Cambridge Histories and Caribbean Lit
Starting off 2010 with a bang, we have two new resources: Cambridge Histories Online and Alexander Street’s Caribbean Literature. Off-campus access is now available.
Cambridge Histories Online consists of Cambridge University Press’s reference titles in history. The collection is both browseable and searchable.
Caribbean Literature (Alexander Street) is primary text material and covers the 19th and 20th centuries. Users can explore this by specific Caribbean island or region.

Hospitality Menu Exhibit
From Professor Amit Mehrotra of Hospitality Menu Exhibit:
“The menus from the Menu Planning and Design course are now on display in the front showcase of Ursula C. Schwerin Library. The seven week course brought together students from hospitality and graphic arts to collaborate on the concept, design and development of “customer ready” menus. All of you are encouraged to view it anytime between now and first week of February and provide valuable feedback for enhanced instruction and execution for future sections.
Last spring we also created digital copies for each of the menu with the ultimate aim of keeping a repository for future instructional and academic purposes. A big thanks to John Akana for helping out with the planning and setup for this display.”
