What do you think about these book possibilities?

After being buried in our book weeding project for awhile, I'm trying to get back to regular blog entries. Here are some ideas for refilling our now more spacious bookshelves. Take a look at some hotlinked reviews and descriptions and let me know if there are any you'd like to see in the library. -- Diane

Books, etc.?

We want to make it easier for faculty to give the library suggestions on book and media purchases -- and this blog is our method. As the Social Sciences Library/Faculty Liaison (unofficial title!) I will be sending you links to books that we at the library have come across. Hopefully this will make it easy for you to let me know about any finds in the areas of Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology or Sociology that you think we should have in the library. What do you think? --Diane
