Get a Free Copy of Outcasts United: An American Town, A Refugee Team
The One Book One Community selection for fall will be Outcasts United: An American Town, A Refugee Team by Warren St. John. “In several ways this is a perfect choice for One Book, One Community,” said selection committee co-chair Kevin Fitzpatrick. “It’s about a community coming together to deal with change and conflict. Every community in this country faces these kinds of issues.” If you would like a copy of the book, please email Molly Boyd by Friday, 8/14.

It’s. Getting. Real.
You’re likely (frantically?) updating PowerPoints, handouts, and email templates, so it’s a good time to update to the Libraries’ new web address, too. Please change all mentions, bookmarks, and links to: libraries.uark.edu. Although Microsoft Office doesn’t automatically create a live link if you leave off the http, you can go back and create a hyperlink by right-clicking on the highlighted word or phrase you wish to link and choosing Hyperlink. You can create a live link in Acrobat the same way – just highlight what you want to link, right click, and choose Create Link. Let me know if you have any problems with using linking features or if you have any questions about updating your materials.
