Papers, Projects, Finals and Puppies?

Finals are over. Campus is growing quieter every day, for the moment. Gabrielle Karampelas discusses the Libraries' role in attending to our patrons' needs before, during and after the frenzy of the quarter end.

French Socialist Press

Sarah Sussman, the Libraries’ Curator of French and Italian Collections, writes about the conference Between Theory and Practice: the French Socialist Press, 1819-1871, at the Stanford University Libraries that brought together twelve scholars from France, Britain, and the US, ranging from graduate students to senior faculty, to present their research based on the socialist press found in SUL's Gustave Gimon Collection on French Political Economy.

Exhibits & Events

On January 30th, Medieval Matters presents Elaine Pagels, Professor of Religion at Princeton University, who will speak on "Art, Music, and Politics in the Book of Revelation." Who wrote the Book of Revelation? Why did he write it as he did? And why—and how—do people still read it today? These are the questions that catalyzed the writing of Elaine Pagels’ most recent book, which explores the astonishing cultural influence of one of the most unusual and influential books in the New Testament.
