East Campus Library services available at LDRF

After 53 years of operation, the C.Y. Thompson  Library (CYT)  is slated for a major renovation. From September through October, students can visit the Library Depository Retrieval Facility (LDRF)  Reading Room to view or check out  reserved course materials, pick up delivery materials or study. Located in the north west part of East Campus on the East Campus loop, the LDRF offers extended hours.


Later in October these services will move to Filley Hall in the old Dairy Store location where they will stay until the project’s completion.

As for CYT, to be named the Dinsdale Family Learning Commons, the 1960’s building was in need of a modern update to accommodate today's student needs. The renovations will be centered around a more technology rich, collaborative learning environment.  A core collection of books and a testing center will be located in the lower level with a learning commons and coffee shop on the main floor.  The building will also house the Engler Entrepreneurial Program.

The renovation project is to be completed before spring 2021.To learn more about the project visit: https://libraries.unl.edu/cy-thompson-renovation 

Fall forums of Digital Humanities Afternoons announced

Last year’s successful forum series continues this Fall 2019, with a new line up of discussions dedicated to supporting and celebrating Digital Humanities (DH) work being done by students, staff, and faculty on campus. Please join us to learn about the exciting advancements being made by the DH community here at Nebraska.

On September 25, 2019, at 3:30 pm two projects by three speakers will be presented in the Peterson Room (221), Love Library. Laura Weakly, metadata encoding specialist in the University Libraries, will talk about the interesting finds and challenges that can be encountered when trying to encode correspondence in her talk “All that Glitters Will Not Be Encoded: Fun Finds and Fiction in Historical Correspondence.”

Professors Brian Pytlik Zillig, digital initiatives librarian, and Stephen Ramsay, Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor, English Department will discuss “Muybridge I,” a collaborative art installation involving animation by Pytlik Zillig and music by Ramsay. The work, a looping three-minute video, originates in the photography of Eadweard Muybridge, Victorian photographer and author of the seminal “The Human Figure in Motion,” published in 1887.

On November 13, 2019, the next DH Afternoon will feature discussions by Linda Garcia Merchant, co-founder, Chicana Por Mi Raza Digital Memory Collective, and Dr. Ng'ang'a Muchiri Assistant Professor, English. The discussion will be held in the Dudley Bailey Library (Room 228), Andrews Hall.
