheese curds, chicken fried steak, and so on. Ask 10 southerners what region has the best BBQ and you’ll get 10 different answers - Memphis, Lexington, Kentucky, Kansas City, Chicago, Texas, and on and on. The Hatfields and McCoys have nothing on the fierce battle that rages on for the title of best American BBQ. Here are a few books to introduce you to some American historical and regional foods:

The art of American Indian Cooking TX715 .K499 1988	The Slaw and the Slow Cooked : Culture and Barbecue in the Mid-south (E-book)
Food that Really Schmecks (Mennonite Food) (E-book)	Dishes and Beverages of the Old South TX715 .M474315 1988
Encarnación's kitchen : Mexican recipes from nineteenth-century California : selections from Encarnación Pinedo's El cocinero español (E-book)	The flavor of Wisconsin : an informal history of food and eating in the Badger State, together with 400 Favorite recipes (Wisconsin’s Own collection, TX715 .H12)
The food of a younger land : a portrait of American food : before the national highway system, before chain restaurants, and before frozen food, when the nation's food was seasonal, regional, and traditional : from the lost WPA files TX715 .F685 2009	The Lewis & Clark cookbook : historic recipes from the Corps of Discovery & Jefferson's America TX715.M363 L48 2002 (Western Americana collection)

I hope you check out one of our many cookbooks - - and please bring some of your creations to your favorite librarians!

Scholarship Workshop and Scholarship Materials

Many students are struggling with keeping above water when it comes to financing their education. Often students rely too heavily on loans, not understanding the difference between grants, loans, subsidized, unsubsidized, and how the interest rate affects the future cost of the loan. The far better option is to get a scholarship - a few hundred dollars from various organizations every year over four years of college can save you thousands after you leave.

Finding, applying for, and winning scholarships is terribly daunting. Many students don't even know where to start. Starting next semester, Lane Library will be having a multi-week Scholarship Workshop. During these two-hour workshops, you'll learn about all kinds of scholarships out there, how to find them, and best practices when it comes to winning them. Most importantly, you'll have a set time and place to focus on getting scholarships and others to help you with applying. If a student came to the seven week workshop, spending two hours each week, and earned a $500 scholarship, that's equivalent to earning $35.71 dollars an hour! Quite a pay raise from any campus position! Part of our time will also be set aside for learning about how to manage your finances so you leave college with as much money as possible.

To prepare for this workshop, the library got a few scholarship books, available for anyone to use. So we can be sure many students have a chance with them, they are on the reserves shelf. They circulate for 2 hours, in-library use only.

Information on thousands of scholarships, grants, and prizes is easily accessible in this revised directory and features awards indexed by career goal, major, academics, public service, talent, athletics, religion, ethnicity, and more.

2170 programs offering private, federal, and state money. Over 1.8 million awards including scholarships, internships, loans.

Provides detailed profiles of financial aid awards for higher education, covering such topics as eligibility, number of awards, amount of award, application requirements, and deadlines for applications.

Provides 30 complete winning scholarship essays with analysis of why they were successful, scholarship interview strategies, Q&A with scholarship judges, 12 essays that bombed and an essay-writing workshop that covers selecting a topic, creating an outline, writing and editing

Kristina won over $500,000 in scholarships, enough to get her a PhD, by working very hard and winning a lot of money along the way. She shares her story and explains how you can use her experience to get money of your own.

Cost should never be a barrier to receiving a high-quality education. That's why Peterson's continues to provide students and parents - like YOU - with the most comprehensive up-to-date, and accurate information on how to get your share of the financial aid pie. Peterson's is with you every step of the way. With our resouces for financial aid, education exploration, test prep, and career guidance, you'll be well prepared for success!

More information on the workshop will be emailed out to students as we near the next semester, so keep on the lookout, space will be limited!


Cheers,
Kate

Banned Books Week!

Banned Books Week - 2014!

To commemorate Banned Books Week, the library is having a Virtual Read Out and Banned Book Mugshot event - Thursday, September 25th from noon to 3:00pm.

It just takes a few minutes for you to get your mugshot with your favorite banned book and then read a few lines. We'll take the images and readings and make a compilation video to commemorate BBW 2014!! Everyone who participates will get a sweet pin and be entered to win a library swag prize!

About Banned Books Week

Many people think that banning books is something that happens only in the past or in extremist dictatorships in far-off countries, but it is, unfortunately, alive and well in the United States. Starting in 1982, Banned Books Week is an effort by librarians to highlight the importance of not censoring books and limiting the public's knowledge on topics that others may find "objectionable".  As John Stewart Mill wrote in "On Liberty":

But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

The titles challenged are sometimes shocking, such as To Kill A Mockingbird, The Giver, The Catcher in the Rye, and ironically, Farenheit 451. Take a moment to look at what texts people find so offensive that they fight to have it removed from libraries:

• Most challenged/banned titles in 2014: http://bannedbooksweek.org/about
• Top challenged/banned books of the 21st century
• Top challenged/banned classics

One thing these lists have in common is that you are guaranteed to find at least one title which changed your life (The Sun Also Rises, Sophie's Choice, Looking for Alaska, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Brave New World, Perks of Being a Wallflower...)

Here are recent local challenges. All have happened within a one-hour drive from Ripon:

Oshkosh, WI

(2007) Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass was removed from the St. John Neumann Middle and Lourdes High School in Oshkosh, WI because of concerns about what critics call its “anti-Christian message.”

Fond du Lac, WI

(2010) Julie Halpern's "Get Well Soon" was challenged at the Theisen Middle School in Fond du Lac, Wis. by a parent who believes that the book contains inappropriate subject matter for children.

(2010) Ann Brashares' "Forever in Blue, the Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood" was challenged at Theisen Middle School in Fond du Lac, WI by a parent who believes that the book has inappropriate subject matter for children. "Some (of the characters in the book) are sexually active, and alcohol is part of their recreation."

(2010) WritersCorps "Paint Me Like I Am: Teen Poems" was retained in the combined middle and high school library in North Fond du Lac, WI School District provided it has a label designating it as appropriate for high school students. Younger students could also access the book with prior parental permission. A parent asked the school district to reconsider the book due to mature language.

(2010) Sonya Sones' "One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies" was challenged but retained at the Theisen Middle School despite a parent's belief that the book's "sexual content was too mature for eleven-to fourteen-year-olds." The book has won several awards, including being named a 2005 Best Book for Young Adults by the American Library Association. The same parent plans to request removal of six other books from the library, including the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, another set of books by Sones, and Get Well Soon, by Julie Halpern.

Menasha, WI

(2008) Louise Rennison's "Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson" was retained with limited access at the Maplewood Middle School in Menasha after objections from a parent who found the book offensive. The book was retained, but board members voted unanimously to adopt procedures intended to secure parental consent before limited access books could be released to students.

Appleton, WI

Carol Plum-Ucci's the "The Body of Christopher Creed" was challenged, but retained in the Appleton, Wis. Area School District (2012), despite the book’s references to suicide and sex. Other titles also considered inappropriate by the local parent group, Valley School Watch, include The Catcher in the Rye and The House on Mango Street. The reading list for the group’s ideal alternate class would contain books with no profanity, obscenity, or sexual material.

West Bend, WI

(2009) Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", Brent Hartinger's "Geography Club", and Francesca Lia Block's "Baby Be-Bop" were just a few of numerous books challenged in West Bend because of content seen by some community members as obscene or harmful to minors. Many of the books challenged had LGBTQ themes. On May 18, 2009, the West Bend Common Council voted not to reappoint four members of the Library Board because of their views and adherence to library policy. NCAC, ABFFE, the Association of American Publishers, and PEN American Center joined to urge the council to reconsider their decision and retain the books. The ALA issued a separate letter and statement on the issue. Additionally, the Christian Civil Liberties Union filed a legal claim arguing that its plaintiffs suffered mental and emotional damage from the presence of the books in the library's young adult section. On June 2, the West Bend Library Board voted unanimously to retain the books in its YA Zone, without removing, relocating, labeling, or otherwise restricting access. Though no subsequent challenges were submitted, the library has faced ongoing pressure to remove or restrict access to online content and library materials for young people.

Crowdsourcing and online archives

In honor of the World War I centenary, the British National Archives have opened up a great new database - The British Army War Diaries 1914-1922.

 

This database contains over 1.5 million pages of war diaries and over the next few years the archives will be working on digitizing more appeal tribunals and service records of the Household Cavalry. The Archives currently has thousands of appeals against conscription, POW interviews, nurses' service records, Women's Army Auxiliary Corps service records, images, and Durham Home Guard records (WWII) digitized and searchable on their website.  

In and of itself, the database is a fantastic resource for researchers, but they're making it better by tagging the 1.5 million papers with names, dates, locations, happenings, and more. This undertaking would take years and millions of dollars (well, pounds) with an archive team working on it, but they're already almost half-way through because of crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing, as defined by Wikipedia is "the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, and especially from an online community, rather than from traditional employees or suppliers." Computers can easily read typed letters in an image - like when you have a pdf of a document - however, they have a hard time accurately reading handwriting. Humans, unlike computers, can read handwriting and use context to figure out most words that aren't immediately legible. To safeguard against bad transcriptions, they have many people work on the same piece. If the same tag or transcription is used by multiple users for a document, only then will those tags and transcriptions be officially added to the record.

The main organization putting together scientific and historic crowdsourcing is Zooniverse. They have twenty different projects currently going on. If you aren't interested in WWI history, maybe you'd like to analyze cancer data? hear whales communicate? match black holes to their jets? or explore the surface of the moon? 

Zooniverse offers a lot of different projects, all with an easy-to-use interface. I highly recommend taking a look at their offerings - zooniverse.org.

Crowdsourcing doesn't have to work towards just processing data for researchers, it has also been used to directly help people. After typhoon Haiyan, organizations used crowdsourcing to determine areas of greatest destruction using volunteers from 82 countries to create and compare before and after maps. These maps also helped volunteers on the ground to get to areas of greatest need. See this article for more details on their efforts. The website fold.it managed to harness gaming as a method of crowdsourcing. In 10 days, gamers solved a mystery concerning the structure of an enzyme that plays a key part in the spread of AIDS which had eluded scientists for years. The Leo Tolstoy Museum was able to proofread 46,800 pages in two weeks. These were then digitized to be used by fans worldwide.

I have worked on a few crowdsourcing projects. They are fun because you get to look at historical documents, the solar system, far-away countries, etc, and everyone's small contribution adds up to a huge advance in knowledge. No matter what you're interested in, I'm sure there's a way you can contribute through crowdsourcing.

Get started by taking a look at the following sites:
zooniverse.org
scistarter.com
birds.cornell.edu/citsci/ 
National Geographic's Fieldscope Project

Google-fu!

We recently had a "Google Advanced" workshop at the library. We could have also called it "Google-fu" - as wiktionary defines it: "Skill in using search engines (especially) Google to quickly find useful information on the Internet." Thanks to everyone who came out! It was perhaps one of our best attended workshops and for good reason - we all use search engines, usually google, many times a day. The search functions we discussed in the class allow you to search more quickly and with more accuracy. Click through the class Prezi below to find out what beginner, intermediate, and advanced googlers should be able to do:

Here are my favorite tricks -

• Site:  Searches within a domain. Example, “site:harvard.edu” or “site:gov”. Extremely helpful when you need government statistics or data, or just want academic results (site:edu). This is an example of what I would enter into the search box - "wi poverty statistics site:gov"
• ~ Finds synonyms of your term and searches with them too. "recipe Halloween ~dessert” searches for the word dessert and cookies, cakes, candy, etc.
• .. Number or publication date range, example: “$1..$5” or “1994..1998”. For instance, if I wanted to buy a vest that costs between $20 and $40, I would enter "vest $20..$40"
• In Google Images, click and drag an image file from your computer into the search box to search or images like it. 
• Use “ctrl + f” to find words on a page. Only 10% of users know this very useful and time-saving trick. Try it now! Hold down the "ctrl" and "f" keys at the same time ("command" and "f" on Apples). A small search box will appear in your browser, type in "10%" and it will highlight that phrase on this bullet point.

Guest author, book sale, it's Friends of Lane Library, 2013!

Wednesday, March 27th

6:30 pm - Friends of Lane Library meeting

7 pm - Guest author reading

 Delicious food and drinks will be served. 

We're very excited here around the library for our upcoming Friends of Lane Library spring festivities, which happen over the last week of the month.  For those of you who don't know, the Friends of Lane Library are a wonderful group of people who want to support the mission of the library.  Through their generous support, we've created the Silent Study Room, redone two conference rooms, added shelving units, purchased our first portable white board, and bought some furniture. Every year we hold a meeting to tell the Friends about what's been going on over the past year, thank them for their support, and have a guest author give a reading which is open to the whole community.  We also hold our annual book sale over this time period.  It begins on Tuesday the 26th and will end on Monday the 1st.

At 7 pm, we are very happy to welcome Wisconsin resident David McGlynn, author of many published short stories and two books, "The End of the Straight and Narrow" and "A Door in the Ocean".  David will be starting his reading at 7 pm, followed by a question and answer session with the audience and book signing.  Publisher's Weekly said of David's book, "A Door in the Ocean", 

McGlynn is an astute observer of relationships, and proffers insightful commentary on the power of memory to simultaneously burden and enrich the present. Beyond that, the sheer ease of his prose and the honesty of his journey are enough to keep readers moved and moving. 

He will be reading from "A Door in the Ocean," a memoir that begins with the violent and unsolved murder of his best friend as a teenager and follows his journey in dealing with the emotional fallout of such a tragedy. From the publisher:

On a warm September night in 1991, in a quiet neighborhood north of Houston, Texas, David McGlynn’s closest friend and teammate on the high school swimming team is found murdered on his living room floor. As the crime goes unsolved and his friends turn to drugs and violence, McGlynn is vulnerable, rootless, searching for answers. He is drawn into the eccentric and often radical world of evangelical Christianity—a journey that leads him to a proselytizing campus fellowship in Southern California, on a mission to Australia, and to Salt Lake City, where a second swimming–related tragedy leaves him doubting the authenticity of his beliefs.

In his post–evangelical life, he finds himself exiled from his parents, plunged into financial chaos, and caught off–guard by the prospect of fatherhood. A new job offers hope for a new beginning, until the possibility of losing his newborn son forces him to confront the nature of everything he believes.

The memoir’s concluding chapter, which appeared in The Best American Sports Writing 2009, celebrates the author’s love for swimming, the enduring metaphor for his faith and the setting for many of his life’s momentous occasions. Rough Water charts the violent origins of one young man’s faith and the struggle to find meaning in the midst of life’s painful uncertainties.

From his website, http://david-mcglynn.com/, David has won the 2008 Utah Book Award and was a finalist for the 2009 Steven Turner Award for Best First Fiction, and was named an "Outstanding Achievement" by the Wisconsin Librarian's Association.  His stories and essays have appeared in Men's Health, The Huffington Post, Best American Sports Writing, and numerous literary journals.  He teaches at Lawrence University in Appleton, where he lives with his wife and sons.  A lifelong swimmer, he captured a national championship in the 500-yard freestyle at the 2001 United States Masters National Championships.  He now competes in open-water races, and on most mornings is the first one in the pool.

Hope to see everyone here on March 27th!  Check out our Facebook event page, too.

Celebrating Martin Luther King Day

Today marks the birthday of one of America's greatest native sons, Martin Luther King, Jr.  Ripon College has a series of events this week designed to honor him and further the causes closest to his heart and we hope everyone on campus will attend at least one of these events (see below for events).

Although there will be memorials across all media and on campus, we recommend (as we always do) that you check out some primary documents to learn more about King as he was known during his own lifetime.

We've found a few wonderful sites online for you to take a peek at.  The archive at The King Center has an amazing digital collection full of his personal documents and other primary sources that illustrate all aspects of his life and works, as well as documents that illustrate race relations and the fight for civil rights in America before, during, and after his lifetime.

A piece of the American historical literary cannon, his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is his 1963 response to other clergymen's assertions that civil rights should be fought for in courts and not in the streets.  The quote "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." is from this landmark letter.  Stanford has a very useful annotated reprint of the letter that gives a full explanation of his references.  Available here.


Everyone has seen clips of his "I Have a Dream" speech, but have you ever watched it in its entirety?  Almost fifty years later his historic speech still brings chills to the viewer:

For some non-electronic sources, Lane Library has many, many volumes about King's life and work.  I have posted just a few here, but recommend you check the catalog to see all of them.

                              

We hope to see you at the events on campus this week (for more details, check out the college blog)

Need a good, scary movie for the occasion?  Stop by Lane Library and get something really frightening!  We have modern classics, thrillers, suspense, supernatural, and super campy.  All are available in the video section of the main floor in Lane Library.

Let the Right One In - Scandinavian vampire, note: she doesn't glitter and she is spooky

The Orphanage - Spanish suspense/horror film

Ringu - Often named as one of the only *truly* scary movies

Or maybe you don't want something too scary, but still fantasy/dark, watch Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro

The Devil's Backbone - horror/drama (also by Guillermo del Toro)



Gozu - a Japanese horror movie described as "sick" "twisted" "psychosexual" and "surreal" on RottenTomatoes



Lastly, for a cult-classic campy horror movie, watch Dead Alive - one of Peter Jackson's (who directed The Lord of the Rings films) first movies.  Gorey, funny, ridiculous, fantastic.  Not actually scary unless you fear New Zealanders.


These are just a sampling of what we have, stop by and browse the videos to see more.  Of course, there are always lots of good, spooky books in the library too!

@nfl #packers #scabs #paytherefs

The big news this morning is the absolutely terrible call made last night in favor of the Seahawks.  This is the image that best sums up the situation:

Photo courtesy of Rachel Nichols twitter feed, @Rachel_Nichols

At the heart of the matter is the fact that these referees are not as well trained as the refs who should have been on the field last night.  Those refs are currently on strike due to contract disagreements. People who take jobs from striking workers are called "scabs" - and this word is supposed to bring out all the negative connotation you can imagine.  Those two in the picture are scabs, doing their job badly.

Scabs have a long and colorful history in our country. One of the most infamous incidents is called the Haymarket Riot.  After a prolonged and bitter strike where the scabs were given the working conditions that the union had demanded, some union members had attacked scabs and the police ended up killing two men and wounding many others.  On May 4th, 1886, what was supposed to be a peaceful gathering ended up killing seven police officers, four men, and countless wounded.  May Day is now used as a commemoration of this.
