Hunter Library Features Photographic Art of Mike Campbell

Several photographic interpretations by Mike Campbell, a student in Western’s Department of Art and Design, are featured near the Hunter Computer Lab, on the main floor. These digital photos, printed on canvas, capture Campbell’s perspectives from diverse travels and reflections. We invite you to view these works, portraying locations in France, North Carolina and Georgia as they appeared during his 2005 travels.

RefWorks - Organize your Citations!

RefWorks

RefWorks is an online tool for organizing, storing, and sharing citations. Citations can be selected and easily downloaded from most of the library’s databases. They can then be formatted in the needed style (MLA, APA, etc.), shared with other project members, or quickly turned into a bibliography or works cited list. Check the excellent tutorial.

International Art Exhibition at Hunter Library

Come check out the work of WCU photography students from their international travels! The International Exhibition features photos taken by art students Mike Campbell, Liz Goettee, and Hilary Lindler, capturing perspectives from their travels in Australia, England, Italy, Ireland and Scotland, in both rural and urban settings. Please visit the exhibit beside the Library’s electronic classroom on the main floor.

The exhibit will be up until December 15, 2006. The photos are available for $300.00 each — both matte and frame — and the students’ email addresses are available at the exhibit. Feel free to sign the guestbook and offer comments on the students’ work.
