Cool@Hoole thought it\u2019d be fun to feature our staff\u2019s favorites from among our collections. After all, closed stacks collections mean that users rely on us to know our materials in and out so that we can share the best resources for their classes or research. Along the way, we\u2019ve not only become experts on our holdings, but also found items that we are particularly drawn to ourselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, just as bookstores have \u201cstaff favorites\u201d or \u201cstaff recommendation\u201d shelves, we\u2019ll\u00a0have occasional\u00a0blog posts\u00a0showing our best picks from Hoole. Read about April Burnett<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0Ashley Bond<\/a>, Allyson Holliday<\/a>, and Kevin Ray<\/a>‘s\u00a0favorites in previous posts.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

CLIR Postdoctoral Fellow Amy Chen’s favorite item is\u00a0Higinii, hystorigraphi et phylosophi argutissimi libri quattuor non solum poeticas & hystoricas verum et astronomicas<\/em> (Rare Books\u00a0QB41 .H9 1517<\/a>).<\/strong> Amy found this book by accident when pulling resources for a student interested in the history of astronomy. While the student did not request this particular book, she couldn’t resist opening it up when she was looking due to the beauty of the binding. She is captivated by the book’s age and its gorgeous illustrations of constellations.<\/p>\n
