Rock The Casbah: Calarts Student Behaviors And Habits, Jeffrey Gatten, Mike Bryant

Librarian Publications & Presentations

Adapting the qualitative methodologies from "Studying Students: The Undergraduate Research Project at the University of Rochester", the CalArts' Student Behaviors and Habits (CASBAH) project undertook to learn more holistically about the behaviors of art school students. The research question was simply, "How do students in an artistic and nontraditional setting view and act on the process of discovery?"

The Arizona Summit: Tough Times In A Tough Land, Linda A. Whitaker, Melanie I. Sturgeon

Journal of Western Archives

Western repositories have much to gain and little to lose from statewide initiatives that promote cooperative collection management policies.

Subject librarians in their review of the liberal arts titles selected found that the books were appropriate additions and that these titles expanded the cross-disciplinary nature of the collection. The Books …
