International and Area Studies Library - Campus Events

Join us for the fourth webinar in the Costumes & Customs Lecture Series, sponsored by the Office of Arts Integration and organized in collaboration with the University Library, the Department of Theatre, the Department of Classics, the Spurlock Museum, and the Krannert Art Museum, explores the history and cultural significance of clothing across time and place.

The end of the semester can be tough. Deadlines, late nights, and concerns about final grades can make things extra stressful. The Counseling Center is here when you need us. Come see us at the Main Library, where we'll be setting up a resource table to share encouragement, hand out care packages, and direct you to resources that can help you manage stress.

If you like trivia or university history, come to our second Ultimate Archives Trivia! Questions will focus on University of Illinois history involving academics, athletics, inventions, events, faculty, and alumni.

Dr. Pinshane Huang, Professor and Racheff Faculty Scholar of Materials Science and Engineering, will discuss her research on transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy of two-dimensional materials and soft-hard interfaces.

Learn about preserving, digitizing, and providing access to historical newspapers in your library collections! Staff of the Illinois Newspaper Project will discuss preservation and digitization best practices, how to undergo a newspaper digitization project, and what to do with newspapers once they've been digitized.

All campus libraries will be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 13, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for an all-employee event. Library digital resources will remain available during this closure and may be accessed through the Library Gateway (click the link above). Please arrange your study or research schedule accordingly.
