Belk Library

As Elon celebrates the 125th anniversary of its founding, a weeklong contest testing knowledge of university history begins today with a chance for students, faculty and staff to win prizes.

Katie Nash, special Collections librarian and archivist, and Marna Winter, lecturer in the School of Education, presented at the annual LAUNC-CH conference in Chapel Hill, N.C., on March 10, 2014.

Voting is open until early March for six $200 awards that recognize the most popular entries of the university's Human Rights and Social Justice Writing Contest sponsored by the Writing Excellence Initiative.

The LIFE@ELON history book club meetings for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (Feb. 11-13) are cancelled.  Meetings are rescheduled for Monday, Feb. 17, at 3:30 p.m. and Thursday, Feb. 20, at 10:30 a.m.

The promotional video was filmed by Teaching and Learning Technologies last fall as a fun way to teach students about the people and products available to assist them in Belk Library.

A textbook by Elon University's Joel Karty is one of a kind as a growing number of college professors incorporate into their instruction the same organizational methods and teaching techniques that Karty promotes.

Hundreds of university publications, documents and images were made available late last fall to online visitors of the Digital Public Library of America.

In “The Civilizing Machine: A Cultural History of Mexican Railroads, 1876-1910,” Elon University Assistant Professor Michael Matthews shows how railroads shaped the way citizens of the young republic viewed industrialization, technology & modernization as they struggled to form their national identity.

The professor emeritus will lead efforts to preserve Elon University's history.
