The Science & Engineering Library has launched a new exhibit, curated by Mariann Medina, highlighting SEL’s most recommended databases. The intention is to inform science and engineering students and faculty of the online research resources that are available to them.

A new exhibit begins today in the Science & Engineering Library, curated by Mariann Medina.
Here is a description from the curator: “The May SEL exhibit showcases our resources related to a current event – the move from analog TV to digital TV. Thanks to the engineering work done in the area of television by students and faculty just like you, the march of technological progress continues. The resources displayed in the exhibit show not only items to support digital TV and its use via HDTV, but it also showcases items that show the history of television and the things that came before. While some of you may not remember watching the original broadcasts of “I Love Lucy” on one of the first commercially available televisions, we can probably all agree that television has come a long way. The question is, what comes next?”
Comments are on. Please share your ideas about where television technology is taking us.
Sustainability in the Science & Engineering Library
Texans worth their salt, know the bluebonnet is our state flower. The blooms turn to seed resulting in new blooms next season for later generations to see and admire.
The Science & Engineering Library has mounted an exhibit in conjunction with Central Library and the Architecture & Fine Arts Library to promote awareness of the University of Texas at Arlington involvement in sustainability in all areas of the university community.
Just like bluebonnets which when left alone, turn to seed pods to form a fresh crop the following spring, we, as citizen of the earth must be good stewards of what has been given us. Across disciplines, sustainability is a prime research area. The University has been recognized as a leader in sustainability research and sustaining the environment of the campus and community.
SEL’s new exhibit celebrates diversity in the fields of science and engineering. Curated by Antoinette Nelson, the exhibit highlights our collection’s biographical resources focusing on a wide range of scientists and engineers who have broken through barriers and impacted society with lasting contributions.

And hats off to our faculty and students here at UTA whose research may one day earn them a trip to Sweden to receive their own Nobel Prize…
SEL invites you to visit a new exhibit, curated by Barbara Howser.
Whether you are biology major with a career goal of becoming an environmental scientist, civil engineering major focusing on transportation research, or environmental engineering graduate student focusing on water and wastewater treatment and modeling, the technology of GIS can bring geography to life for you and show others why geography IS important to them.

The Science & Engineering Library presents Supramolecular Chemistry, an exhibit dedicated to the memory of Dr. Dmitry M. Rudkevich and curated by Antoinette Nelson.
Dr. Rudkevich taught in the chemistry department since the fall of 2001, specializing in supramolecular chemistry of gases and volatiles, and synthetic nanochemistry and materials. His work was important for its wide-ranging applications in creating a cleaner environment and a more accurate, safer delivery of medication. He sought to bring chemistry to a larger audience by providing solutions to practical problems and “demonstrate an innovative approach to chemistry education at all levels.”
We hope this tribute helps to mourn his early loss and celebrate his many achievements. His warm smile and friendly wave will be missed.
