Larry Schwartz, Librarian, presents a Deans’ Lecture on “All of the Good Metaphors for a Title were Taken: The Great Plains and/in Fiction” at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17 in the Comstock Memorial Union 203. The body of Great Plains and Canadian prairie fiction is large but, outside of a number of acknowledged classics, not widely known – much like the region itself. This lecture will survey some of the known and some of the unknown works that typify the Plains. All are welcome to attend.
The Library is currently running a number of free database trials. Please check out the Spring 2010 Trials web page.
