The Conversion Process
After much work last Spring semester, we are continuing the reorganization and shifting of our book collections into a new call number system.
When you come by to visit us at the start of this semester, you will find
our books arranged in two distinct sections: Our older books will be in
Dewey Decimal call number order with the newly sorted books in Library
of Congress call number order. (A breakdown of LC Classification is
posted on the shelves near The Visual Resource Center.) Let us help you
get acquainted with Krieble!
Learning Resources on Blackboard
Look to connect to a new “learning resources section” in every class
Blackboard index. What you will find is a library link that will automatically
be loaded in this section along with a link for writing assistance. This will
provide basic level access to the library for every course.
The Better To See:
Our tutor in Krieble
Linda Lubrano, the Professional Writing Tutor from UNH’s Center for
Learning Resources gets it. She is the
perfect fit to work with the unique, yet
immensely rewarding library population specific to Lyme Academy. They
come in for consultation on art history
research papers, Senior Artist
Statements and the like, finding that
time between long studio hours in
their rigorous schedule. She had
this to say:
Linda goes over artist statements with 2016 Graduate Xizhong Zhang.
“What better time to tackle writing about writing than when your head is aching, I thought sympathetically. I picked up June Casagrande's Grammar Snobs are Great Big Meanies. Yes, yes, "Great
writing isn't born; it's built." It's what I tell every student who walks nervously through my Writing
Lab door assuring me that he or she can paint just fine, but that writing is another matter.”
“I then remembered writing by painting teacher and landscape artist of PBS fame, David Dunlop.
The phrase, "Do you see like a camera? We go through life anticipating what we are going to see
and miss things--" This harkens back to my belief in the importance of artists needing a second eye
on their work when writing about what they see, so the better they will see. Artists and writers get
bogged down, forget the audience, disregard their original purpose, and need that gentle nudge to
get going again—or to revise. Whether in words or pictures.”
“On my weekly time out at Lyme, I encourage the students to relax and enjoy the learning process,
polish essential skills, develop confidence as writers, and exercise critical thinking to better appreciate “the art of writing. Come and see.” Students and staff look forward to the continual enhancement
of our creative process and perception with our co-worker Linda into the Fall of 2016.
Getting The Best on the shelves
“The staff at the Krieble Library clearly love their work and are always wanting
to help me in my course in any way. Invariably, they have some suggestion
for a teaching material to aid in an assignment. They have also helped me set
up my class electronically and given me several tutorials on how to use the
library's Visual Resource Center. All you need to do as an instructor is mention
something to them and they will get right at work for us. I mentioned that I
really love using The Best American Essays yearly compendiums for teaching
creative nonfiction writing, but that the UNH library had maybe one or two
years. Well, last summer they ordered SEVEN different anthologies, all of
which I used this past spring semester for my two sections. I feel that Lyme
is so fortunate to have such a professional and congenial staff. The Academy
itself is such a delightful and friendly place to work at-The Krieble Library being one of the chief reasons I feel this way.”
