The Reed Library received the papers of Charles Rhyne, Professor Emeritus, from his wife, Barbara, after his death on April 14, 2013. The exhibit displays selected materials representing the breadth of his research and dedication to teaching, art conservation, high quality digital imagery and the use of the web, the paintings of John Constable, art exhibitions, and his three important scholarly websites.
Located in the Library flat cases just past the circulation desk.
Have questions about the new Library System? Why did the Library change to this new system? What are those colored dots? Will the databases go away? And other questions?

We have created a brief FAQ and will be adding more content to help with searching the new system. If you have more questions, please contact your library liaison, personal librarian or head to the Reference desk. We’ll be adding more content in the coming weeks.
During Paideia, the Data @ Reed team will be bringing in a speaker on the fundamentals of data visualization. Her name is Jackie Wirz, and she works in instruction and research support at OHSU Library. She frequently travels to give talks on data visualization, data curation, and data management, and she is exuberant and knowledgeable about these topics. Her talk will be modeled after one that some of the Data @ Reed team saw her give last fall, and will be accessible and informative to students and faculty from all disciplines. No prior experience with data visualization is necessary.
This talk will take place on Thursday, January 23rd, from 12:30 – 1:30 pm in Psych 105. There will be plenty of time for questions, and light refreshments will be served at the end of the session.
We’re excited to be bringing Jackie to Reed to speak about data visualization, and we hope to see you there!

New Library System – Introduction (Click to open in a new window/tab).
At the end of December 2013, we will migrate to a new library system for finding books, articles, and more. The new Reed Library System will help you find the information and materials you’re looking for at the Reed Library and beyond.
This migration is part of a major cooperative effort of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, a consortium of 37 academic libraries across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Reed has been a member of the Alliance, which provides Summit borrowing for our community, since 1995. As a consortium, we share services, technologies, and collections, and this move from 37 systems to a single shared library system is a major step forward in our collaboration. By sharing one system, we’ll improve the research experience for our students and faculty and better manage all of our resources.

Library flat cases and wall case
From the first class in Russian grammar in 1939 to the Russian Language House to students’ Russian travels, Reed has long been interested in things Russian. On display is a selection of Russian materials from the library’s special collections: maps, photographs, rare books, propaganda posters, and materials related to Russian faculty and student travels.
The new Library System is coming on December 23, 2013. Learn about the new system at an info session, open to all members of the Reed community. If you are unable to make it to one of the sessions, talk to a librarian about the new interface. Refreshments will be served at all sessions.

Library Flat Cases
A. E. Doyle (1877-1928), perhaps the most important Portland architect, designed the iconic first buildings at Reed–Eliot Hall and the Old Dorm Block. Anna Mann, Prexy, the Student Union, and the Woodstock Houses followed soon after. Appointed to the Reed Board of Regents in 1919, he was integral to campus history until his death. Reed acquired his architectural library in the 1990s.
