Black History Month Events
Black Vote/Liberation: The intersectional themes of black voting and liberation are complex and global for peoples of African descent. Indeed, issues related to the two-party system, proportional representation, Pan-African ideals, competing concepts of “democracy” have challenged any simple notions of what “black voting” signifies in 2020. Therefore, this year’s Black History Month Theme: Black Vote/Liberation celebrates the ongoing struggle for Black Liberation and its changing sociocultural and political patterns and migrations of Africa and throughout the Diaspora.

Choosing a Citation Manager, Feb. 13
A citation manager helps organize PDFs and notes as well as format citations in thousands of styles. Unfortunately, there is no best citation manager. The three citation managers the library teaches–Zotero, EndNote, and Mendeley–all have different strengths and weaknesses. This class previews each citation manager and explains the differences between them. Presented by Emma Fernandez, Brad Fuller, and Logan Rodriguez, University Libraries.
Date: Thursday, February 13
Time: 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Location: 213 Ellis Library or online via Zoom

Ken Logsdon Photography on Display in Bookmark Cafe
An exhibit of local artist Ken Logsdon’s photographs is on display in the Bookmark Cafe on the ground floor of Ellis Library. This exhibit will be on display during the spring semester.
Artist’s Statement:
I photograph things that catch my eye. It might be a pattern. It might be a reflection. There might be high contrast. It might be a shadow. It might be the perfect vignette. I love quirky. I have begun doing nature abstracts. I’m hoping the viewer has to look awhile to decide why I shot the photo and what it is; to see a face or a creature. That is why you usually won’t see titles on my photos.
Not represented in this show, I also travel to small towns NOTI (Not on the Interstate) and try to find representations of Americana. I have learned a bit about the current economy by doing so – not in an academic way but observationally.
