If you take a look at Biography in Context, http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/bic1?userGroupName=orla57816&, which is on the library's list of articles and databases, you'll see that Dickens has had more written about him and his work than any other writer except Shakespeare.
And if you look in the online Oxford English Dictionary, you'll find that "the dickens" was in use as a phrase for astonishment or irritation long before Charles Dickens was born. It's worth mentioning if your parents ever called you "the little Dickens", ususally in reference to some mischief you perpetrated.
It would be nice to celebrate with a little reading. How about Hard Times, or Oliver Twist, or Great Expectations?
Dickens died in 1870, and is buried in Poet's Corner of Westminster Abbey.]]> http://library.ucf.edu/News/?story=1110&channel=lib#Comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:55:31 -0500 http://library.ucf.edu/News/?story=1109&channel=lib Giuseppe Torelli (1658-1709) was an Italian composer and violinist. While he began his career composing chamber music, he turned to concertos and in fact advanced the concerto as a genre. Torelli's Trumpet Concerto in D major, G.28, written around 1701 as one of the first of several trumpet-oboe pieces, remained unpublished until after his death.This recording is performed by the Luxembourg Radio Symphony Orchestra,Pierre Cao, conductor.

That's because the export icon---the little globe---that appears at the top of each record in the UCF Library Catalog now includes RefWorks, End Note, and EndNote Web. That makes it so easy to maintain a record of your research. Both EndNote and RefWorks have similar features. EndNote also has a version available online, EndNote Web.Citation management programs help researchers:
Collect citations from online sources, including library catalogs and electronic databases.
Organize references by subject, project, author, or other schemes
Create bibliographies formatted according to MLA, APA, or other widely used citation styles.
All UCF students and faculty may register online or download the programs, which can be found on the list of articles and databases.. You must have a recognized UCF IP to download the program.

The Serenade for Strings displays a different mood in each of the movements: a cantabile style in the first, a melancholy waltz in the second, humorous high spirits in the third, lyrical beauty in the fourth, and exuberance in the fifth.

Honeyboy's string-snapping guitar riffs and soulful voice harken back to his friends and teachers Charley Patton, Big Joe Williams, Tommy Johnson, and Robert Johnson, who first forged the blues in Delta jooks and at country suppers during the Depression. Edwards crisscrossed the South in the company of such blues giants as Big Walter Horton, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Little Walter Jacobs. He settled in Chicago, where a post-WWII electric blues boom set the pattern for modern rock and roll. This recording captures him in a relaxed, unplugged, solo moment. Deep Delta blues from Robert Johnson's sidekick, whose searing vocals and stinging guitar bridge pre-war and post-war blues. Download it at http://alexanderstreet.com/GLMUdownload.htm

This number is approximately 6.02 × 1023, and is known as the Avogadro number. The mole is a more convenient unit in which to measure the amount of a chemical than counting the number of molecules, and it has the same advantages. The physical scientist Amedeo Avogadro (1776–1856) was the first to use the concept of a molecule.

Enter the main library, and turn right. Enter the Infusion area. There is a large Infusion sign on the wall, on your left. When that wall ends, turn left. Around the corner and on your left is the Copy Services office, where you will find the Express Print computer.
You can bring your document on a flash drive, or go to your email and open the document to get it printed. Be quick about it: You are invited to spend 15 minutes, maximum, on the Express Print computer. Send your fabulous document to the print release stations in the library to get the printed copy.

He was born to a middle-class family in Hamburg and was composing by age 16. Brahms deeply appreciated and studied earlier composers, and in fact defended their relevance to a movement of composers led by Liszt. The Musicians of the Future, as they called themselves, thought that the future of music was in connecting it explicitly to an ideology or literary idea.
The Tragic Overture (1880) was written in conjunction with the Academic Festival Overture. Unlike much of the music at the time, the Tragic Overture has no specific story and instead is intended to express emotion. The piece reflects Beethoven's influence on the composer; like the Ninth Symphony, it is in D minor.

Aaron Keyser of the library's Systems and Technology department is shown here installing a digital sign on 5th floor, outside of the elevators (photo by Selma Jaskowski).
On the main floor (2nd), a sign with general information is placed to the right of the entrance. Digital signs with maps and computer availability have been mounted on pillars directly across from the Art Wall, for many months.
On 1st floor, 3rd floor, 4th floor and 5th floor, digital signs have been mounted outside of the "bank of three elevators": the elevators on the right as you proceed toward the main floor Knowledge Commons.
Take a look! Your comments and questions are always welcome.
And don't forget: you can see study room availability in a list, or visit the maps to see everything's availability, including PCs, in real-time!]]> http://library.ucf.edu/News/?story=1037&channel=lib#Comments Wed, 21 Sep 2011 12:09:11 -0400 http://library.ucf.edu/News/?story=1035&channel=lib AP ImagesPhotographs from as early as 1840's and other graphics spanning over 160 years of history.

You are not imagining things---the library purchased 20 more during summer 2011. They were placed on 1st and 3rd floors.
Dry erase markers and erasers are available for checkout at the Circulation Desk.
The thoughts, ideas, formulae and diagrams in the minds of UCF students need to be expressed! So grab a whiteboard and keep on writin' and drawin' and rollin'.

Management and Organization Review doi:10.1111/j.1740-8784.2011.00248.xIntegrity provides the foundation for most scholarly endeavours, including research and publishing. Authors, reviewers, and editors share responsibility for creating and maintaining the system in which we conduct and publish our work. However, research and publishing are complicated processes. A single research effort may involve multiple authors, hundreds of participants, and a variety of skills and tools that play out over the course of months or even years. Ethical challenges may arise at any point along the way, so it is not surprising that both new and experienced scholars often struggle to understand and maintain the ethical standards expected of them. This article highlights some of the main challenges scholars face and provides initial guidance for seeking solutions. But most importantly, it sets the stage for this Special Editors' Forum on research and publishing ethics.
