This micro-blogging platform allows us to create dynamic, image-driven content, with the collaboration of our wonderful student assistants.<br />

Though Reading Girl Speaks has served us well (and you, we hope!) since 2005, she will be retiring over the summer.<br />

We'll keep posting here this semester and linking to our Tumblr, which is fun as well as informative.

These awards focus on specific genres,
authors from various ethnic and racial backgrounds, different countries, and reader popularity. Books chosen for our display were selected from a number of different awards lists.<br />
<br />
You can find the display in the Spotlight on the Collections cabinets and book cases in the Mudd Academic Commons--turn to the left after entering the front doors and you can't miss it! We hope this collection will give you a good starting point to find a good read or two during winter term. You're welcome to check out any book you find there.Oberlin College Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16850098526487789071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15674736.post-71590398986671660532016-01-19T10:28:00.001-05:002016-01-20T16:01:59.305-05:00[UPDATE: OBIS is back up!] OBIS scheduled downtime Wed.

Remember that special due dates still apply to reserve materials, periodicals, recalled items, interlibrary loans, OhioLINK materials, and other short-term loan items, and you will be responsible for fines if the items are returned overdue.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;">
If you wish to keep library materials during the holiday shutdown or beyond, please <a href="http://www.oberlin.edu/library/circ/fall/renewals.html" style="color: #990033; text-decoration: initial;"><b>renew</b></a> them. If you are leaving library materials in a Main Library scholar study or carrel for shutdown and/or Winter Term, please be aware that the green, in-house use streamers must be date stamped so that we know that your books are not overdue. Be sure to ask the circulation desk staff to date stamp your renewals and new check-outs if you are not offered that service.</div>
