Textbook donations greatly appreciated

With the beginning of the fall 2010 semester fast approaching, the Stevens Library Committee would like to remind you of the library’s textbook collection and of how you can help make it useful to our students. This collection was started in spring 2009 with the goal of having at least one copy of each course textbook available in the library for students to use in-house. Currently, a number of professors supply copies of their course textbooks to this collection, and we are requesting that you donate extra copies of current textbooks or acceptable earlier editions of your course texts to this collection.

In recognition of your support of this effort, you will be given a receipt of the donation, and the library copy will be stamped as having been donated by you. If you would like more information about this initiative, or have any comments or concerns please contact Ourida Oubraham, the library director, at Ourida.Oubraham@stevens.edu or (201) 215-5411. She will also be happy to coordinate the collection of your books.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. The success of this program depends greatly on your contribution.

New green alternative to photocopying at the library

In an effort to further Stevens' efforts towards being a green campus, the library has a new, easy-to-use scanning station. Instead of photocopying, you can now scan book pages or documents, and then either save them to your usb drive or e-mail them directly from the console.

Writing & Communications Center Workshops

Starting tomorrow, the Writing & Communications Center will be offering free, weekly workshops open to the entire Stevens community. (See below for schedule and locations.) Just visit 210 Morton to sign up.


MAR 2: Delivering Effective Oral Presentations

Don’t ever let "the cat get your tongue" again! Attend this workshop to learn and practice tips for crafting and delivering effective oral presentations. The importance of non-verbal communication, eye-contact, vocal projection and modulation for grabbing and keeping your audience’s attention form the core of this workshop.
Tuesday, March 2; 4-5pm; Babbio Center; Room 304

MAR 9: Writing a Focused Essay for Your Humanities Courses
Ever wondered: How do you write an essay that stays on topic? How do you develop an idea without repeating the same few points? How do you avoid excessive plot summary? In this workshop, you'll learn strategies for finding the right focus and maintaining it throughout the essay - from your thesis statement to your topic sentences to your conclusion. You'll also learn how to select and integrate the right quotes for your topic, and what teachers really mean when they ask for "critical analysis" and a strong argument.
Tuesday, March 9; 4-5pm; Babbio Center; Room 304

MAR 10: Writing Resumes, Cover Letters, and Grad School Essays
Whether you're drafting a resume for the first time or revising a version you've had for years, this workshop will help you create a sophisticated and targeted resume and/or application packet. Topics covered will include overall format/design and key considerations for each document. Effective examples and templates will be provided.
Wednesday, March 10; 4-5pm; Babbio Center; Room 204

MAR 23: The Writing Process: How to Organize Your Thoughts
From time to time, everyone experiences "writer’s block" or has difficulty beginning the process of writing. This workshop presents techniques to prepare for academic writing, as well as the Stevens' English Competency Exam (SECE). Students interact throughout the modeling process, and then formulate their own thesis statements and paper outlines. Anyone who needs to sharpen their skills, from performing successfully in a testing situation to constructing a
dissertation, will benefit from this session.
Tuesday, March 23; 4-5pm; Babbio Center; Room 304

MAR 30: Writing Abstracts, Introductions, and Conclusions
Whether you're an undergraduate student working on a research paper or a graduate student preparing a thesis or an article for publication, this workshop will help you with key steps in your process - from the most essential information to include in an abstract, to introductions and conclusions, to strategies for organizing that information effectively. Templates and models will be provided.
Tuesday, March 30; 4-5pm; Babbio Center; Room 304

APR 6: Business English for ESL/ESOL Students
Do you ever wonder if your English skills will get you through a day in an American office without frustration? Come to this workshop and find out how people communicate in a real business setting. This interactive workshop is designed for native speakers of other languages who want to learn American Business English. Topics covered will include: making introductions, developing business relationships, giving presentations, and writing business documents, such as emails, letters and reports.
Tuesday, April 6; 4-5pm; Babbio Center; Room 304

APR 7: Citing & Summarizing Outside Sources for ESL/ESOL Students
Students new to the US are often confused by the strict rules guarding the use of "outside" information in their papers, and plagiarism - or using another's work without giving credit - is a serious offense. Therefore, to avoid this "unacceptable copying," students must be able to paraphrase, summarize, and correctly cite from written and spoken material. This workshop will help students learn these skills, which include note-taking techniques for both readings and lectures.
Wednesday, April 7; 4-5pm; Babbio Center; Room 204

APR 13: Pronunciation Workshop for ESL/ESOL Speakers - Part 1
If English is not your first language, pronunciation can be an obstacle to successful communication. This 2-part Pronunciation Workshop offers an opportunity to learn more about the sounds and rhythms of North American English. The focus is on muscle-building exercises, the connection between word and sentence stress, thought grouping and intonation patterns. You will also have the chance to practice your skills using tongue twisters, songs and dialogues.
Tuesday, April 13; 4-5pm; Babbio Center; Room 304

APR 20: Pronunciation Workshop for ESL/ESOL Speakers - Part 2
Even if you missed Part 1, you are welcome to attend the second part of this Pronunciation Workshop. As with the first part, the workshop's focus is on muscle-building exercises, the connection between word and sentence stress, thought grouping and intonation patterns. You will also have the chance to practice your skills using tongue twisters, songs and dialogues.
Tuesday, April 20; 4-5pm; Babbio Center; Room 304

English Conversation Groups: Improve your English conversation skills in a free and informal setting with native English speakers. No homework is assigned and students are welcome to visit any session.
Every Friday; 12-1pm; Morton 210

Literary Tuesdays: The aim of this series is to foster student creativity and analytical thinking through the appreciation of writing. The series is fundamentally designed to be collaborative, so students are welcome to select and suggest short readings for each week, and discuss their own creative writing during or after each meeting.
Every Tuesday; 12-1pm; Morton 210

NO HOMEWORK ASSIGNED - NO GRADES GIVEN
Please sign up for workshops in 210 Morton.
Space is limited!!

New InterLibrary Loan Policies

The InterLibrary Loan Department of the library is enacting the following new policies, effective immediately. For a listing of all the library's policies, see http://www.stevens.edu/library/about/policies.html.

Late books: Books should be returned by the due date on the ILL book slip. Returning books late jeopardizes our relationship with other lending institutions.

Students: If you do not return the book by the due date you will get 3 emails over a one-week period of time reminding you that your book is late. If the book is not returned by the date indicated in the 3rd email, your student account will be charged a $50 processing fee and a $150 lost book replacement fee. Also, you will be responsible for any late fees incurred from the lending library. If you return the book after the fees have been charged, your student account will be reimbursed the $150 replacement fee. Please be aware that you will not be reimbursed the $50 processing fee. If you are late with an ILL book more than 2 times without contacting us about it, you will lose your ILL privileges.

Books not picked up: ILL books will be at the circulation desk for one week after the arrival notification has been sent, and if they are not claimed during that week, they will be sent back to the lending library. Students will be charged $5 for each book that is not picked up

Recalled books: If a book is recalled by another university, you will be asked to return it to us right away. Since the book is not the property of our library we must abide by the rules of the lending library.

New e-books in Psychology and Ocean Sciences


The Stevens community may now access two major reference works online from Elsevier: the Encyclopedia of Applied Psychology and the Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences (2nd ed.).

The Encyclopedia of Applied Psychology (2004; electronic ed., 2008) encompasses applications of psychological knowledge and procedures in all areas of psychology. It is a major source of information for professional practitioners, researchers in psychology, and for anyone interested in applied psychology. The topics included are, but are not limited to, aging (geropsychology), assessment, clinical, cognitive, community, counseling, educational, environmental, family, industrial/organizational, health, school, sports, and transportation psychology. Each entry provides a clear definition of the topic, a brief review of theoretical basis relevant to the topic, and emphasizes major areas of application.

The second edition of the Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences (2008) contains more than 500 articles on the subject, with improved coverage of climate, remote sensing, and data modeling. Over 30% of the content is new or has been updated from the first edition.

Both of these resources may be accessed through either ScienceDirect or the library’s online catalog.
