About

Posted in June 17th, 2008

Welcome to the Library Link, your source for news about new research tools, services and events at Regent University Library!

As some of our faithful readers have undoubtedly noticed, the Library Link is now published in a format different from when it first started in 2003. We are now using a blog format which we hope will provide our readers with several benefits:

A searchable archive
Categorized news entries
RSS feeds and email updates of new stories
An option to post your comments and feedback on specific stories

In addition to these features, we also plan to incorporate a news feed from the Library Link on the Library’s homepage.

Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions about our new format!

What R U Reading?

If you think the Library only has grown-up books, you haven’t walked through the curriculum section on the first floor, near the door to Administration. The Library collects a limited number of children’s and youth books for use by education students developing curricula and lesson plans. Although our collection of these materials is smaller than what a good public library would offer, it evidently met the requirements of some young visitors to the Library in June. Seated with Dean Baron are Jubilee (age 8, reading Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc), Joshua (age 5, reading Love is Walking Hand in Hand), Christia (age 10, reading By the Shores of Silver Lake), and Laya (age 6, reading A Christmas Book).

The manuscript takes its name from the Monastery of St. Catherine in the Sinai desert, where it was discovered in 1844 by a German archaeologist Constantin von Tischendorf who brought a portion of the manuscript to Leipzig University.
