Library 2nd Floor: Juvenile Collection


It's that time again! For the remainder of the summer we will be moving juvenile books within the stacks on the second floor. Working from the end of the collection to the beginning, an additional four sections will be allotted to juvenile books. This means more room on the shelf, an easier time locating and returning books to the stacks, and opportunity to grow the collection. During this time there will be large gaps in the stacks and the above sign placed in the empty sections. At any time, just move several sections to your right and the remainder of the collection will be at your fingertips.

As always, please feel free to ask for help locating titles in the juvenile collection. Thanks for your patience!

IRC Blog: 4 Year Anniversary


Four years ago today the first blog post was published on the IRC Blog:


The New IRC Collection Blog

"Welcome to the Instructional Resource Center Collection Blog! Beginning with the fall 2005 academic school year, this blog will replace the yearly book lists published on the IRC web page. Items, both circulating and reference, will be entered as they are cataloged and available for use. Each entry will have an accompanying heading, specific to the genre. Please note that anyone with a specific book request will continued to be personally notified via email when the books arrive." -- June 10, 2005

Since that time there have been posts highlighting additions to the IRC collection, juvenile collection, education and general AU library circulating collection, IRC updates and news, as well as a variety of informational entries. The numbers are somewhat staggering:

  • 2005: 127 posts
  • 2006: 290 posts
  • 2007: 274 posts
  • 2008: 397 posts
  • Total = 1088

So far this year (including this post) ...

  • 2009: 147 posts

Thank you for your continued interest in this project!

2009 Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards

The 2009 Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards were announced June 2, 2009. "Presented annually since 1967, the Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards reward excellence in children’s and young adult literature and are given in three categories: Fiction and Poetry, Nonfiction, and Picture Book."

All three of the winning authors are widely renowned. Mr. Pratchett, perhaps best known for his raucous comic fantasies for children and adults, displays a philosophical bent with Nation, a young adult novel about two nineteenth-century children who create a new society from the ground up. Candace Fleming’s dual biography of the President and Mrs. Lincoln employs the intricate scrapbook format that distinguished her earlier Ben Franklin’s Almanac and Our Eleanor. Margaret Mahy, winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award and a two-time recipient of Boston Globe–Horn Book Award honor book citations, has written scores of novels, easy readers, and picture books. Bubble Trouble, a tongue-twisting tale about an airborne baby, marks the New Zealander’s second collaboration with English illustrator Polly Dunbar.

Fiction and Poetry Winner:

Nation
Terry Pratchett
PZ7.P8865 Nat 2008

Nonfiction Winner:

The Lincolns: A Scrapbook Look at
Abraham and Mary
Candace Fleming
E457.905 .F58 2008

The Kingdom on the Waves
M.T. Anderson
PZ7.A54395 Asu 2008

The Graveyard Book
