Library users! Get ready for the WilsonWeb-EBSCOhost database transition!

EBSCO, the provider of Academic Search Elite and other subscription databases available to Library users through the EBSCOhost interface, acquired the H. W. Wilson Company in June 2011.

In February, the WilsonWeb platform will be retired by EBSCO. Prior to the beginning of the spring 2012 semester, the Library’s links to WilsonWeb databases will be replaced by links to those same databases on the EBSCOhost platform.

Users of "My WilsonWeb" should note that this feature will no longer be active after December 31st, 2011. It will not be possible to transfer "My WilsonWeb" saved data to "My EBSCOhost.”

First Thursday Film Night presents We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân at 6pm on Thursday, Nov. 3 at Morris Graves Museum of Art (636 F Street, Eureka). Spurred on by their celebrated linguist Jane Little Doe Baird, the Wampanoag of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard are reviving their language more than a century after the last native speaker died. The story begins in 1994 when Jessie Little Doe, an intrepid, thirty-something Wampanoag social worker, began having recurring dreams: familiar-looking people from another time addressing her in an incomprehensible language. Jessie was perplexed and a little annoyed– why couldn’t they speak English? Later, she realized they were speaking Wampanoag, a language no one had used for more than a century. These events sent her and members of the Aquinnah and Mashpee Wampanoag communities on an odyssey that would uncover hundreds of documents written in their language, lead Jessie to a Masters in Linguistics at MIT, and result in something that had never been done before – bringing a language alive again in an American Indian community after many generations with no Native speakers. This screening will be facilitated by Marlon Sherman, Professor/Chair of Native American Studies at HSU. This monthly ITVS Community Cinema screenings convene community members, leading organizations and public television stations nationwide to encourage dialogue and action around the important social issues raised in these films. This series is brought to you by MGMA, KEET-TV and the HSU Library.

First Thursday Film Night presents Deaf Jam at 6pm on Thursday, Oct. 6 at Morris Graves Museum of Art (636 F Street, Eureka).  In Deaf Jam, Aneta Brodski seizes the day. She is a Deaf teen introduced to American Sign Language (ASL) Poetry, who then boldly enters the spoken word slam scene. In a wondrous twist, Aneta, an Israeli immigrant living in the Queens section of New York City, eventually meets Tahani, a hearing Palestinian slam poet. The two young women embark on a hearing/deaf collaboration, a performance duet that is a metaphor for the complex realities they share - generating a new form of slam poetry that speaks to both the hearing and the Deaf. This screening will be facilitated by Nancy Resnick, Associate Director of Human Resources at HSU. This monthly ITVS Community Cinema screenings convene community members, leading organizations and public television stations nationwide  to encourage dialogue and action around the important social issues raised in these films.  This series is brought to you by MGMA, KEET-TV and the HSU Library.
