Ghostly Apparition Spotted in the Library
Posted by Maggie Stewart on Aug 28, 2008
Stately red robes viewed through the doors of the Special Collections Room in the Library. One hand rests on the podium, the other steadies a book – he seems to be lecturing. Is it the ghost of John Jay, co-author of the Federalist Papers and first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court?
…. Or is it just an optical illusion reflecting the portrait of John Jay hung across the hall. Stop by the library and see for yourself. The illusion is most prominent at night and when the Special Collections room is dark.

New Journal Issues Have Moved
Posted by Maggie Stewart on Aug 11, 2008
The library is beginning a small renovation project to the area behind the Reference Desk on the Delaware Campus. Previously, this room (then known as the Open Reserve Room) housed the newest issues of all law journals as well as legal newpapers. These materials have been moved to the area between the reference desk and the student lounge. We have also moved some other materials into the stacks or reference area. The study aids (Hornbooks, Nutshells, Sum & Substance CDs, etc.) will continue to reside in this room. Please see a reference librarian if you have any trouble locating material that has moved.

As you may have noticed our Widener blog pages have a new look. I’m writing this post in the doldrums of early August to try out the new software and see how everything works.
We’re all looking for forward to the return of our students and faculty. Hope you’re all enjoying your summer break!
