Exhibit: The End of Civil War in Louisiana

A new exhibit in the Main Hallway explores the end of the Civil War in Louisiana.

1865 was a year of transition, as armies surrendered and soldiers and refugees returned to their homes. Four years of fighting had altered the landscape and upended the social order. Presidential policies dominated reconstruction efforts, focusing on restoring the civil rights of former rebels and on giving former slaves the education and employment they needed. The situation was unprecedented, and all parties seemed to have their own strong opinions on what needed to be done.

New Service: Screenleap Screen Sharing App

Dupré Library was recently awarded grant funding by the UL Lafayette Division of Academic Affairs to purchase a one-year subscription to Screenleap, a multi-platform, cross-browser screen sharing application that allows users to immediately share their desktop and laptop screen with others. The library will use the application to improve its instructional and reference services for students and faculty. Reference librarians will use one account to share their screen with remote users to directly demonstrate library resources.
