Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.
For over a decade, some academic libraries have been purchasing,
rather than borrowing, recently published books requested by their
patrons through interlibrary loan. These books had one circulation
guaranteed and so appealed to librarians who were concerned about
the large percentage of books selected and purchased by librarians
but never checked out by their patrons. Early assessments of the
projects indicated that patrons selected quality books that in many
cases were cross disciplinary and covered emerging areas of
scholarly interest. However, now we have a significant database of
the ILL purchase records to compare these titles with books
selected through normal methods. The projects described in this
book present a powerful argument for involving patrons in the book
selection process.
This book looks at patron-driven acquisitions for printed books
at Purdue University, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the
University of Illinois, as well as exploring new programs that
allow patrons to select e-books or participate in other innovative
ways in building the library collections.

In 1888 in Victoria, Texas, for a simple job, a Chicago private eye
gets caught up in the poker game to end all poker games. Shannon, a
Chicago private detective, returns home to Galveston, Texas for a
wedding. Galveston’s new rabbi asks Shannon to find Nathan
Silverberg, gone missing along with a group of swindlers who claim
to be soliciting money for a future colony of Romanian Jewish
refugees. What seems to be a simple job soon pushes Shannon into
stranger territory. His investigations lead him to a malevolent
white-haired gambler, monstrous sand dune totems, and a group of
skull-headed poker players trapped in an endless loop of cards and
alcohol, who may be his only means to survive the business. With
The Silverberg Business, Robert Freeman Wexler has delivered a
gloriously strange hard-boiled tale that crosses genres and defies
expectations.

The Crisis of Classical Music in America by Robert Freeman focuses
on solutions for the oversupply of classically trained musicians in
America, problem that grows ever more chronic as opportunities for
classical musicians to gain full-time professional employment
diminishes year upon year. An acute observer of the professional
music scene, Freeman argues that music schools that train our
future instrumentalists, composers, conductors, and singers need to
equip their students with the communications and analytical skills
they need to succeed in the rapidly changing music scene. This book
maps a broad range of reforms required in the field of advanced
music education and the organizations responsible for that
education. Featuring a foreword by Leonard Slatkin, music director
of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, The Crisis of Classical Music in
America speaks to parents, prospective and current music students,
music teachers and professors, department deans, university
presidents and provosts, and even foundations and public
organizations that fund such music programs. This book reaches out
to all of these stakeholders and argues for meaningful change
though wide-spread collaboration.
