  • Monthly Highlights from TBBC
    Monthly Highlights from TBBC January 2021 TALKING BOOK & BRAILLE CENTER A MESSAGE FROM THE NEW JERSEY STATE LIBRARIAN This will be my last newsletter message. I will be retiring on January 31st. Jennifer Nelson has been named as the next State Librarian. I have been reflecting on the past eight years. While I believe that the State Library has made many advances across the state, none has been as positive and fulfilling as the services to you, our TBBC patrons. You can go to public libraries in almost every county for help to download books and magazines. TBBC can now send multiple books on a single cartridge and TBBC is now piloting a Braille device that fits into the palm of your hand. Such advances are truly remarkable and will get better. So as I leave a job I love, I love that you can now get “any book, any time.” Take care and be safe. Thank you, Mary Mary L. Chute New Jersey State Librarian NEW JERSEY STATE LIBRARIAN – JENNIFER NELSON Thomas Edison State University (TESU) announced that Jennifer R. Nelson has been chosen to serve as the new State Librarian for the New Jersey State Library (NJSL), an affiliate of TESU. TESU President, Dr. Merodie A. Hancock, said “Jen has built a reputation as an active state and national leader in digital inclusion, equity and diversity programming, and technology and data innovation.” Jennifer Nelson currently serves as the director of Minnesota State Library Services, a division that administers Minnesota’s state and federal programs for libraries and the Minnesota Braille and Talking Book Library.

Peter Iver KAUFMAN Moreana Vol.47, 179-180 165-193 DIS-MANTELING MORE Peter Iver Kaufman University of Richmond, Virginia Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall, winner of the prestigious 2009 Booker-Man award for fiction, re-presents the 1520s and early 1530s from Thomas Cromwell’s perspective. Mantel mistakenly underscores Cromwell’s confessional neutrality and imagines his kindness as well as Thomas More’s alleged cruelty. The book recycles old and threadbare accusations that More himself answered. “Dis-Manteling” collects evidence for the accuracy of More’s answers and supplies alternative explanations for events and for More’s attitudes that Mantel packs into her accusations. Wolf Hall is admirably readable, although prejudicial. Perhaps it is fair for fiction to distort so ascertainably, yet I should think that historians will want to have a dissent on the record.

  • HILARY MANTEL's WOLF HALL Tudor İngiltere'sinin
    Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi Enstitüsü Bilimler Sosyal AN “OCCULT” HISTORY OF TUDOR ENGLAND: HILARY MANTEL’S WOLF HALL Tudor İngiltere’sinin “Esrarengiz” Tarihi: Hılary Mantel’in Wolf Hall Romanı Yrd. Doç. Kubilay GEÇİKLİ Özet Hilary Mantel’ın sansasyonel romanı Wolf Hall tarihsel roman türüne kazandırdığı farklı yaklaşımla dikkat çeken bir eserdir. Yazar Mantel romanında tarih ve tarihsel roman yazımıyla ilgili çağdaş algılayışlardan hem etkilenmiş hem de etkilenmemiş bir görüntü çizmektedir. Postmodern tarihsel romanın tarihsel gerçekliği sorgulama ve sorunsallaştırma girişimlerine kuşkuyla yaklaşan Mantel, romanındaki tarih anlatısının gerçeğe olabildiğince yaklaşması için çaba sarf etmiştir. Böylelikle okur anlatılan dönemde 77 gerçekten yaşamış gibi hissetme imtiyazına kavuşmuştur. Romanın ironik ve satirik üslubu ve mizahı trajik olanla ustaca birleştirmesi özde öznel olan bir türü nesnelliğe yaklaştırmıştır. Roman İngiliz tarihinin en görkemli ama aynı zamanda en tartışmalı devirlerinden biri olan Tudor döneminin gizemini çözme noktasında başarılı bir girişim olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Tarih, tarihsel roman, Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel, Tudor Dönemi Abstract Hilary Mantel’s sensational Wolf Hall is remarkable for the different perspective it has brought to the writing of historical fiction. Mantel seems to be both affected and not affected by the contemporary trends in the perceptions of history and historical novel writing. Sceptical of the attempts in postmodernist historical fiction to question and/or problematize the historical reality, Mantel wants to make the history she narrates in her novel seem as real as possible. With Mantel’s peculiar narrative style, the reader has the privilege of having the sense of living in the periods the novel describes. Yrd. Doç. Dr., Atatürk Üniversitesi, Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Kültürü ve Edebiyatı Anabilim Dalı Öğretim Üyesi.

Wu1 Academic libraries face numerous stressors as they seek to meet the needs of their users through technological advances while adhering to copyright laws. This paper seeks to explore one specific proposal to balance these interests, the impact of recent decisions on its viability, and the copyright challenges that remain after these decisions. The challenges facing academic law libraries are many, but the three primary ones are budget, demand, and misperceptions. Though actual means and medians of collection expenditures continue to grow,2 they have failed to keep pace with inflation rates,3 resulting in a net decrease in spending power over the last decade. On a different front, student and faculty appetites for multiple formats and interdisciplinary research sources continue to expand, placing greater strain on shrinking budgets.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

This article explores when people read by listening and whether there may be a shift regarding the places and times people read by listening rather than by seeing. Based on a considerable dataset from a Swedish subscription service for digital books, this article reveals that audiobook reading takes place at somewhat different times than expected and that subscribers read significant amounts each day. The findings indicate that the remediation into reading by listening using digital audiobooks may close the gender gap common in reading, as the reading practices of men and women are very similar, with men even reading slightly more than women. The reading practices of young adults are also similar to the larger population. Furthermore, the concepts stationary reading, mobile reading and stationary/mobile reading are introduced. Keywords Audiobooks, mobile reading, reading by listening, reading by seeing, remediation, stationary reading, stationary/mobile reading, streaming subscription service, temporality, timespace Introduction This article investigates changes of when and where reading takes place when it is performed by listening. In focus is an ongoing remediation of reading material as Corresponding author: Elisa Tattersall Wallin, Swedish School of Library and Information Science, University of Borås, Allégatan 1, 501 90 Borås, Sweden.

  • Celebrating 100 Years of Banned Books Tarleton State University Spent 2017 Celebrating the 100 Years As Founding Member of the Texas A&M University System
    Library Chronicles Tarleton Libraries | www.tarleton.edu/library Issue 8, 2017-2018 Celebrating 100 Years of Banned Books Tarleton State University spent 2017 celebrating the 100 years as founding member of The Texas A&M University System. When planning started for our annual Banned Books Week (September 24- October 1), the Centennial celebrations across campus inspired library staff to dig deeper into the history of banned and challenged books. Library members identified a banned or challenged title to represent each year between 1917 and 2017. These book titles were made into a graphic and printed on t-shirts to give away during Banned Books Week. The library didn’t want to stop with just t-shirts though. We also wanted to encourage others to share their favorite banned books and to emphasize the 2017 national theme of“ Our Right to Read.” This spawned our Banned Books Read-Out where students, staff, faculty, and community members from both Stephenville and Fort Worth campuses emphasized this uniquely American perspective by reading aloud selections from previously challenged or banned books. The response we received was inspiring. Forty-two people signed-up to read. Readers shared the reasons their selected books were banned or challenged, what the books meant to them, and read short passages, which resulted in three and a half hours of total Read-Out time. Throughout the event, anyone was welcome to pick up a snack and free t-shirt while learning about books that were banned or challenged. Our recorded readings were submitted to the American Library Association’s “Stand for the Banned and Virtual Read-Out” YouTube page.
