Open Access Week builds on the momentum started by the student-led national day of action in 2007 and carried by the 120 campuses in 27 countries that celebrated Open Access Day in 2008. 2008 organizers SPARC(the Scholarly Publishing & Academic Resources Coalition), the PLoS (The Public Library of Science), and Students for FreeCulture welcome new key contributors for 2009: OASIS (the Open Access Scholarly Information Sourcebook); Open Access Directory (OAD); and eIFL.net (Electronic Information for Libraries), which will again spearhead events in developing and transitional countries.

issuelabStudents, if you are interested in further fun open access activities, IssueLab is sponsoring a Research Remix Contest.  Contestants will be asked to remix facts from one or more of the 300+ Creative Commons licensed reports on IssueLab with openly licensed video footage or openly licensed images and music. We prefer one minute pieces but will accept all submissions under three minutes. Entries are due by December 31st.  There are some very cool prizes, so check it out! Go to Research Remix Contest for complete details about rules, prized, and how to enter.

Thanks to everyone who participated in setting up the exhibit, and special thanks to our three ASU faculty, who joined us for a podcast to discuss open access issues and projects here at ASU!

Because of library subscriptions, you have access to most of the information you need. Once you graduate, however, the information is a little more difficult to gather. Whether you need access to information to do your job, or for personal reasons, Open Access is the answer.

In this video, Barbara Stebbins talks about the importance of having access to current scientific research in order to provide her middle school students with the best education.

toledo-cousins_smallThe largest, most comprehensive exhibition on the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II will be on display at the Labriola National American Indian Data Center, from October 19th to November 13th, 2009.

The Labriola Center will host a reception featuring two former Navajo Code Talkers and “Our Fathers, Our Grandfathers, Our Heroes…” book signing on Thursday November 5th from 4PM-6PM.

This exhibit traces the story of the famed United States Marine Corps Navajo Code Talkers. It begins with the original pilot group of first twenty-nine volunteers, who in 1942, developed and tested the original Navajo code. Proven fast and accurate, the Marine Corps recruited nearly 400 more Navajos who utilized the code sending and receiving encrypted messages throughout the Pacific island hopping campaign. The ingenuity of the Navajo Code Talkers baffled Japanese cryptographers and greatly helped in the effort to win the war in the Pacific.

This exhibit is a tribute to these men. Originally done as an oral history project by Wingate High School students, this exhibit speaks volumes of the pride young Navajos have for their heroes.

This traveling exhibit displays more than 33 historic photographs with text; facsimiles of original, military WW II documents; a c.1940 map of the Navajo Reservation; and the (now de-classified) Navajo Code itself.

In addition, the full-length documentary, “Navajo Code Talkers” produced by the Arts & Entertainment/History Channel will be running throughout open gallery hours for additional enrichment to the exhibition.

The Southwest Inaugural Tour 2007- 2010 of “Our Fathers, Our Grandfathers, Our Heroes…The Navajo Code Talker of World War II” has been made possible with grants from the New Mexico Humanities Council; PNM, and APS corporations; Arizona Humanities Council, and the Navajo Generating Station/Salt River Project, AZ.

This traveling exhibition is produced and circulated by the Circle of Light Navajo Educational Project, Gallup, New Mexico (505) 726-8030 or travelexhibits@yahoo.com.

Location:  Music Library, Tempe campus

Available: October 1 through November 30, 2009, during normal library hours

Description: In celebration of this year’s Native American Heritage Month (November, 2009) the ASU Music Library will be displaying sound recordings and cover art from the Canyon Records Collection. The exhibit also features poster art and other artifacts on loan from Canyon Records. Turned over to the Music Library by the Arizona Historical Foundation in 2004, the Canyon Records Collection contains over 450 sound recordings in a variety of formats – from 78 RPM records to compact discs.

Founded in 1951, by Ray and Mary Boley, Phoenix-based Canyon Records was the first company to market Native American music to the Indian people. The exhibit features their first commercial recording, Natay, Navajo Singer, which was released at the 1951 Arizona State Fair. The exhibit also showcases recordings by Native American flute virtuoso N. Carlos Nakai as well as recordings of the work of ASU professor and composer James DeMars, including his 2008 opera-oratorio Guadalupe: Our Lady of Roses.

The Music Library would like to thank Robert Doyle, President of Canyon Records, and Kathy Norris, Director of Promotions, for their assistance in the realization of the exhibit through their generous loan of Canyon Records artifacts. The library would also like to thank Dr. Richard Haefer of the School of Music for his loan of Native American musical instruments. The exhibit, created by Rodale Cooley, will be on display in the Music Library from October 1 through November 30, 2009.

This semi-annual lecture series is held through a partnership between the Heard Museum and Arizona State University.

The evening will begin with a reading by Silko from her forthcoming memoir, Turquoise Ledge, followed by an informal discussion with the audience.

Silko is best known for her universally-praised novel Ceremony, which was first published in 1977 to rave reviews. It continues to be the American Indian novel most often set on college and university syllabi, and is one of the few individual works by any Native author to have received book-length critical assessments. Ceremony’s message of healing and reconciliation between races and people resonates with both Native and non-Native readers to this day.

Silko has won prizes, fellowships, and grants from such sources as the National Endowment for the Arts and The Boston Globe. She was the youngest writer to be included in The Norton Anthology of Women’s Literature for her short story “Lullaby.” In 1981 she won a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Grant. Silko has continued to be a force in American Indian literature in both the fiction and non-fiction genres.

The lecture series is sponsored by the Heard Museum and Arizona State University’s American Indian Studies Program, Department of English, Department of History, Labriola Center and Women and Gender Studies Program.

It punctuates our connectedness and need for quick access to information that we can apply to the multiple roles we play. Information needs arise from our multiple roles as global citizen, scholar, researcher, teacher, student, co-worker, neighbor, caregiver, and potential flu patient.

Responding to this need, ASU health sciences librarians developed an information page on H1N1 Flu providing quick access to the most updated and authoritative information. The H1N1 Flu LibGuide is found online at http://libguides.asu.edu/h1n1flu

Location: Downtown Phoenix campus Library

Available: Through October 30 2009, during normal library hours

About the Artitsts:

Annie Waters , September 2009 — My present work is all about color and line. I am intrigued with the cast off, the thrown away object, the imperfect and broken, the blighted leaf, the discarded silk flower. The work in this exhibition was done over the past year. During this time I have been concentrating on drawing, working primarily with prismacolor pencil, wax china marker pencil and oil pastel on paper prepared with images manipulated with commercial photocopiers.

Annie has a BFA in Painting and Drawing from Auburn University and a MFA in Painting and Drawing from Arizona State University. She is represented in corporate and private collections in Arizona, California, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama. She maintains a studio on 1st Avenue in downtown Phoenix.

See more of Annie’s work at anniewaters.com

Jerry Jacobson is a painter presently living and working in Tempe, AZ. He received a BFA in printmaking from North Texas State University (now UNT) in Denton, TX. His work has been shown in local and national exhibitions including the Arizona Biennial and Texas National. Jacobson was a recipient of a Contemporary Forum Artists Material Grant in 1998.

Location: Fletcher Library, Third Floor Glass Display

Available: Through December 2009, during normal library hours

This small show will be presented in three parts:
September 15th – October 14th Hispanic Heritage Fans
October 15th – November 14th American World Fair Fans
November 15th – December 14th International Exhibition Fans

All fans are displayed by kind permission of Ms. Marjorie Moote and friends.

Scepters of Feminine Beauty to the Ancient Greeks, deflectors of negative chi for the Ancient Chinese, the likelihood of fans having been used since the dawn of humanity is very strong. Fans waving cool breezes against the heat of the day, wafting fires into flame, distracting insects, instruments of the complex language of love in theatre and life, in gamesmanship, and even in warfare, many societies have turned to the hand fan for a variety of uses.

Silks, fine linens, peacock feathers, leaves, paper, exotic woods and animal shells, vinyl and plastics, fan materials might provide an interesting and varied research topic in itself. Tutankhamen’s tomb included fans embossed with precious metals and gems indicating the symbolic majesty and authority of Egypt. From the Oriental silks used by the Greeks before Christian times, to the vellum and stiff cloth of Middle Age church fans, materials expressed the times, values and uses of the deceptively simple fan.

The mechanical operation of hand held fans has a complex history, too. Closed or open, showing the back or front, covering the face, or mouth, or used to indicate pushing or pulling, the language of fan operation is also complex and evocative. True folding fans were most likely first seen in the Western World in Italy, imported from the Far East by Venetian traders. Metal contraptions were used generations ago by warriors in the East, but versions were still in use in military engagements last century. Simple, sometimes non-folding, fans have often been used to advertise products, events and exhibitions, and the fan has become a design element in itself, in three-dimensional architecture, landscape, and two-dimensional visual arts. The period of the sixteenth century French court provides many examples. Louis XIV courtiers would never experience a day without fans as an essential accessory and fashionable accoutrement.

Fans have often been used as gifts, especially to monarchs. Queen Elizabeth I was an avid fan, of fans. Her collection was probably large and fabulous, and apparently dominant. The etiquette of fan language dictated that fans must remain closed in the presence of the monarch, which led to the guard sticks (the ends of the fan) becoming more and more elaborately decorated, perhaps to determine individual status.

The hand fan is a complex and beautiful artistic tool.

Goldwater.

In this episode Fred McIlvain talks with Arizona Historical Foundation archivists Linda Whitaker, Susan Irvin and Rebekah Tabah on the debut of the Personal and Political Papers of Senator Barry M. Goldwater after 5 years of heavy lifting (literally and figuratively) processing the collection.

When Barry Goldwater founded the Arizona Historical Foundation nearly 50 years ago, the last thing he would have expected is to find his papers in disarray. It is the ultimate irony, that a man who saved everything for posterity, would leave a collection requiring tough interventions so that it could be fully processed and cataloged. For all practical purposes this collection had remained largely unprocessed and hidden confounding researchers worldwide.

LibGuides are resources handpicked by our subject librarians covering a wide variety of subjects and courses taught at Arizona State University.  Because they list only the best items for your subject, they can save you lots of time sorting by getting you right to what you need.  They also provide quick contact information for the subject librarian for each one — so you can quickly get help from an expert in that area.
