Super Conference 2006: Thursday's Line-up

Session #603 3:45 pm-5:00 pm

GRAPHIC NOVELS IN THE ACADEMIC LIBRARY, HUH?
Alexander Affleck, Librarian University of Windsor Leddy Library
Scholars are discovering the artistic and cultural value of both historic and contemporary creations. Across North America these sophisticated works are being incorporated into university courses on Literature, Political Science, Communication Studies, and more. Responding to this interest, many academic libraries have begun collecting graphic novels. The University of Windsor’s Leddy Library has been in the forefront of this movement and has developed a rich collection for its faculty and students. Learn the history of graphic novels and explore their application to academic courses.
