The library helps by providing places
for students to work on schoolwork
with the help of a tutor assigned by
the program, as well as providing
librarian-led instruction sessions and
tours. These help introduce Upward
Bound students to information litera-
cy, a core concept used in ECU gen-
eral education, as well as in higher
education around the country.
The tours proved very popular,
enough that some tours ran over the
time allotted. Student questions
ranged from do you have these
books by my favorite authors?,
to Im a Reformation dork, so
how did you get a replica Guten-
berg Bible? and would you
answer questions at the Refer-
ence Desk that make it sound
suspiciously like Ive committed a
crime?.

His new mural debuts this July on

This summer, a hundred or so high-
schoolers have made the library their
study home-away-from-home. In spite
of the stereotype that teenagers and
libraries dont mix well, library employ-
ees have welcomed these students with
open arms. These are, after all, the
college students of tomorrow.
These are the students of Upward
Bound and Upward Bound Math &
Science, two federal grant programs
that bring in high school students for a
taste of university life. Students live on
campus for up to six weeks at a time
and take classes aimed at showing them
more about what awaits them in col-

Get a quantum of solace in
your schoolwork by using
library resources for your
physics study needs.
For general information, use
the reference books on the
third floor. Find out what
that term really means in
dictionaries, look up quick
facts in a science encyclope-
dia, or get an overview with
handbooks. Find general
science resources here, as
well as ones specifically
about physics.
If you want to bring things

look, try going to the second
floor. Find materials on every-
thing from the science of bub-
bles, questions on the nature
of reality and the universe, and
protection from radiation in

For items about wormholes,
accurately steering satellites,
and stardust, look in QB from
460540. If youre more
interested in lasers, supercon-
ductors, and quantum compu-
ting, look in call numbers
starting with TK 7800 and
above.
Our electronic resources are
especially useful for late-night
study sessions. Try using the
American Chemical Society
journal search or Computers
and Applied Sciences Com-
plete for the latest in physics

front page of the library web-
site: click on the Articles
tab of the gray search box,
and select Physics from the
drop-down menu to search
every article the library can
access on the topic.
