Seeking ambassadors for the library

Uncategorized

We are looking for student ambassadors, who can advise the library on collections, services and promotions, and help the library communicate with other students and alumni. Spaces are limited to 10 students from each major field of study. We have enough participants from architecture and interior architecture, but are still looking for students in other majors.  Consider joining if you are looking for opportunities to:

· Serve as a student leader.

· Make library services more student-centered.

· Help the librarian develop the library’s print and online collections.

· Build your resume.

· Network with other students and alumni.

· Help your fellow students find and access information needed for their research.

The ambassadors will work with the library staff to develop activities and a schedule for the academic year. We anticipate no more than one meeting a month or less, under normal circumstances.

If you are interested in serving on the first Student Ambassador Board, please contact me at cwessinger@uh.edu by Thursday, October 31st. Please include the following information in your message:

Josef Albers’ Interaction of Color on display

Uncategorized

The Jenkins Library’s copy of Interaction of Color will be on display through the academic year.  Originally published by Yale University Press in 1963 as a limited silkscreen edition with 150 sizable color plates, Josef Albers’s Interaction of Color is a masterwork in art education.  Conceived as a handbook and teaching aid for artists, instructors, and students, this influential book presents Albers’s singular explanation of complex color theory principles.  Each of Albers’ lessons will be exhibited on the upper mezzanine floor for a week.  Come to the library regularly to see the plates as he intended them.  Reprinted editions may be borrowed from our general collection.
