The du-Pont Ball Library is proud to support Banned & Challenged Books Week (September 25 – October 1, 2016). This is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community — organizations and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. The du-Pont Ball Library will have a display of books that have been deemed “controversial” and we hope you will take the time to browse through the selection we offer, as well as check any out to read for yourself. We look forward to celebrating freedom of speech as expressed in the books that have been challenged over the years.
Creation Station Lab Now Open in Basement of the Library
The Creation Station Lab is now open from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, during the semester when classes are in session. The Lab features three iMacs with Adobe Creative Cloud software and iMovie. The Lab has a VHS to DVD converter. Also, an additional computer with slide digitization software is available for use.
The Creation Station Lab is available for all Stetson students, faculty and staff. It is located in the basement of the Library, near the Nemec Courtyard entrance.
Visit the Writing Center! Peer tutors can help at any point in your writing process, from brainstorming to revising. Although peer tutors are trained to identify and explain patterns of errors to students, tutors do not write, edit, or grade papers. The peer tutors at the Writing Center can be most helpful if you do the following:
The Writing Center is located on the first floor of the duPont-Ball Library and is open noon to 10:00 p.m Monday through Thursday, noon to 3:00 p.m. on Friday, and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. We suggest that you make an appointment online 24 hours in advance at http://www.stetson.edu/other/writing-center/. Walk-ins are welcome, but be prepared to wait if we are busy.
Writing Center sessions last about 30–45 minutes. After the session a peer tutor can email your instructor about your visit, if you choose. Email any questions about the Writing Center’s services to [email protected].
