Logue Library has a new App "Logue Link!"

 

Through the Fall, 2021 semester,

Logue Library has worked with the Computer Science Department to create an App to download on an Android or an Apple Device.  Chestnut Hill College's library is the first to have such a personal Library App.

The App, Logue Link, is like an Arcade Claw Machine.  Students will win every time by linking library resources such as academic journals' articles, books, tutorials, and streaming content.

So, how did Logue Link start?

Logue Dean, Sister Mary Jo Larkin, wondered if there was a way that patrons could get resources from the library using a handheld. The next question was, "how would it get developed?" 

Logue's Systems Librarian, Jacqueline Presley,  who recently created a new Website for the library decided to grab Sister Mary Jo's question and run with it.

Ms. Presley proposed a collaborative project with Chestnut Hill's   Computer Science Department. So they were contacted to see if they can assist us with this concept.

 

 

 Susan Ceklosky, M.S., Instructor in Computer Science, CHC.

A request Pam King, M.S who manages programs in the Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity connected Ms. Presley to Susan Ceklosky, Instructor in Computer Science, who agreed to help the idea become reality.

Here is a question and answer session with Professor Ceklosky:

Ms. Ceklosky found the perfect student to work on this Logue Link

 

 Mustaf Nuredini, Class of 2022 

Computer Science Major at Chestnut Hill College

 

Mustaf Nuredini, a 2018 graduate from Methacton High School will graduate in May, 2022 with a degree in Computer Science was the perfect candidate.  His future career goal is to work in Software Development.  Mustaf commented on this opportunity, "When I was approached by the library to create an app, I was thrilled to experience what I want to do as a career.  I am happy to have been part of this project.  It feels like I am part of history being involved in the first Library App for a college or university."

" A BeatLab Christmas" Connects with Logue Library

Logue Library staff wanted to send another Christmas Greeting to the CHC Community.  In a previous blog, they videotaped the reading of the book, The Night Before Christmas."

However, they wanted to do something extra that had a little Christmas music with it as well. Then an good idea emerged....

Chestnut Hill College's BeatLab, is a successful project that merges student creativity through beats, songs and messages of social justice. 

This project was created by Professor Jeffrey Carroll, Chair of the Center for Data and Society and Assistant Professor of Political Science.  So we approached Professor Carroll to see if he could help us with our request.  

Professor Carroll said yes and now here it is below the Christmas Collaboration!

 

 Logue Library would like to wish the CHC Community:

Merry Christmas from Logue Library! Our Reading from, "The Night Before Christmas"

During this time of Advent, we reflect on old Christmas traditions.

 

 

From Christianity.com "The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

 

For example, you may remember the book, The Night Before Christmas."  

 

According to Penguin Books,

 

 Author: Clement Clarke Moore - Jan Brett  (Illustrator)

This year, Logue Library staff and co-workers have decided to create a video reading of this Christmas poem.  We would all like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and have A Happy New Year!  We hope that you enjoy this video!

 Here is the video

Let's Commemorate the 80th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor!

This year marks the 80th Anniversary of the historic attack on Pearl Harbor back on December 7, 1941.  This U.S. Naval Base is located near Honolulu, Hawaii, an area that received an surprise attack by the Japanese and subsequently, led to a Declaration of War on Japan. 

 

 

The attack from the Japanese Military was completed within a two hour time frame.  By 8:00 am the planes covered the American sky and bombs tore through the first battleship the USS Arizona and continued throughout the entire Hickman Air Force Base.

Sadly, more than 2400 Americans (Military and Civilians), died and 1,000 people were wounded. Below is list from History.com regarding the damage received early on that Sunday morning in the year of 1941.

                     Damage                                 Total

           American Naval Vessels                     20

           Battleships                                            8

           Airplanes                                           300

History.com commented, "because American military leaders were not expecting an attack so close to home, the naval facilitates at Pearl Harbor were relatively undefeated.  Almost the entire Pacific Fleet was moored around Ford Island in the harbor, and hundreds of airplanes were squeezed onto adjacent airfields."

Mitsuo Fuchida, the Japanese Captain who used the code word, "Tora! Tora! Tora!" before the attack, would later convert to Christianity and travel across the United States Preaching the Gospel.
