The Bauhaus at Home and Abroad: Selections from the Papers of Walter Gropius, Lyonel Feininger, and Andor Weininger Through Friday, May 24 Amy Lowell Room, Houghton Library Though it operated for just fourteen years, from 1919 to 1933, the experimental German design school known as the Bauhaus sparked the most significant design movement of the twentieth century. Ill-fated to coincide with the rise of Nazi Germany, the Bauhaus ideas of form united with function nevertheless endure, informing contemporary approaches to tea kettles, skyscrapers, and everything in between. This exhibit explores the trajectories of three seminal practitioners in the Bauhaus school and their later careers in the United States. It complements the Harvard Art Museums exhibition, The Bauhaus and Harvard (https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) , and is part of the “Bauhaus at 100” (https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) global celebrations.

(https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) Study Tip of the Week The Special Collections Libraries What is a Special Collections Library? Special Collections libraries house valuable or rare items that usually require specialized security or care. For this reason, items in special collections libraries must be read on-site, in a reading room, and cannot be removed from the library’s premises. At Harvard, items in special collections can be found in HOLLIS. In many cases, an item’s HOLLIS record will include a “Finding Aid,” which lists the items in a particular collection in greater detail. Once you find an item that you’re interested in, you will usually need to request the item through HOLLIS. Note that not all items in special collections libraries are stored on-site—meaning that in some cases, it may take a day or two for your item to be available. Examples of Harvard’s Special Collections: * The Ludlow-Santo Domingo Collection (https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) at Houghton Library is The Ludlow-Santo Domingo Library is the world’s largest private collection of material on altered states of mind. The 50,000-plus-item collection documents psychoactive drugs and their physical and social effects. * The Harvard Theatre Collection (https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) at Houghton Library encompasses documentary material on theater, dance and ballet, and opera. Announcements & Upcoming Events Victorian Visionary: John Ruskin and the Realization of the Ideal Exhibition Opening February 13, 2019 Lecture by Sara Atwood: 5:30 PM, Lamont Library Exhibition Viewing & Reception: 6:30 PM, Houghton Library Celebrate the opening of Houghton's latest major exhibition. Best known as an artist and art historian, John Ruskin (1819-1900) became an outspoken social critic of the Industrial Age and a champion of diverse progressive causes, ranging from affordable housing to land conservation. To mark the bicentenary of his birth, this exhibition explores Ruskin’s vision of a better world through original artwork, autograph letters, association copies, and illustrated books, in addition to other primary resources recently donated to Houghton Library by R. Dyke Benjamin, Harvard Class of 1959. The evening will begin with a lecture, "'The Things that Lead to Life': Ruskin the Educator," by Sara Atwood. Following the lecture, join us for a reception and viewing of the exhibition. Victorian Visionary will remain on view through April 13. 2019 Senior Thesis Cite-a-Thons Thursday, February 21, 3:30 -5:00 p.m. Lamont Library, Room B30 (on Level B) RSVP Here (https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) Books and articles are the easy stuff in MLA, APA or Chicago style.

Undergraduate Research Spotlight March 1, 2019 12PM -1:30PM Cabot Library Discovery Bar on the first floor Come and meet your Harvard undergraduate peers and learn about their research projects and experiences conducting scientific and engineering research at Harvard and abroad.

The Yoke of Bondage: Christianity and African Slavery in the United States Through Friday, March 15 Andover-Harvard Theological Library, 2nd floor Most people today assume that Christianity and slavery are incompatible. For most of Christian history, however, the opposite was true. Christians not only owned slaves, but they also argued that slavery was sanctioned by the Bible. This exhibit explores the relationship between Christianity and African slavery in the United States from the late 19th century, when the first antislavery societies were organized, until the onslaught of the Civil War. In sermons, poems, pamphlets, and memoirs, American Christians fought over the meaning of their faith. In contrast to proslavery theologians, who described Christianity as a religion of hierarchy, order, and submission, opponents of slavery — including large numbers of black Christians — argued that the Bible is a story about liberation. "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free," they read in Paul's Letter to the Galatians, "and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." The exhibit is curated by Freshman Seminar 43D: Christianity and Slavery in America, 1619-1865 taught by Professor Catherine Brekus. On display are original materials from the Special Collections of the Andover-Harvard Theological Library, as well as reproductions from materials held at other Harvard libraries.

Summary-Level Data: Summary-level data are published data points—what you would use if you were looking for a quick statistic such as the unemployment rate or a country’s GDP. Micro-Level Data: Micro-level data files are the numerically-coded results of a particular survey or study. The data are in an unanalyzed, raw format of columns and rows. Some raw data files are accompanied by files in SPSS, SAS or other statistical software format for easier use in these packages. Codebooks: Codebooks provide information on the structure, content, and layout of a micro-level data file and the questionnaire, if any, used for the survey or study. More information on research with numeric data can be found at this research guide (https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) !

For more information on good writing, try contacting the Writing Center (https://writingcenter.fas.harvard.edu/) . Their website also has guides on discipline-specific writing strategies, including this one for writing papers in psychology.

Microfilm is a length of film that contains scaled-down reproductions of documents, such as newspapers or magazines. Many of Harvard’s microfilm collections (https://guides.library.harvard.edu/history/documentary#s-lg-box-6315651) are contained at Lamont Library, as part of the Government Information/Microforms Collections. This collection, which includes information from the U.S. government, the United Nations, and other foreign governments and non-governmental organizations, can be browsed on HOLLIS. You may need to use microfilm if you're working with sources that are only available on microfilm, and haven't been digitized. Reading microfilm requires a special machine, known as a microfilm reader. Such readers are available on Lamont Level B, in the Multimedia Lab (https://library.harvard.edu/services-tools/lamont-multimedia-lab) . If you aren’t familiar with how to use microfilm readers, one of the librarians at the Multimedia Desk will be happy to help you! These media consultants are available Monday through Friday, 9am–10pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 10am–10pm. Vocab! You may have heard of different types of microforms, such as microfilm, microfiche, or micro-opaque cards (all of which can be found at the Harvard Library). These three formats differ in the ways that they are stored. Microfilm are stored as reels of film. Microfiche is stored as sheets. Micro-opaque cards (also known as microprint) are stored on cardboard cards. Although micro-opaque cards are generally no longer made, many older collections may be stored on them.
