New Equipment at the Jefferson Library
The library at the Jefferson Campus has received three
pieces of equipment. The first new
addition to the Library is a PHIL (Payment Headquarters in Location). The PHIL
is a device that allows students to put money on their ID cards for printing
and making copies. The PHIL Station at the Jefferson campus takes only credit
or debit cards. A cash deposit is not an option at this location.
The second piece of equipment is a copy machine. The copy machine will be ready for the
students to use soon, hopefully by the end of the semester. Currently the machine is waiting on the
arrival of a part that needs to be placed on the machine’s card reader.
The final piece of equipment is a bulletin board, while
decidedly low- tech it is still effective.
The bulletin board will have a different display every month
highlighting the different programs available at the Jefferson campus.
This month’s bulletin board features the Vet Tech program. For more information, visit the Vet Tech Program's website and our Veterinary Medicine research guide:

Spotlight on Early Childhood Education
During November, our display boards will focus on Delgado’s Early Childhood Education program. In conjunction, we’ve created an ECE libguide to allow you to see what helpful resources are available. It has links to books, ebooks, databases, and websites to help you in the classroom, whether you’re the student or the teacher.

The Toil of May
prepared by Jude Morrissey
For our monthly display, we are featuring "The Toil of May." Labor in the U.S. used to be highly deregulated and workers had few, if any, rights. The climb up to eight hour work days, labor unions, workers' rights advocacy, safety regulation of workplaces, and government aid for the unemployed has been a long and complicated one. This month, we have two displays to explore times when labor demonstrations and discussions regarding working hours and conditions were particularly controversial.
The glass case display at the City Park campus highlights the work of John Steinbeck, particularly the 1940 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Grapes of Wrath - a work that has often been challenged or banned across the country. Set during the Great Depression, it traces the Joad family, tenant farmers who are forced to abandon their home in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl and set out for California, hoping to find a new life. The story discusses the poverty and prejudice many workers fleeing the great drought encountered as they moved west.
The hall display takes a look at the Haymarket Riot of 1886, when a peaceful labor demonstration in Chicago, supporting eight hour working days, erupted in violence. Some were killed, and many were wounded. Eight anarchists were found guilty of the bombing, although there remains a great deal of controversy over whether or not they were actually involved. In our display, you can see arguments on both sides of the issue, courtesy of Opposing Viewpoints.
