»Angel Tree 2005

Lauinger Library is participating in the Georgetown University Angel Tree 2005 project, a benefit to collect books for children in the DC community. Pick up an angel off one of the Angel Trees, buy a new book, write a personal note in the book, and drop it off in Lauinger's lobby or at any of the other drop-off sites around campus. Your generosity will provide new books to children in local schools, shelters, and after-school programs. The drive continues through December 9.

»Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Centre--New Online Database

Looking for a list of mail bomb attacks in Western Europe? Descriptions of terrorist groups operating in Central America? For this and more information on terrorist groups and activities, try Jane’s World Insurgency and Terrorism Centre. Jane’s includes profiles of terrorist groups, descriptions and analyses of terrorist attacks throughout the world since the late 1980’s, and assessments of events and trends affected by international terrorism. Terrorist and militant groups are organized by name, affected countries, and general characteristic. Users can also conduct event searches and use unique limiters such as affected countries, target details, tactics used, and number of casualties.

»REMINDER: Refurbishment Noise in Lauinger

The exterior walls of Lauinger Library are undergoing refurbishment. Work is taking place Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and is expected to last throughout the semester. This project may be noisy at times as it will include drilling and chipping. As finals approach, the schedule will be altered in order to minimize the impact on students who reside nearby.

Cervantes monument in Madrid's Plaza de España

The Cervantes monument in Madrid's Plaza de España, with its statues of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, was created by Lorenzo Coullaut-Valera in 1928-30. A popular and prolific Spanish sculptor, C.-Valera executed a number of monuments in parks and gardens throughout Madrid and Seville, where he was born in 1876. The watercolor is by a Spanish artist born in Bilbao, who founded an artists' society in that city called Nueva Bohemia; he was a noted painter of landscape and still-life.


On display in the Fairchild Gallery.
