Art Books Donated to Library

Radius Books, a 501(c)3 non-profit art book publishing company based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, recently donated 13 hardcover art books to the BSC Library. In their letter, they said “we would be so grateful if you could take a minute to email us a picture, a short video, or a brief description of how the books were received by you and the visitors to your organization.” 

SO …. Andrea Fagerstrom brought one of her art classes to the library a couple of weeks ago and we told them about the donation program, gave them a chance to look at the books, and snapped a few photos.

Fake News — How Can You Avoid It?

Fake news has become a serious problem. The creators of fake news are good at what they do and readers aren’t so good at telling what’s fake from what’s real.

A recent study from Stanford University (Evaluating Information: the Cornerstone of Civic Online Reasoning) shows that “Overall, young people’s ability to reason about the information on the Internet can be summed up in one word: bleak.” (p. 4). This was true of students at each level — middle school, high school, and college.

How can you avoid fake news? One way is by using BSC Library resources, including our databases, for your research. We provide access to thousands upon thousands of credible newspaper, magazine, and journal articles.
