DISPLAY:Celebrate: Black History Month!

Black History Month started as a month long celebration in February 1976. The Library has a wonderful collection of books on Black History and we have created a display at the circulation desk for your enjoyment. If you have a moment please stop by and check it out!

DISPLAY: J. D. Salinger

Jerome David "J. D." Salinger, January 1, 1919-January 27, 2010, was an American author best known for his book The Catcher in the Rye. He was 91 years of age, and, according to Wikipedia, his last published work was in 1965, and his last interview in 1980. If you are passing through the MIC in the next couple of days, take an opportunity to look at our display honoring Mr. Salinger.

Champlain joins NITLE

Champlain College is now an institutional member of the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE), a community-based, non-profit initiative that helps colleges and universities explore and implement digital technologies. NITLE's mission is to catalyze innovation to advance liberal education in the digital age. As their website describes, "We are centrally concerned with the integration of technology into teaching and learning, strategic approaches to managing technology infrastructure on small campuses, and the impact and implications of emerging technologies for liberal education."
Champlain faculty and staff members can take advantage of Champlain's NITLE membership in several ways:

1. Join an online community and share ideas about teaching with colleagues at other schools. Sample communities include: Advancing pedagogical uses of technology on campus,... Teaching about North Africa, the Middle East, and Islam ...Teaching and supporting teaching of languages and cultures (see details)


2. Follow NITLE's blogs


3. Participate in online sessions held in the "virtual auditorium" on topics such as "Teaching with Mobile Devices: Mapwalks" or "Using Technology to Teach Contemporary Political Conflicts" (see more information on virtual as well as F2F events)


4. Learn more about NITLE via the NITLE website
