Dear Students,

We want to hear what you think about the Library! Here's your chance to tell us what you think, so please take a moment and complete this survey. As a bonus, you may become eligible to receive a $25 gift card to Jewel-Osco or some cool movie swag from Warner Brothers. The swag and the movie, you ask? INVICTUS t-shirts, baseball caps, posters, books movie passes and cds!

INVICTUS (latin for "unconquered") is Clint Eastwood's latest film, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon and is based upon John Carlin's New York Times bestselling book, Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Changed a Nation.

The survey will be available through the end of the year, so there is still time!

Archie Lieberman Photographs and Collection

A collection of photographs by Archie Lieberman are on display in the library through January 25th. The collection is viewable on the Library 2nd Floor West, 3rd Floor West, and 3rd Floor North.

The Columbia College Chicago Archives holds the definitive collection of Archie Lieberman material that chronicles the professional, creative life of this working photographer and author.


The Archie Lieberman Collection contains the work of a professional photojournalist from the 1950s to the early 2000s. His photographs appeared in magazines such as Look, Life, and Time and he worked for Black Star Agency and for corporations like Land’s End, Acme Steel, and Inland Steel. His photographs have been exhibited in the United States and abroad and he also was author of or photographer for over twenty books. The job notebooks he kept allows access to the many prints, slides, negatives, correspondence, and photographs in his collection.

His passion for his work is best seen in two the multi-decade photographic projects, Farm Boy and Neighbors, that capture American farm life in Illinois. He also worked with Ray Bradbury to produce The Mummies of Guanajuato, with his photographs of the preserved corpses in that Mexican town that accompany Bradbury’s text, and with novelist Meyer Levin on The Story of Israel.
