Fielder's Gloves -- The Dave Cunningham Collection

Join us tonight from 6 -- 7:30 PM in the gallery at OCC on the 2nd floor near the library to see Dave Cunningham's "Dream Collection" of fielder's gloves. He has some beauties!

He will speak at 6:30 PM about some of his more unusual gloves. Bring your ball gloves with you to see where they fit in the development of baseball gloves.

Qwidget Ready

Use the Qwidget on the main library page to ask questions quickly. It works like AIM or Meebo (instant messaging) and connects to an academic librarian. If no one is on duty, you will be directed to the 24/7 AskAway chat service for assistance. Give it a try and tell us what you think about it.

New Exhibit

Russ Jausel has loaned us some of his prize lanterns from his personal collection to display in the gallery. Comet, Skater’s, Dietz Scout/Sports and Bicycle Head lanterns are small ones on display. Then we have a Triangular Lantern (1887-1910), Beacon Lantern (1913 – 1930), Tubular Square Lantern (1888-1894), Defiance Perfect Lantern (1914–1930), Junior Inspector’s (1914–1924), and a Non-Sweating Adlake Lamp (1879-1923).

Saying that this collection is a fabulous one is an understatement. Come see.

Better yet, get Russ to come with you and talk about them.

New Tools for Allied Health Students

Cinahl Plus with Full Text is a large database that has authoritative articles from 620+ reputable journals. It also has Evidence-Based Care Sheets, Quick Lessons, Research Instruments, Continuing Education Unit aids, and search strategy information.


SMART Imagebase or Scientific Medical Arts Imagebase is a collection of 13,000 illustrations and animations depicting anatomy, physiology, surgery, diseases, conditions, trauma, embryology, histology, and other health science topics. There are Reference Monographs on a variety of topics also and the site is organized for easy access.
