Please join us for a faculty conversation about scholarly communication:
In the last few weeks, scholarly communication issues at Berkeley and nationally have made headlines:
Join your colleagues for a conversation about what these recent headlines portend for the future of scholarly communication both here at Berkeley and within the University of California as a whole. Professors Mike Eisen (Molecular & Cell Biology), Nick Jewell (Public Health) and Randy Schekman (Molecular & Cell Biology) will share their thoughts. University Librarian Tom Leonard will moderate.
This event is co-sponsored by the Academic Senate Library Committee, The Library, the Librarian's Association of the University of California, Berkeley (LAUC-B) and the Center for Studies in Higher Education (CSHE).
March 20th, Faculty Club
While people generally think of the American frontier as moving from east to west, the conquest of much the interior west actually originated in California. This talk, led by Benjamin Madley (a Yale University Doctoral student), will explore how strategies, methods, and personnel were transferred from California eastward to Arizona, Idaho, and the Great Plains. Specifically, Mr. Madley will focus on how California's Civil War volunteers brought new levels of violence to Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, thus informing the increasingly brutal conquest of the interior west in the 1860s and 1870s.
The impact of the Civil War on American society is rarely studied from this perspective; the impact of soldiers returning from war on the violence level of a society is a topic of concern to Americans to this day. We invite the campus community to join us to hear this original view of the settlement of the west. Bancroft Round Tables aim to highlight the breadth and importance of Bancroft collections for considering perspectives vital to our understanding of our place in the world today.
IEEE Xplore will be unavailable for approximately 4 hours starting at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 15 due to routine maintenance. IEEE Xplore provides access to journals, conferences, and standards published by IEEE and IET.
