In recognition of the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, a display featuring images of Lincoln gathered chiefly from SU Library materials is presently on view on the 4th floor of Bird Library. This display briefly examines some of the more familiar and affecting images of Lincoln created by painters, sculptors, printmakers, and photographers during the past two centuries, including works by Mathew Brady, James Earle Fraser, Gutzon Borglum, and Anna Hyatt Huntington.

Publish AND perish?: Exploring scholarly publication practices in a shifting communications landscape.
The Research, Collections and Scholarly Communications Unit of Syracuse University Library will present a brown bag seminar at noon on Monday, October 19, in support of International Open Access Week. Drop by the Peter Graham Scholarly Commons in Bird Library and be part of a discussion with campus peers on new models for getting your academic work seen and read. The session will include discussion of the risks and costs associated with traditional scholarly publishing. Can open access journals, online publication repositories and the like offer you more flexible publishing opportunities -- and provide greater impact at the same time? How does more conventional publishing interact with the rapidly changing online social network technologies embraced by your students? When you license your publications, do you find the licensing agreement to be a solution or a straitjacket? And how do you tell one from the other?
Beverages and snacks will be provided; feel free to bring your own lunch.
