Claremont Colleges Library News

The new issue of FIVE is now online. Articles in this issue focus on a short story by Nadine Gordimer, Russian as a second language, and Shakespeare's King Lear.

FIVE is a collaborative partnership of the Writing Centers of the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges and the Claremont Colleges Library and is part of a larger network of online open access publications supported by the Claremont Colleges Library in Scholarship@Claremont. FIVE publishes academic papers written by undergraduate students at Pomona College, Scripps College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, and Pitzer College and offers an opportunity for students to gain experience in the publication process. All submissions go through a blind review process. The Board of Reviewers and the Editorial Board include students, faculty, and librarians from the Claremont Colleges.

Our regular Summer hours (Mon-Fri: 8:30-7; Sat: noon-7; Sun: closed) resume on Tues., May 28.

We open at 8AM on Thurs., May 9, and will remain open until 6PM on Fri., May 17. More details, including cafe, Connection, and commencement hours here.

Congratulations and thanks to all for making RE:BOOK 2013, our second annual repurposed paper art contest, a raging success. We received 19 innovative and beautiful entries this year, spanning diverse paper media and artistic themes.

Incoming Dean of the Library Kevin Mulroy joined the RE:BOOK celebration in the Founders Room on Tuesday afternoon, citing the contest as one of a kind and an innovative contribution to the Claremont Colleges' history of excellence in the book arts.

In a surprise turn, three Pomona College students swept the contest this year:

1st Place - Leo Estrada '16 with "By Love Possessed"



2nd Place - Emily Proulx '16 with 'Hanging Chads'


3rd Place - Ivette Guadarrama '13 with 'Book Style'

You can see more RE:BOOKS on display in a case near the Services Desk on the Library's 2nd floor. Thanks again to all those who submitted projects this year, and stay tuned for more 2013 event/entry photos as well as RE:BOOK 2014 next Spring.
