The collection on display at McKee Library is a retrospective display of the legacy art of John Fleming Gould (1906 - 1996). Gould had a long and prolific career as an artist/illustrator.

Visitors and students will glimpse the early Pratt Institute student work and pulp illustrations of the 1930's. Saturday Evening Post and Redbook magazine work is also featured.

Collaborative Floor Guidelines To ensure a quality study environment for all McKee Library patrons, we are enforcing several guidelines regarding the usage of the collaborative floor. While students can work collaboratively on the main floor, conversations should not disrupt those around them.

Key points include: No shared meals or food deliveries. Individual meals in covered containers are allowed.

Furniture cannot be moved, and tables are limited to four people.

The library is a place of study. Social gatherings should take place elsewhere on campus.

Please contact Deyse Bravo with any questions regarding these guidelines.

PowerNotes for Faculty

WSJ Instructor Suite

The PowerNotes outline is a powerful instructional tool. At any point in the research process, students can share an outline of their current research with the click of a button. This allows instructors to request that students turn in outlines periodically without imposing any additional burden beyond the necessary work of gathering and analyzing sources.

This PowerNotes feature provides educators with several new instructional opportunities, including direct ways of providing feedback for your students.

We invite you to learn more at southern.libguides.com/powernotes.

With the WSJ Instructor Suite, you can easily integrate curated world-class content directly into your courses.

Choose from straightforward teaching resources to inspire critical thinking and help students apply academic theory beyond the classroom.
