Claremont Discourse: Embedded at Harvey Mudd College
Embedded at Harvey Mudd College:
An Anthropologist’s Ventures in Knowledge Making Practices
Wednesday, April 23, 4:15 PM
Honnold/Mudd Library • Founders Room
Marianne de Laet, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Science, Technology, and Society, Harvey Mudd College, and
Chair, Intercollegiate Program in the Study of Science, Technology and Society
What do an extra large ground-based astronomical observatory-in-the-making, a patent, a bottle of exquisite Burgundy wine, and a Harvey Mudd student have in common? As she reflects on the role anthropology can play in a science and engineering environment, Professor Marianne de Laet will connect these four objects of her own scholarly research and explore how her research and teaching have been informed and transformed by her curious constituency: engineers and scientists in-the-making; “subjects” and “objects” of her work. In a somewhat broader context, she will discuss Claremont’s unique Intercollegiate Program in STS.

The Libraries are investigating a variety of search products that may improve your research experience using library databases (such as JSTOR, PyscINFO, and the Blais catalog). We need your help in evaluating these products and will be conducting focus groups and usability tests in April, probably on Thursday, April 10, at 4pm and 7pm.
If you would be interested in participating in the evaluation process, please email Gale Burrow by Monday, April 7.
A limited number of participants will be selected from the volunteers. Participation will require not more than 2 hours of your time. As our thank you, we'll add $20 to each participant's Claremont Cash account.
Libraries closed for Cesar Chavez Day
The Libraries will be closed on Friday, March 28 in honor of Cesar Chavez Day. We will return to normal hours for the weekend.
Also, please note that on Friday various online library services might be interrupted for brief periods of time.
Help Us Improve Your Research Process!
Do you wish it were simpler to find the information you really need? Do you get tired of clicking only to end up back where you started? The Libraries are in the process of investigating ways to improve our research tools. Please take our survey:
Survey on the Libraries' Search Tools and the Research Process
Your participation will help the Libraries understand how you currently search for information, identify problems you have using library resources, and gather your suggestions on how to make searching easier and more effective. The results of this survey will guide the Libraries' investigation of new online search tools that could make your research process easier. We appreciate your participation.
Watch for survey findings to be posted to this News section after April 2.

Claremont Discourse: Pomona Poet/National Poet: Robert Mezey Reads from His Work
Wednesday, March 26, 4:15 PM
Honnold/Mudd Library • Founders Room
Robert Mezey, Professor Emeritus of English, Pomona College
Winner of the Lamont Poetry Prize the PEN Poetry Award, and many other garlands, Robert Mezey is a poet of wide experience, erudition, voice and form. The topics of his poems range from Thomas Hardy to Charles Starkweather to reflections on being a Jewish son. An explorer of poetic forms, he has written in blank verse, syllabics, ballads, sonnets, terza rima-even a haiku and a blues. His talents as a teacher found a welcoming home at Pomona College from 1976 until he retired in 1999. Professor Mezey will read from his works and talk about the art of teaching poetry.
