Did you know that the library has portable power stations for you to check out? These batteries allow you to plug in and sit in places that don’t have a convenient power source.
Take one to class, to the quad, to your favorite quiet spot in the library! Charge up and stop worrying about plugging in.
Ask for the portable power station at the Library Circulation Desk. They circulate for four hours, and will help you POWER THROUGH Spring Quarter!

Songs and interviews by the folklorist Alan Lomax are now online for free! Open Culture highlighted this treasure trove of music earlier this month. The recordings were made available by the Association for Cultural Equity, a nonprofit organization founded by Lomax in the 1980s.
Lomax recorded traditional African American songs and stories, as well as pieces from other cultures of America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. Musicians, anthropologists, sociologists, historians, and so many more people will be interested in this archive.
The Library has a new microfilm and microfiche reader, available to use in the Technical Services Suite on the second floor (Room 205).
