The NMTC Bookstore has a web site for student and faculty convenience. Lines have been notorious on the first day of class as students try to purchase books before class. Now students can order their textbooks online and receive them at home! No more lines. Students will be able to have their books with them on the first day without standing in line at the bookstore.
Check out the NMTC Bookstore on-line at www.nmetrobookstore.com.
Payment for books purchased on-line will be by credit card only (no scholarship/grant money can be used on-line). The NMTC Bookstore accepts- Master Card, Visa, American Express, Discover.
The Spring 2006 books should be on the Web Site by March 1. (Early registration for Spring quarter is March 2 - so you could register on-line then purchase your books on-line.)

A picture is worth 1000 words
The collection is primarily what we would call snapshots of life. There are a few formal portraits. My favorite snapshot is the "woman with her hands on her hips" (page 2, right hand column).
"Robert E. Williams Photographic Collection: African-Americans in the Augusta, Ga. Vicinity (Richmond Co.) consists of 86 Glass plate negatives and positive prints of African-Americans in the Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia area. Robert E. Williams, an African-American photographer, operated a studio, R. Williams and Son, in Augusta, Georgia, from 1888 until around 1908. The photographs depict dwellings and domestic chores, rituals of baptism, harvesting and transporting cotton, vehicles and transportation, and children and family life. 84 of the images are presented online, as two of the negatives are copies.

Civil Rights
And you thought the Civil Rights movement blossomed in the 1960's. Read these letters from the 1860's to see how freed black people were striving to be a part of the political process.
"The Civil Unrest in Camilla, Georgia, 1868 collection, located at the DeSoto Trail Library and comprised of photostatic copies from the Freedman's Bureau records held by the National Archives, consists of letters, affidavits, reports and a newspaper clipping relating to a violent episode in Camilla, Georgia. The incident occurred on September 19, 1868 when freedmen, together with Republicans W.P. Pierce, John Murphy and F.F. Putney attempted to hold a political rally, and were met with opposition from the white townspeople of Camilla. The dates of the documents largely span from September 19 through October of 1868 and include correspondence between Caleb Chase Sibley, assistant commissioner for the Freedmen’s Bureau in the state of Georgia, the Commissioner, Oliver Otis Howard, the Secretary of War John M. Schofield, and George Gordon Meade, military commander of the Third Military District in Georgia, as well as lesser-known Bureau agents’ correspondence, reports and affidavits containing first hand accounts of the incident from freedmen and others.

I'm bored
Some school districts are taking a winter break this week. What do you do with the children when they are home day after day?
Our Early Childhood Education program has a collection of resources for planning activities. One item is: The Complete Resource Book: An Early Childhood Curriculum by Pam Schiller (LB 1140.4 .S35 1998). The book offers "a complete plan for every day of every week of the year, this book can also be an excellent reference book for responding to children's specific interests."
When the child says, "I'm bored, there's nothing to do" - the resources in the LB section may offer you ideas for activities and projects to keep those idle hands busy.
