But in the middle of the book we come across accounts of two murders and a riot linked to the ris- ing populist, nativist, anti-immigrant feelings that were then spreading across the United States. The influx of the Irish and the Germans in the 1850s gave rise to the “Know-Nothing” political party. Many cities, such as San Francisco, set up vigilance committees to fight the political control of Irish and German immigrants. New York, with half of its voting rolls populated by naturalized immigrants, formed the American Party (Know-Nothings), which advocated an exclusionary model to make it difficult if not impossible for foreigners, espe- cially the Irish, to become naturalized citizens. Their platform included setting a long residency requirement (21 years), See the title page on the cover of this newsletter. deporting immigrant paupers and crim- Call number: Spec. Coll.

  • Classified Information the Newsletter of the Lloyd Sealy Library Fall 2015
    lloyd sealy library Classified Information The Newsletter of the Lloyd Sealy Library Fall 2015 From the Desk of the Chief Librarian Law codes, both penal and civil, rarely make for exciting reading. Just think of spending a pleasant evening brows- ing through the over 13,000-page Internal Revenue Service regulations (Title 26 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations). In France, however, which perhaps is more bureaucratic than the United States, the artist Joseph Hé- mard (1880-1961), a well-known French book illustrator, decided to satirize a number of French statutes through his amusing, mildly erotic drawings. In his work, Hémard used the pochoir (stencil) technique, which is a hand-col- ored illustration process that began in the 15th century for playing cards and the occasional woodcut. Having fallen out of use for centuries, the French revived the technique in the late 19th century. The handwork that produces the brilliantly colored illustrations is very costly and rarely used in the book printing process. The Sealy Library was fortunate to obtain two rare edi- tions of these works: Code Pénal (late 1920s) and Code Civil: Livre Premier, Des Personnes.... (1925). The latter pokes fun at a number of laws including divorce, pater- nity, adoption, and paternal authority (e.g., Article 371), which states, “The infant at any age must honor and re- spect his mother and father.” Article 378 mandates that the father alone exercises authority over the child during the marriage and until the child reaches his or her major- ity (18 years). The illustrations comically make such regu- lations clear and accessible to the reader.

  • Developing Sustainable International Library Exchange Programs: the CUNY-Shanghai Library Faculty Exchange Model Sheau-Yueh]
    Developing Sustainable International Library Exchange Programs: The CUNY-Shanghai Library Faculty Exchange Model Sheau-yueh]. Chao, Beth Evans, Ryan Phillips, Mark Aaron Polger, Beth Posner, and Ellen Sexton Abstract This paper describes the City University of New York ( CUNY)-Shanghai Librarian Faculty Exchange Program. By observing and working in academic library services at CUNY, Shanghai University (SU), and Shanghai Normal University (SNU), participants were able to teach and learn from their colleagues, bringing their experiences back to further share with their home library patrons, colleagues, and colleges. Information is a global commodity in an increasingly interconnected world. There is a long positive tradition of student study abroad and faculty fellowships around the world. The role of librarians in connecting people and information - no matter its provenance or location -is also one that naturally complements international exchanges. Just as students and faculty can benefit from exposure to life, culture, language, etc., through residencies at educational institutions in other countries, so too can librarians. A nationwide trend of diversity and inclusion in teaching over the past fifteen years, combined with technological advancements in academia, has changed the role of librarians in academic libraries. There is increased pressure on library administrators and academic librarians to promote successful outreach and exchange programs that engage librarians in teaching and learning in the global environment (Dennis 2012). Many colleges and universities across the nation have emerged to emphasize at least one primary function within the library and reach the users in broad and diverse ways. The valuable experiences of participants in terms of professional development and personal confidence are not inconsequential.
