Mississippi digital library

In research for this blogging project, I came across the Mississippi digital collections that are accessible through the USM library site. This collection is of pictures of the Katrina aftermath. These pictures are of the Cox library pre and post Katrina respectively. Check these out at: http://collections.msdiglib.org/cdm4/results.php?&CISOVIEWTMP=item_viewer.php&CISOMODE=grid&CISOGRID=thumbnail,A,1;title,A,1;descri,A,0;none,A,0;none,A,0;20;title,data,none,none,none&CISOBIB=title,A,1,N;descri,A,0,N;none,200,0,N;none,A,0,N;none,A,0,N;20;title,data,none,none,none&CISOTHUMB=20%20(4x5);title,none,none,none,none&CISOTITLE=20;title,none,none,none,none&CISOHIERA=20;title,creato,data,none,none&CISOSUPPRESS=1&CISOTYPE=browse&CISOROOT=/katrina&CISOSTART=1,21

The Editorial Cartoon's digital collection

As a political science major I got a kick out of the digital collection of editorial cartoons that are available to view. This one is called "As In Veto" by cartoonist John Riedell. The entire collection is available to view at the following address: http://digilib.usm.edu/cdm4/results.php?CISOROOT=/cartoon.

The Payne Center

Honestly, the only non class facility that I ever really have time to visit is the Payne Center. It is a really great resource if you work out on a regular basis. Having access to the exercise track and equipment right on campus is really nice. Check it out on the site: http://www.usm.edu/recsports/FACpayne.html
