]]>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.
]]>Come to Honnold/Mudd Library on Wednesday (it’ll be near the Services Desk), and you can find free paperbacks: classics, sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries, and romances.
Some are old, dusty, and yellow, but they are free!

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.
