Memorial Library would like to extend thanks to all students who participated in our survey. Megan Swanson was the lucky winner of a Fitbit Flex, which was provided by the Friends of the Library.
We hope that in addition to raising our awareness of students’ research needs, that the survey also raised students’ awareness of the Research Help services available to them. As we head into the second half of the semester, we would like to encourage students to seek help when needed. Librarians can help you: narrow your research topic, develop search strategies, identify and access resources, cite sources, and learn to use citation managers and other research tools.
Students can request one-on-one Research Help appointments with a librarian that specializes in their field of study. Students can also drop by the Research Help Desk in the main lobby of Memorial Library, contact a librarian by phone (call 607-753-2590 or text 607-341-7883), or email us at research@cortland.edu. Chat is also available in any library resource with the green “Click to Ask a Librarian” button.
Mary Cope, General Falconer, accompanied by her Red-tailed Hawks, Kestrel, and Owls, will talk to us about birds of prey and her experience learning falconry.
Join us!

From Oscar®-and Emmy®-nominated filmmaker Kirby Dick(This Film Is Not Yet Rated; Twist of Faith) comes The Invisible War, a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of America’s most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military. The film paints a startling picture of the extent of the problem—today, a female soldier in combat zones is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. The Department of Defense estimates there were a staggering 22,800 violent sex crimes in the military in 2011. 20% of all active-duty female soldiers are sexually assaulted. Female soldiers aged 18 to 21 accounted for more than half of the victims.
Focusing on the powerfully emotional stories of rape victims, The Invisible War is a moving indictment of the systemic cover-up of military sex crimes, chronicling the women’s struggles to rebuild their lives and fight for justice. It also features hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and members of Congress that reveal the perfect storm of conditions that exist for rape in the military, its long-hidden history, and what can be done to bring about much-needed change.
