Beth Lynn Interviewed on the Podcast

Beth Lynn Interview Friday, July 22, 2011

Beth Lynn, Collection Development Coordinator, at the Summar Libary graced us with her presence on this edition of The Summar Library Podcast. We asked Beth about her job, new resources that the library is providing, and her efforts to redecorate the library over the summer. 

Some of the new resources that we are providing are Biblical Archaeology Society Online, Films on Demand, Grove Music Online,  and Oxford Bibliographies Online. We also now have a host of new eBook collections including CHOICE’s 2010 Outstanding Book Collection and up to 3000 titles via Netlibrary’s new EBSCO platform. We also have the Encyclopedia of Social Work online now and host of new journals. 

Beth and others have been working hard to spruce up the library of the summer and you can read about it here. Thanks for listening to us and our podcast. Remember that The Emma Waters Summar Library is where “studying everyday could help you perform better academically”.

Legacy & Impact: Union Celebrates 400 years of the King James Bible

In the coming months Union will be preparing for a celebration, hosted by the Ryan Center, commemorating  400 years of The King James Bible. Professor Ray Van Neste and Brian Denker will be preparing for a conference in September to celebrate 400 years of The King James Bible. Over the course of the last year the library has been collecting materials on the KJV in preparation for this celebration.

So a few weeks ago, at the ATLA conference,  I attended a paper, "Celebrating 400 years of The King James Version." This paper was given by a librarian from Seminary of the South West in Austin, Texas and a librarian from Oxford was in attendance. At the paper I was given a bibliography of web and print resources and gave me the idea to create research guide putting King James Version resources all in one place. I used mainly the sources from the paper and those that Dr. Van Neste has provided. Find access to all of the KJV resources on this new research guide.
