Alumni Authors: Denise Hamilton '81
|
Hannon Library's special Centennial series, Alumni Authors, continues this month with award-winning crime novelist Denise Hamilton, author of the Eve Diamond series and editor of Los Angeles Noir and Los Angeles Noir 2.
Denise will be talking about her latest thriller Damage Control, which author James Ellroy described as Hamilton's "largest and greatest triumph: Damage Control is a great mystery, and, much more rarely, a superb psychological thriller. Kudos to this brilliant talent."

Loyola Marymount University is conducting a large-scale assessment of information literacy skills and knowledge among LMU students. In this assessment we wish to learn about the information-seeking methods known and used by students.
This spring we are testing 100 seniors, and spots are still available. Four years ago we did a pilot test of 55 seniors. We plan to compare results and analyze how seniors learn advanced information skills during their four years at LMU.
If you're graduating this year and would like to participate, you will earn $20 on the spot for your time. Click here to learn more, and to sign up!

Image of the Month: Ask and Ye Shall Receive
|
One of the best things about living in Southern California during the winter (in addition to the fabulous weather) are the dramatic sunrises and sunsets, and sunset on Tuesday January 24 was breathtaking. Alas, nobody from the library captured an image while leaving work that day.
Enter Facebook, where a plea from Outreach Librarian Jamie Hazlitt was answered by Senior Mechanical Engineering major John Paul Velasco, who shared this image taken the week before with us.
Thanks, John! If you have an image of or related to the library that you'd like us to consider featuring next month, please post it to our Facebook page, or email jamie.hazlitt@lmu.edu. |
