University Library E-News
An event like no other.
The Oviatt Library is partnering with Gender and Women’s Studies, Queer Studies and The Pride Center to create a week-long series of lectures and presentations titled Sex in the Library: Scholarship, Exploration, and Intersectionality in the Archives.
Everyone who produces or uses digital media and research is touched by copyright law. Although the subject sometimes provokes apprehension in both faculty and students, our upcoming workshop will help to alleviate much of that scholarly anxiety.
Copyright concerns and fair use best practices will be front and center at the upcoming workshop, Copyright Advance: Evolving Perspectives for Empowered Scholars coordinated by the Oviatt Library Copyright Team and CSUN Faculty Development. The workshop is bringing noted pioneers in the field of copyright and fair use to campus, and is geared toward faculty at CSUN.
The Oviatt Library is proud to highlight the contributions and activities of the Bonita J. Campbell Endowment for Women in Science and Engineering (WISE), which have enriched the Library, individuals across campus, and the larger community. WISE was established in 2009 by Professor Emerita Bonita J. Campbell, with a mission “To encourage women to build careers in the fields of science and engineering; to advance in their careers; to preserve the story of women who have pioneered in the science and engineering disciplines; and to inform leaders and educators about the contribution that women make in these important fields.”
What would be the result if you combined a highly skilled web programmer and a uniquely gifted poet? Our guess would be the Library’s very own multi-talented David Morck of course.
Long before considering a college career, David Morck already had developed a keen interest in technology and deep appreciation of language. David was born in Pasadena, California and raised in a household with a father who was an engineer and a mother who held advanced degrees in both English and psychology, so David had the importance of education instilled in him very early.
The Oviatt Library has been engaged in productive partnerships for many years. Last fall we joined together with CSUN’s Division of Information Technology to create a special IT Help Desk in the new Learning Commons. We also opened up a space in the Library building for the Learning Resource Center (LRC) to facilitate campus tutoring services and to prepare for future collaborative initiatives between the Library and the LRC. We even partnered with the CSUN University Corporation to build a coffee house in the lobby of the Library, a highly successful cooperative venture t
