"Learning to read … means learning to live. Keeping your eyes open when you’re looking at a book is just a way of teaching yourself to keep them open all the time."

--William Deresiewicz

This has nothing to do with anything I teach, but you can now hear the sounds of the Assyrian and Babylonian languages:  Babylonian and Assyrian Poetry and Literature: An Archive of Recordings: SOAS.

Ebrary Access.  Off-campus access to the Ebrary electronic book database has changed. In addition to using the user name and password, you will also need to enter a WVU Parkersburg library card number. This is the 15 digit number under the barcode on the back of the card. If you need a card, please contact a member of the library staff. Contact Stephen Hupp at 418 for additional information.
