This Web site will integrate new features and services into a fresh, clean design that will make it easier to find books and articles, renew materials, talk to librarians, and conduct all sorts of other tasks that students and staff commonly perform online. http://ww2.coastal.edu/pulpandpixels/newsredesignth.html Student input, in particular, is crucial to the redevelopment of the Kimbel Library Web site because they are the main users. Their academic success depends upon their ability to find and use information successfully, and the library Web site is a primary tool that allows them to do so. http://ww2.coastal.edu/pulpandpixels/newsassistants.html This year, Kimbel Library employed seventy student assistants, thirty-three of which were new students working in the library for the first time. Although many people might assume that working in the library would be boring or maybe just “too quiet,” students working at Kimbel Library actually have a wide variety of interesting jobs. http://ww2.coastal.edu/pulpandpixels/bookreview.html Some people may think that Aldous Huxley was a time traveler when they read his novel, Brave New World. He was able to draw very eerie similarities between his book and the modern world.
