Refreshments will be provided. White recently returned from Poland, his first return visit since the Holocaust, and he will speak about those experiences and much more. He is a well-known, inspiring, articulate and dynamic speaker.
* In an effort to reduce growing serial costs within a climate of ongoing budgetary constraints, the University Libraries have recently compiled lists of journals and monographic serial subscriptions to be canceled based on cost-per-use and availability in full-text databases. Information about those titles is available at http://libresources.wichita.edu/serialsreviewfy15.
