Have you ever needed a quality photo for a graphic design class or a class project? Here's some suggestions to help you flesh out your visual projects. These sites can also serve as art resources (for reference photos, etc). Also, every site that I'm sharing here shares photos, illustrations, vectors, and other visual material that are free-to-use for most uses without an attribution. That doesn't mean you shouldn't include an attribution; photographers are artists, too! But sometimes when you're short on digital space on a page and time needed to finish a project, it can help.

Do you know of a great free image site that I haven't listed? Let me know what it is in the comments, and I'll look into adding it to this post!
Also, as always, if you'd like specialized help with some homework or a recommended reading list, feel free to fill out the Study Buddy Help Form!

Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) presents a booklist called, Outstanding Books for the College Bound and Lifelong Learners, every five years for books that "offer opportunities to discover new ideas, and provide an introduction to the fascinating variety of subjects within an academic discipline". They are intended to help readers "gain an understanding of our diverse world and build a foundation to deepen their response to that world" (YALSA). Recently, YALSA released a new list, and I thought it might deepen someone's understanding of an academic subject area and was worth spotlighting. YALSA's booklist is broken down into five sections: Arts & Humanities, History & Cultures, Literature & Language Arts, Science & Technology, and Social Sciences. This is the first blog post of a five-part series that will cover all of these subjects and give you direct links to the titles from this booklist that we have access to at the Coeur d'Alene Public Library (at the time of posting). The links are here to help you quickly place holds or find out more information about a title. (Part 2/5: OBCB History & Culture can be found here.) Outstanding Books for the College Bound: Arts & Humanities
You're Welcome, Universe (by W. Gardner) We don't have access to every title on the list, but feel free to request that we purchase a missing title or format through our New Purchase Suggestion Form. This form is the best way to request things whether its a title that we don't have in any format, or even just not in your favorite format. Also, don't be afraid to submit a question about your homework or ask for some personalized reading recommendations. You can submit these types of questions anonymously through the Study Buddy Help Form at any time. If I think it needs to be addressed in the blog, I'll pause this series and address it.
I hope you find this helpful and interesting! |
