Library Orientation Session Scheduled for Graduate Students
 Nancy Noe, a new member of the RBD library staff who specializes in the humanities, will be offering a library
orientation session specifically for graduate students in English on Wednesday, October 18, 2000 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., in the second floor computer lab
of the library.
This is particularly for new graduate students, although returning students are also welcome. This will not be a
general introduction to the library, but rather a session that will cover bibliographical information and advanced search strategies important for English studies.
Because space is limited, please let Dave Haney, Coordinator of Graduate Studies, know by 4:40 p.m. Thursday,
October 12th if you will be attending this session. Use the following link to reach him by email or phone him at 844-9008.

On Tuesday, November 14, 2000 at 4:00 p.m. (location to be announced),
Jan Nordby Gretlund, Professor of American Literature at the University of Southern Denmark,
will speak on "Southern History, Biography, and Fiction: Is There a Difference?"
Dr. Gretlund is the author or editor of Eudora Welty's
Aesthetics of Place, Frames of Southern Mind: Reflections on the Stoic, Bi-Racial, and Existential
South, Realist of Distances: Flannery O'Connor Revisited, Walker Percy: Novelist and
Philosopher, Southern Landscapes, The Late Novels of Eudora Welty, and The Southern
State of Mind.
