Research Orientation at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. 

The Department of English and Language Arts sponsored a trip to the Library of Congress (LOC) to explore research opportunities and participate in instruction on research and bibliographic discovery. Moreover, students were designated as researchers and received 2-year LOC reader’s cards. The research topic was lynching in support of the 6^th Annual Quarles Conference hosted by the College of Liberal Arts.  The Special Collections staff prepared exhibits of holdings on Geography and Maps, Newspaper and Periodicals, Prints and Photographs, and Music that reflected the research theme of lynching in the U.S.
