Hollywood, the Holocaust, and the crisis over propaganda
No full textDr. Steven Alan Carr delivers a lecture entitled, "Hollywood, the Holocaust, and the Crisis Over Propaganda," as part of the fifth annual Esther and George Kessler Lecture on Jewish Film and Media. Using rare multimedia excerpts of films, speeches, industry memos and copies of original Hollywood publicity, Carr demonstrates how the concept of propaganda became a lightning rod for debates over the so-called Jewish control of the media, especially in Hollywood. He also says that this fear of Jewish control often lead to the depiction of World War II as essentially a Jewish war in which America had no business intervening. Carr is introduced by Dr. Kenneth Waltzer, Director of the Michigan State University Jewish Studies Program. Carr answers questions from the audience. Part of the Michigan State University Libraries' Colloquia Series. Held at the MSU Main Library
The Greening of America’s Libraries: LEEDing the Way
No full textThe Greening of America’s Libraries: LEEDing the Way, written by Mary M. Carr and Steven L. Carr, United States Green Building Council (USGBC) trained and certified accredited LEED- AP professionals and librarians, introduces librarians and design professionals to the information, standards and tools necessary to construct or renovate a library in accordance with the USGBC’s LEED requirements and process.
A core principle of libraries is to be a presence in the communities they serve. That presence takes many forms, from historical images of a librarian riding the circuit on horseback, to a bookmobile, to the physical space of a library building. Today’s libraries use technology to extend the reach of resources and services. These sorts of changes, along with economic concerns, have necessitated a fresh look at physical library buildings, including making them more environmentally sound.
The goal of The Greening of America’s Libraries is to provide the information, tools and confidence a non-building or design professional needs to construct or renovate library spaces with an eye towards sustainability. Carr and Carr provide readers with point by point explanations of LEED requirements in all relevant categories along with examples of existing library building projects that illustrate specific LEED requirements. The handbook is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in library renovation projects along with the construction or lease of new library spaces.
This book is co-published by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA)

STEVEN KEATON
No full textThe contemporary self is repeatedly divided and subdivided with new and newer kinds of mediation in a so-called Age of Information. And yet, because a predictable, singular self is fundamental to economic and cultural systems, the human consciousness is at odds with itself, desperately trying to reconcile two oppositional forces: one insisting on a diffuse, liquid persona; the other on a hierarchical soul that looks suspiciously like it's straight out of the Enlightenment. STEVEN KEATON explores the boundaries of that troubled self, the construction of those tenuous boundaries, and the many ways in which identity is regularly ruptured and destabilized. Through a persistent interrogation of proper names, these poems, essays, stories, and fragments deploy a lexicon of words that allegedly refer to the kinds of objects that we expect to be familiar and domestic. But because the very medium in which we "call-up" those objects is subject to changing systems of meaning, which themselves are subject to the many voices and consciousnesses in attendance, the previously mundane objects unexpectedly deform their appearances and identities. The medium and the message are conflated, revealing how genders warp, sounds become houses, water is suddenly meat-like, and our names aren't our names anymore. STEVEN KEATON utters a world where our selfhood, and everything we sense and know to be cut up into its most essential material --whatever that is-- and then formed into something that merely echoes the shape of the soul
