Last Lunchtime Film Break of the Fall 2006 Semester -- Cezanne - December 5

The Library and Student Services will be hosting a lunch time viewing of a film on the artist Cezanne in the Academic Center Lecture Hall. Bring your lunch and enjoy! Pop-corn will be provided by the Cafe.

Cezanne. West Long Branch, NJ : Kultur, 2000. Paul Cezanne sought a method of capturing the underlying structure of any subject matter, in landscape, in still-life, and in portraiture. His eventual triumph derived from a revolutionary new approach to color and to perspective. His paintings were often derided by the critics, but by the end of his life, his fenius was beginning to be appreciated. Cezanne's influence on 20th century artists was so great that he is now referred to as the "Father of Modern Painting."

If you have film titles you'd like to suggest for the Spring Semester Viewings please contact Daya in our Student Services department at 860 434-5232 x 134

Library Acquisitions Supported by The Betsey Sturges Memorial Gift

The family and friends of Betsey Sturges, artist, directed a very generous gift to the Krieble Library in her honor. As a result, this semester we are able to purchase several new titles with special funding from the Betsey Sturges Memorial Gift!


We have purchased:
LECTURES ON ARTISTIC ANATOMY & FIGURE DRAWING
by
ROBERT BEVERLY HALE

VIDEOTAPED AT THE
ART STUDENT'S LEAGUE OF NEW YORK

Series of 10 DVD'S (over 13 hours)

THE LECTURE SERIES: Realizing that the Hale lectures ought to be preserved for posterity, in 1976, before he retired, Mr. Hale's entire Monday night series of lectures was videotaped in black and white in the order that he delivered them at the Art Student's League of New York. Future generations of artists and students will be able to benefit from the vast knowledge and penetrating insights of these famous lectures, with all the warmth and wit that makes them such a memorable experience. Throughout the lectures, you see Mr. Hale demonstrating to his students the basic structure, proportions, anatomical details, function and renderings of the human figure, by way of the human skeleton and by his skillful step by step drawings.

Additionally, we have the full series of DVDs from Glenn Vilppu's anatomy course and figure drawing manual on order.

We are deeply appreciative of this gift and are very please to announce this special acquisition!

Best,
Loree Bourgoin
Librarian and Director of the Krieble Library

How to find materials when our OPAC is down

Please use staff to assist you in locating materials in our library this afternoon.

We will be conducting some system maintenance on our library catalog today, Tuesday Nov. 7^th between the hours of 1-3pm.

During that time our library catalog (a.k.a. OPAC) will be unavailable.

Never fear, when the system is down, our staff on duty is always a good back-up to aid you in determining what resources might answer your questions and satisty your research needs. Indeed, we are always happy to assist patrons in locating books and visual resources and especially while our catalog is down!

Please, note, all other online resources, Internet and databases, will be available throughout the day. Any questions please ask staff at the Library during business hours!

Real-time, web-based reference service

Now our campus has access to a online reference service! InfoAnytime - the statewide virtual reference project coordinated by the Connecticut Library Consortium (CLC) a statewide membership collaborative serving all types of Connecticut libraries has come to the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts library.

InfoAnyTime is a real-time, web-based reference service that provides live librarians to assist students, faculty and the public in finding information to support their research. It allows students and patrons to connect to a professional librarian 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sessions are conducted via online chat, using pushing and co-browsing technology to display information found on the web and in the iCONN databases. Currently the Microsoft IE or Firefox browsers are recommended. Basically anyone with a web browser can access the service - without extra add-on software.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Users of the service click on the InfoAnyTime link on their library's web site, enter their name and email address (optional), and wait a few moments for a librarian to come online.

Professional, highly-trained librarians conduct reference interviews via online chat, and provide answers and further resources in the form of web sites and online database citations. These online resources appear directly on the user's screen, next to the chat session window. The user may interact both with the web sites provided and with the librarian until his/her question has been answered satisfactorily.

At the end of each session, both the participant and the reference librarians at the college receive transcripts of the session via email.

All LACFA students, staff and faculty are welcome to bring their questions about this new service to the staff at our campus library.

Krieble Library· LACFA · 84 Lyme Street · Old Lyme, CT 06371· 860.434.5232 ext. 130 or library@lymeacademy.edu
