Calvin Miller knows Art

You may already know from the Carroll Homepage that Calvin Miller is to be our featured speaker at the Spring Colloquy next month; you might even know the Colloquy topic will be "Christianity and Literature."

  • Does "Art" sound like an awfully broad topic to you? Go wide with Oxford Reference, or go deep by exploring the Cambridge Literary Histories in NexLearn's Cambridge Histories Online (CHO).
  • But what will the author of of a host of writings (like Spirit, Word and Story) say on this topic? Perhaps you can get a inkling reading some of his book reviews full text in OCLC FirstSearch via NexLearn; search for "Miller, Calvin" as a author, and read his take on Buechner's Son of Laughter, Hughes' Satan's Whispers, and Bailey and Blevin's Dramatic Monologues; Or consider his own exposition of "Genesis 1:26" from the journal Review and Expositor. Also, see what other reviewers and writers have to say about works by Dr. Miller.
  • Or branch out into the world of Interlibrary Loan by contacting me...

And a little more Education...

Some weeks are crazier than others, but in each one I try to add more Google books relevant to Carroll Disciplines to specially-designated Google Libraries. We have been chugging slowly uphill in the "Foundations of Education" area of concentration (also called MFFND here at BHCTI) in our BHCTILibraryToo account (affectionately referred to as "Too") for some time now, and will for some time to come. Click the link to review our progress!

It's an education

Just a few more "Foundations of Education" titles added today to 'Too; note the Google upgrade that changes our "Tags" (try Foundations of Education, or MFFND, or our broad Library of Congress Call Number setting LC) into "bookshelves." I'd call it a net gain, so far...

Education underweigh

The first new entries under our Foundations of Education area of concentration (subject cluster MFFND here at Carroll) are staring to appear on our collection of Full Text (i.e., full view) Google Book library at 'Too. Have a peak at what's developing...
