The USF Polytechnic Library invites you to events during Banned Books Week.
Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. This year, the Week will take place September 24th to October 1st. Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship. It celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those viewpoints to all who wish to read them. After all, intellectual freedom can exist only where these two essential conditions are met.

As part of our Banned Books Week events, we are looking for readers for our Read Out!
What: Read from a challenged or banned book for a 15 minutes period. There is no microphone, no sitting audience – you read from a passage of your choice from a book of your choice in a normal voice to passers-by.
Who: Anyone can read: students, staff or faculty members.
When: Tuesday, September 27, from 11:30 AM to 1 PM and from 4:30 PM to 6 PM
Where: On the LTB terrace, outside the USFP Library/Open Use Lab
How: Sign up with Catherine Lavallée-Welch (clw@poly.usf.edu), with your preferred time and title (if possible, readers should bring their own books since the Library has a limited selection. Please see the 2010-2011 list of challenged or banned books and the list of the Frequently Challenged Books of the 21st century for title ideas.) We’ll do our best to accommodate your preferred time, first come, first served.
Here are the latest arrivals for the month of August. As always, Polytechnic titles are located in the New Books shelves in the back of the room. Reference is shelved immediately in their proper stacks. FIPR materials are shelved immediately in their proper stacks.

In observance of Labor Day, the USF Poly Library and the OUL will be closed on Monday, September 5th.
LTB 1115 will reopen on Tuesday, September 6th at 8:00 AM.
Electronic resources are still available, 24/7, from wherever you are 
Enjoy the holiday!
Beginning this week, RefWorks, the web based citation manager, is changing its look.
While the interface will be new, all of your citations will still be available. RefWorks 2.0 will retain its power and functionality but with a new look and abilities that further enhance the user experience. Although you will be presented with the new interface, for the rest of 2011 you may switch back to Classic RefWorks whenever you like. Look for the RefWorks Classic link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. You can toggle back and forth between the two interfaces.
RefWorks 2.0 is all the best of Classic, but streamlined with a clean, intuitive design that’s:
- Simple – with key functions via new buttons, navigation toolbars, action icons, light boxes, and collapsible menus with one-click features and support resources at the user’s fingertips
- Powerful – with the ability to quickly view full references and share information with colleagues or researchers anywhere, whether they are RefWorks users or not
- Loved – by all levels of users – from undergrads using it to create simple bibliographies to advanced users such as faculty members and researchers for presentations, writing articles, or seeking to get their work published
Please note that Write-N-Cite and RefGrab-It are not available with the 2.0 interface but the classic versions work seamlessly with the rest of 2.0. RefWorks will be completing those features later this year.
You can log in RefWorks here. A preview of the 2.0 version and a RefWorks 2.0 Fundamentals tutorial are also available.
