In honor of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month, Hannon Library is currently presenting two displays that celebrate the LGBTQ community. The display on the first floor, closest to the reference desk, is the LGBTQ Monuments and National Historic Places in the United States Display. This display includes information on the Butt-Millet Memorial Fountain, Vicksburg National Military Park, Stonewall National Monument, Governor’s Island National Monument, Eleanor Roosevelt Historical Site and the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. Students and Patrons who are interested in the National Parks Service and learning more about LGBTQ historic locations in the U.S. can view the display in the Hannon Library Research Lab. The display is put on by the Hannon Library Government Publications office.
The first-floor display near the library’s Humanitarians for Justice, Nonviolence, and Peace art collection showcases books with LGBTQ themes and characters from Hannon Library’s collections. Featuring titles included on 2018’s Top Ten Most Challenged Books list including George by Alex Gino and This Day in June by Gayle E. Pitman, this exhibit curates books from the library’s collections that are available to borrow. The display also highlights items on loan from Southern Oregon University’s Queer Resource Center.
The displays will be available for viewing for the next few weeks. If you have a question about the Pride Month exhibits, please email Hannon Library at libraryevents@sou.edu. If you need disability accommodations to visit and view the displays, please contact Disability Resources at (541) 552-6213 or dss@sou.edu.
A Guide to Government Document Access
Library NewsSOU students, faculty, and staff that would like to access Government Documents can do so at this time either through in-person pick-up or online access.
While the Government Publications office is currently closed to maintain social distancing, patrons that need help finding a physical Government Document can fill out a form in front of the Government Publications office and place it in the basket near the office’s service window. The Government Publications staff will find the document for you to pick up later.
Access to online Government Information is available as usual through our Hannon Library research guide, https://libguides.sou.edu/federal/.
Due to COVID-19, Hannon Library is closed to the public and therefore not able to provide public access to physical items in our Federal Depository Library Collection. However, the public can still access online Government Information from home using the library research guide, https://libguides.sou.edu/federal/.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and we will provide full access again as soon as possible. In the meantime, you may contact Dotty Ormes via email (ormesd@sou.edu) for additional help with Government Information.
