Dr. Seuss Went to War - 0 views

  •  
    In Module 3 of my class on "The Politics of Dr. Seuss," we will be exploring the political cartoons that Dr. Seuss and others produced during World War 2. These cartoons mostly appeared in PM, a New York newspaper, from 1941 to 1943. I discovered these cartoons in a book called Dr. Seuss & Co. Go to War, and I had planned to scan and upload cartoons from the book. But I searched in MERLOT and was so pleased to find a treasure trove of hundreds of cartoons! I can draw on these for my Powerpoint presentation to the class and direct students to this website to find even more.

Journal boycott gaining steam at UW-Madison (Feb. 21, 2012) - 0 views

  • Overall, UW-Madison libraries spent a total of $6,541,217 on 64,421 serials (periodicals such as paper and electronic journals, magazines and newspapers from a vast array of publishers) during fiscal year 2010.
  •  “Authors have complete control over where they decide to send their papers. If one day, everybody decides not to send to Elsevier, but to open access journals instead, it would be done.”
  • The boycott began with a Jan. 21 blog post by Timothy Gowers, a British mathematician who channeled his concern about Elsevier's practices and prices and sparked an international boycott that has gained more than 6,000 signatories, including dozens from UW-Madison.
