This week, September 23 -29, 2018, we are celebrating Banned Books Week! Many readers would be surprised to find out how many books that they have read that are actually on the banned books list. Books are challenged, questioned, or even banned frequently, usually by concerned parents but it could be by anyone or group. Many of reasons for these challenges are due to explicit sexual content or offensive language. Some have been accused of promoting homosexuality. Banned Books Week is a time libraries and bookstores to remind us to celebrate our freedom to read without censorship. </div>

The U.S. Constitution was ratified on September 17, 1787. Every year around Constitution Day educational institutions across the United States teach students about the important history of the U.S. Constitution. This year the Birmingham-Southern College Library encourages you to learn a little more about the document that makes our government so preferable to the alternatives that are out there. The Library has created a research guide highlighting interesting information about the Constitution.Please take a look at our display in the Library, and also our Research Guide for <a href="http://libguides.bsc.edu/constitution" style="color: #776644; text-decoration-line: none;">Constitution Day</a>.</div>

Have you ever gone to check out a movie from the library, only to find that after thoroughly searching, it's nowhere to be found? Well now is the time to change that! The library is gearing up to order some new movies for the SGA recreational video collection, and we need student input. Whether it's an older movie that we have on VHS but not DVD, or a new movie that's just been released on DVD, or maybe even a movie that we don't have in either format, please drop by the Circulation Desk to put your suggestions in the box!<br /><br />A big THANK YOU to SGA for providing the funds for us to be able to purchase these movies!</div>

For most research projects and papers you write at BSC, you will need to document the outside material you use. This is also called citing sources or giving references. There are several different ways this can be done, which generally involve brief parenthetical material in your text plus a detailed bibliography at the end of your paper.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Gudea, HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Different disciplines or subject matters typically use different formats, also called styles, for the in-text citations and the bibliographies, and your professor will tell you which one to use. Whatever style you use, be sure to be consistent. Do not mix styles!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Gudea, HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Take a look at our Research Guide with descriptions and links to help you with your citations.</div>

Welcome back, alumni! We in your library are happy to help you celebrate your return to the Hilltop. Stop by during your visit to buy materials at the library book sale, all day Friday or Saturday. And, while you're reminiscing in the library, check out our displays featuring materials from the honor classes of 2007 (happy 10th!), 1992 (can you believe it's been 25?!), or the Golden Gingkos of 1967 (there's NO WAY it's been 50, right?!).<br />
<br />
We also have copies of the yearbooks from most years at 'Southern behind the reference desk as you walk in the building to the right, as well as copies from some years for sale in the book sale.<br />
<br />
If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, come upstairs and take a look through the BSC archives, where our archivist, Gina Armstrong '92, will be happy to help you find any information we might have on fellow students, favorite (or hated) professors or administration, or photographs of people and buildings through the years. You'll be welcome to pull out a chair and stay as long as you like.<br />
<br />
Again, welcome back, whether it's your first reunion or your 50th, and we hope to share memories with you in the library and beyond this weekend.<br />
<br />
GOOD TO KNOW:<br />
Reunion dates Friday, October 14 and Saturday, October 15<br />
Book sale times Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.<br />

<span style="line-height: 20.8px;">The BSC Library needs more student suggestions to help expand the SGA movie collection -- please submit! Whether it's a certain film in a more obsolete medium or just something we don't own, expanding and updating the media collection is an important part of library upkeep, and students play an important part in that selection process. The suggestions box is conveniently placed on the Circulation Desk, so the next time you check out a book or movie, feel free to throw a few suggestions in there or send them to <a href="mailto:libcirc@bsc.edu" style="color: #776644;">libcirc@bsc.edu</a>!</span><br /><br style="line-height: 20.8px;" /><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">A very large and grateful thank you to SGA for providing the funds to grow our film collection for the BSC community's use!</span></div>
