BILS, BILS, BILS

No, not this kind of bills. I'm talking about Building Information Literacy Skills (BILS) which is part of the Computer Profiency requirement every student must meet before graduating.

Lila has a new guide covering a range of skills you need to know from narrowing a topic to avoiding plagiarism and everything in between. Spend a little time with this and you'll pass that BILS test on the first try. Check it out!

From Here…To The Top! : Belmont Music Alumni

Did you know that the list of Belmont music alums includes some very famous faces? If not, come check out the display on the first floor! The display was curated and researched by Graduate Music Student Beth Pirtle with assistance from Music Librarian Lina Terjesen and Reference and Instruction Librarian Judy Williams. It features photos and information about such noted alumni as Trisha Yearwood, Ashley Gorley, Steven Curtis Chapman, Brad Paisley, and Vince Gill. There is also a second “satellite” display on the 3rd floor that features historic programs from the Ward-Belmont Conservatory, taped interviews with Minnie Pearl, and alumni albums from the collection in the Listening/Viewing Center.

Library Catalog Gets a Facelift!
