Friends of the Library

Friends and Stars
An Evening of Community Performing Artists

Entertainment is the focus for the 2012 WSSU Friends of the Library fundraising event. Friends and Stars: An Evening of Community Performing Artists will be held Friday, November 2, 2012 at the Greek Orthodox Church, Hellenic Fellowship Hall on 435 Keating Drive, Winston-Salem. Tickets are $50 for adults and $25 for students. Advertisement opportunities are available in the printed program. The price range is $75 for a business card size ad to $600 for a full page (8x10)

The evening will be an Ed Sullivan old school variety show for the young generation “Winston-Salem’s Got Talent.” As Master of Ceremony, Lorenzo Meachum will offer up a lot of free-wheeling fun and old school charm. His fifteen year relationship with the WSSU Friends of the Library makes his name synonymous with the organization. During those years he has shared his diverse talents by producing One Man One Show, which featured the writings of Langston Hughes and most recently he served as the master of ceremony for HisStory.

New school entertainment will include spoken word performances by Winston-Salem natives CNDestiny and Jeannette Stackhouse. CNDestiny uses a unique combination of words and music to engage her audience. Most recently she performed for Marvstastic Talent Extravaganza - a regional Talent Competition sponsored by the NC Black Repertory Theatre and the Centennial CIAA Basketball Tournament. Stackhouse is a 2012 honor graduate of Glenn High School where she had an outstanding record as a scholar, athlete and performing artist. She was a 2011 Rotary Club Scholar, captain of the 2010-11 track team and Glenn High School 2009-10 Poet Laureate. She is a freshman at UNC-Chapel Hill. She has been commissioned to pen and present a homily to Faustina L Holman our beloved former professor of music.

Heavenly Mimes Dance group from High Point and the Winston-Salem Greek Orthodox Cultural Dancers will share their talents. Both groups are very energetic and provide visually appealing performances. A repeat performance from the Devine Institute will complete the dance segment. These young performers offered a powerful demonstration of Alvin Ailey’s modern dance techniques during the FOL 25th Anniversary Celebration. Their performance will be a special tribute to Gerald L. Pauling, Sr. a loyal supporter and member of the planning committee.

The WSSU music department along with other community performers will provide the music for the evening. Robert Hairston, a member of the Emmanuel Baptist Church Choir will wow the audience with his beautiful voice.

You don’t want to miss this event! Program your personal digital assistant for 6:30 pm. The performances will start at 6:30 and continue throughout the evening. Guests will be able to taste a variety of food from stations throughout the evening.

Oxford Reference Online Relaunch

Oxford Reference is delighted to announce that a new site will be launching on the 19th of September for Oxford Reference Online. You can preview the change by accessing this resource. Most importantly, may be the following, regarding updating links and bookmarks:
Bookmarks for specific titles will have automatic redirects in place to the new title homepage on Oxford Reference. They are unable to provide a direct mapping of entry level and public page content from the old sites to the new, so the user will need to update bookmarks manually by visiting the new site and locating the new pages. They advise that people update their bookmarks as soon as they can after the launch.
Public Pages: all public pages on the old site will be improved and transferred to the new site; thereafter users will not be able to access public pages on the old site.
Search boxes: the existing Oxford Reference Online search box which you may have embedded will no longer work after the new site launches. They will be in contact when a new search box is available for to download.

Why won’t my document print?

You just put the finishing touches on an 8 page paper, which you painstakingly gathered information for, and now comes the moment for which you have been waiting. You go to the File tab on Microsoft Word and you go down to the print option. With a smile across your face, you click print. You take out your Ram Card and go to the print station. You take hold of the mouse to select your document on the screen, only to see that it is not there. So, you return to your computer and hit print again and sprint back to the print station. Wait a minute. It is still not there. What is going on? You go back to the computer for a third time. You click print, and when you get to the print station, there is still no document. You have forgotten to ask yourself a question that you must always ask yourself when printing in the library; “Is my computer aligned to the right printer?”

To find out how to print when this situation arises, see this article
To find out more about printing, copying, your Ram Card and depositing funds, see this article
