Silent Witness Initiative

The Department of Political Science is sponsoring Silent Witness Initiative in I.D. Weeks Library during Oct. 8 - 15. 

In 1990, the Silent Witness Initiative began promoting and education to support an end to domestic violence through community based exhibits.  It started with a small group of volunteers in one state and grew into an international presence, with projects in all 50 states and 23 countries.

Silent Witness provides hope, help and healing for the victims and violators of domestic violence. Our goal is to eliminate domestic violence homicides by 2020.

Thousands of men and women die each year in acts of domestic violence in the United States.  Each one has a story.  Join our efforts to end this tragedy.

Graduate Assistant Profile - Vrinda Pareek

Name: Vrinda Pareek

Area of Study: Computer Science – M.S.

Library Department: Technology

Bio: I am a computer science graduate from India. Coding, UI designing, painting and gardening interests me.

Library projects you are working on: LibGuides, USD RED

What do you like about working for the library, what is interesting about your project/job? The things I like the most is the energy brought in by the people coming from diverse backgrounds and the type of work I do which involves web administration and other software related activities.

Graduate Assistant Profile - Sarah Hamner

Name: Sarah Hamner
Area of Study: Master of Public Administration

Library Department: Archives and Special Collections

Bio: I grew up in South Jersey, and got my undergraduate degree in Agricultural Leadership from SDSU. I worked for South Dakota 4-H for about six months before deciding to come back to school full time rather than online, and switching directions from agriculture to administration. This is my second year in the program. My bookshelves at home are overflowing, so in my spare time I try and get through the books I bought and haven't found time to read yet.  I'm also working on family history research for my own curiosity- leading to many of the unread books at home.

Library projects you are working on:
I'll be primarily working with government documents this semester, focusing on Jim Abourezk's papers. I don't know too much about South Dakota politics, being from so far away and then being so deeply involved in the 4-H and Ag world for my first four and a half years here. Working with these papers is already really interesting, and continuing with these is going to make for a great semester. Next semester will be a continuation of Abourezk, adding a project with a South Dakota writer from West River and her collection.

What do you like about working for the library, what is interesting about your project/job?
I'm really enjoying working here because I was split in my decision for a graduate degree when searching, one being PA and one being library sciences or archives, so it's great to see what kind of work I would have been exposed to had I taken the other route. It feels like I'm able to get a little bit of both things, so that's very satisfying. I'm also enjoying just looking for something in the stacks and being around all the older and rare things in the Archives.

Research Gateway - Update Link

The “Research Gateway” (databases list) is being decommissioned.  https://apps.usd.edu/campus/library/research/

Please update your book marks to our new A-Z Databases listing (LibGuides). http://libguides.usd.edu/az.php?

New Database - US Newsstream

US Newsstream, from ProQuest, is now available online through the South Dakota State Library.

This includes same-day publication access to over 250 news titles, and draws from over 1000 separate sources. It also contains trade journals, websites, newswires, television and radio transcripts, blogs, and podcasts. Users can read current U.S. news content, as well as archives stretching back into the 1980s.

US Newsstream contains full-text articles.  What type of articles and other information is included?
According to ProQuest, articles that are generally considered newsworthy are included. However, not everything that’s within the original publication is on the database. The editors determine what is considered a “news” item. Typically book reviews are not included, obituaries maybe. Sometimes a paper may not have electronic distribution rights for an article. No ads, no weather page. This is what is typical, but you can find many exceptions.  Articles typically needed for research purposes are included.

ProQuest does not provide a LibGuide specific to US Newsstream.  Information is contained in the Global Newsstream LibGuide at https://proquest.libguides.com/newsstream


US Newsstream is replacing US Major Dailies.   US Newsstream is provided by a combination of funding from the South Dakota State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

EBSCO ebooks Mobile App retired

EBSCO has retired the electronic resource EBSCO eBooks Mobile App.

For those who want to continue with an app experience, EBSCO eBooks are compatible with the Bluefire Reader or any other app supported by Adobe Digital Editions.

EBSCO’s reasoning for retiring the app was the following: “With EPUB files becoming increasingly advanced, EBSCO has invested in this format to provide a robust online and mobile experience. EPUB allows for reflowable text, display modification and increased compatibility with screen readers, so we are confident that the future of EPUB will provide the best user experience for our customers and your users. Since the current EBSCO eBooks app is not compatible with this advanced functionality, we have decided to re-evaluate our mobile offering.”

Please visit EBSCO’s How can I download and read eBooks on my mobile device? for assistance on reading EBSCO eBooks on mobile devices, including Bluefire Reader.

For more information, also see: What happened to the EBSCO eBook mobile app?

What We Were Wearing

“What We Were Wearing” opens on April 3 on the second-floor gallery of I.D. Weeks Library and features stories collected from individuals who are part of the USD community and have been sexually assaulted at some point in their past. Selections from 13 narratives are accompanied by clothing similar to those worn by the victim of the sexual violence. Artwork by members of the USD Student Art Alliance interprets three additional stories. These narratives join others to make up a total of 22 stories of sexual assault compiled in a bound book.

The exhibit is sponsored by USD’s I CARE grant, which produces programming aimed at sexual assault prevention in the campus community, Promoting Awareness/Victim Empowerment (PAVE) USD, a student group that fosters awareness of sexual violence and the empowerment of victims, and the USD College of Arts & Sciences’ Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies Program.

The University of Arkansas displayed the first “What Were You Wearing” exhibit in 2013, which then traveled to other universities in the Midwest. The exhibit in I.D. Weeks Library features stories from members of USD’s community of students, faculty members and staff and will run through the month of April.

Human Library Books - April 28

Spring 2018 Book Titles and Descriptions 

Don’t Judge a Muslim Woman by Her Cover
(Asli)
Muslim women face multiple stereotypes daily. Such as the idea that they are all covered in modest clothing, or they are oppressed, not educated, weak, or a symbol of threat. People are afraid of what they don’t know. As a Muslim woman, I think that the dominant image of Muslim women in the western world does not represent me and my Muslim community. Please come meet me and ask me any questions.

I Don’t Catch Babies
(Donna)
What does a Doula do? How is a Doula different from a midwife? There are many misconceptions about Doulas and what we do. Come talk with me about this misunderstood vocation.

Experiencing Diversity
(Gabriel)
Being raised in a Catholic and Orthodox Jewish household by parents of different nationalities exposed me to diversity at a young age. I began to recognize this when I joined the military and we all needed to work together – regardless of our differences. Come ask me questions to learn how I use diversity to benefit our community.

The Shadow Proves the Sunshine: Mental Illness, Abuse Recovery
(Heather)
What is it like to have illnesses that no one can see? How do they impact growing up in a rural community where mental illness is regarded as weakness? How can someone remain hopeful after years of abuse? This book holds answers and a tale you won’t easily forget.

Recovering Drug Addict
(Heidi)
For years I turned to drugs to escape reality. Which drug it was didn’t matter to me—as long as I could have the escape. Drug to drug, my life was centered on finding the next high, but living many lows…  I am grateful to be living today as a recovering drug addict, rather than dying from drug use. I look forward to sharing some of my experiences as I answer your questions.

The Mind of a Cop
(Jon)
Being a police officer is one of the toughest occupations around the world. However, it can also be one of the most life-changing, as every day that I spend wearing that uniform I see the worst society has to offer and sometimes the best. What do you see and think when you notice a police officer? You see a uniform, a badge, a gun? You may think, “Will he pull me over?” “Does he need to make his quota?” “Will I get shot?” Police officers are just as human as everyone else. We are fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers. So many stereotypes and perceptions are out there about law enforcement officers and how we work or what we think. Take this opportunity to sit down and learn what goes on in the mind of a cop. Just don’t forget the doughnuts.

A Nation’s Scapegoat: The American Teacher
(Martha)
No Child Left Behind. Teacher accountability. Standardized testing. Differentiation. More testing. Failing schools. English Language Leaners. More testing. Legislation. World rankings. More testing.
As an educator for 20 years, Martha has faced being one of the scapegoats. She has experience teaching in different parts of the country, as well as in Catholic and public schools. Are there differences? Many assume that there is an education crisis. Is there really? Are teachers doing enough? Come visit with Martha. She looks forward to an insightful conversation as she answers your questions.

Experiencing Education in Two Countries
(Nikul)
Being an international student at a university in the United States is quite different than being a student at home in India. For example, I needed to complete an undergraduate degree within four years, and math must be computed without a calculator in India. There are many differences I would like to share. I welcome your questions!

Dissenting and Conforming
(Phil)
Come meet this book who went from protesting the war in Iraq to serving in the U.S. Navy eight years later. He thought he would be an odd duck entering the service at 33 years old, but discovered everyone has their own unique story for why they serve. He welcomes your questions.

Change of Perspective
(Vinay)
A new culture is an instant opportunity to learn because it gives you a paradigm shift and sometimes what you believe to be wrong is perfectly acceptable to do in some parts of the world. I discovered this when I moved to the United States from India to complete my masters in Computer Science. We should stop being judgmental and embrace the fact that the world is such a beautiful, diverse place to live in and the best thing to do is experience all the things that come along your way.

The Complete Prose of T. S. Eliot: The Critical Edition gathers for the first time in one place the collected, uncollected, and unpublished prose of one of the most prolific writers of the twentieth century. The result of a multi-year collaboration among Eliot's Estate, Faber and Faber Ltd., Johns Hopkins University Press, the Beck Digital Center of Emory University, and the Institute of English Studies, University of London, this eight-volume critical edition dramatically expands access to material that has been restricted or inaccessible in private and institutional collections for almost fifty years.

New Library Phone Numbers

In January 2018, the library will be transitioning from our current analog phone system to a digital phone system—Voice over IP (VoIP).

During January, the current analog phone system will remain available. 

Phone numbers for the Circulation Desk and Inter library Loan have not changed.  

Phone numbers on the Library website have been updated.

A listing of updated staff phone numbers can be found at http://www.usd.edu/library/staff
