New Resource!

The Tarver Library recently purchased an unedited version of Vasari's Lives of the Artists. It's a two volume set currently located on the new book shelf with the call number, N6915.V3222513 1996. What makes this set better than the others? Well first its unedited. Second, in the translator note, he mentions that he preferred erring on the side of the author and keeping to the original language, rather than modernizing it. So take a look!

World's oldest animation...

A new article thats making its rounds across the internet is being billed as the worlds oldest animation, over 5,000 years old! Nope its not animation as we know it now, but researches noticed that the pictures formed a series of a goat (or a similar creature) jumping for food. Here's one of the original articles on the artifact. Very cool to see that there was someone over 5,000 years ago already thinking of telling stories in new ways.
