Art Installation - "Seven: The Sky Above"

Amy Fill, University Art Galleries Exhibitions Preparator and Collections Curator has assembled a site specific installation on the wall between the 2nd and 3rd floor at the south side of the stair case in the University Libraries. Fill used pages from withdrawn books from the Libraries to create a Stratocumulus cloud (according to Luke Howard's 1802 "Essay on the Modification of Clouds").

Fill is a member of The Cloud Appreciation Society and documented this installation to submit to the Society's website. http://cloudappreciationsociety.org/amy-fill/ (finished work: http://cloudappsoc.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/finished-cloud-image.jpg)

New Database: Philosopher's Index

It is linked from the library site (www.usd.edu/library) from the databases tab.

It is a current and comprehensive bibliographic database covering scholarly research in all major fields of philosophy. The Philosopher’s Index, considered the most thorough index of journal literature on the subject, features author-written abstracts covering scholarly research published in journals and books, including contributions to anthologies and book reviews.
