AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY: IS HISTORY A USEFUL GUIDE?
It’s been said that those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it but too often leaders who act with history in mind nevertheless repeat it to their disadvantage. This talk will explore how history can be useful, even essential, to understanding the present, while also stressing that knowledge of the past is not enough; it must be supplemented by other approaches.

LOCATION/TIME: Brennan Hall, Rose Room 509, Noon to 1:30 p.m.

Graduation seemed far-off when Kristen Thomas began working in the Weinberg Memorial Library’s Media Resources Department 3 ½ years ago, but now it’s right around the corner, and the Library would like to recognize Kristen’s hard work and commitment.
Kristen, a Moosic native and Counseling and Human Services major, has worked year-round in the Library and has lent her organizational and creative skills to many projects such as an inventory of EdLab books and Media materials, and preparing for last year’s Media Resources’ Open House. She is an enthusiastic worker whose favorite perks of the job are talking with faculty outside of the classroom and previewing the latest films.
Outside of her studies, Kristen has been a member of Urban Beats Crew, and completed two internships in school counseling and has two additional part-time jobs! Her favorite book and movie are “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.”
Kristen feels that the Library staff is very helpful and her advice for students is to ask a librarian when they need help because the librarian will guide them in the right direction. She advises students to utilize the online resources too.
When her studies are completed, Kristen plans to work as a school counselor.
Thank you, Kristen, and best wishes for the future!
On behalf of the Weinberg Memorial Library and the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence, we invite University of Scranton faculty and staff to the first of our Spring 2015 Technology On Your Own Terms (TOYOT) workshops.
Your Digital Afterlife
Tuesday, February 17, 2015 – 12:00 – 1:00pm in WML 305
Presenter: Bonnie Oldham, Information Literacy Coordinator
“When Facebook, Flickr and Twitter are your estate, what’s your legacy?” People may have made plans for what happens to their physical belongings after they die, but what about all that digital content they’ve created? Do you have a plan? This session will discuss these issues raised by Evan Carroll and John Romano in their book, Your Digital Afterlife. A light lunch will be provided.
This session is open to all University faculty and staff, but seats are limited, so please let us know you are coming. You can register at www.scranton.edu/ctleregistration – under Technology on Your Own Terms.
The winter prediction is no surprise, but the library is open today until 4pm.

Changes were recently made in how print jobs are handled at the library.
When printing from a library computer you no longer need to name and password each job. The new process ties your print job to the RNumber used to log onto the computer. To print, log onto the Pharos UniPrint station using the same RNumber/password you used to access the computer, swipe your Royal Card, and print. You will now see only the jobs you sent from your RNumber, not anyone else’s. PLEASE NOTE: IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU LOG ON AND OFF LIBRARY COMPUTERS BECAUSE ALL PRINT JOBS ARE TIED TO RNUMBER.
You can now print from mobile devices to the library printers! Simply email your document to uniprint@scranton.edu from your @scranton.edu email address. Once you get a confirmation, go to any library Pharos UniPrint station. Enter your RNumber and email password, swipe your Royal Card, and print. If you need a color copy, you must print from a library computer, not a mobile device.
The Scannx scanners will not send jobs directly to the printer. If you need a paper copy, choose the email option and send the scan to your @scranton.edu email address. Then email your document to uniprint@scranton.edu from any computer or mobile device.
If you installed the Uniprint pop-up client/driver on your personal computer to allow printing, it will no longer work. Now simply email your document to uniprint@scranton.edu from your @scranton.edu email address. Once you get a confirmation, go to any library Pharos UniPrint station. Enter your RNumber and email password, swipe your Royal Card, and print. If you need a color copy, you must print from a library computer, not your own.
We hope that the availability of mobile printing, the elimination of having to name and password each print job separately, and the added security of seeing only your own print jobs will help outweigh the initial inconvenience of learning a new routine.
Please join us for a free screening of “The Big City” (Mahānagara) on Wednesday February 11th at 7 p.m. in the Moskovitz Theater in The DeNaples Center. Dr. Satyajit Ghosh will lead a discussion after the film.
One of famed director Satyajit Ray’s greatest films, “The Big City” (Mahānagara) is set in Calcutta in the early 1960’s. The film centers on the changes in society and how they affect a traditional Indian family. Subrata and his wife Arati are having trouble supporting children and his parents on his salary as a bank clerk. With her husband’s reluctant support Arati takes a sales job in the city, but some family members have trouble adjusting to her new-found independence.
“The Big City” is in Bengali with English subtitles.
This event is open to faculty, staff, students and the public. Please email sharon.finnerty@scranton.edu for more information.
Film series sponsored by a University of Scranton Diversity Initiative Grant through the Office of Equity and Diversity.
