UAA/APU Consortium Library

Feeling a bit nostalgic today... was this really a year ago? 📸✨

If you’ve stopped by the UAA/APU Consortium Library lately, you’ve definitely noticed some major changes under way. (Huge thanks for bearing with us through the dust and noise!)

We figured if the inside is getting a makeover, why shouldn't our front entrance get one, too? 😉

Stay tuned to see what’s coming next! 🏗️📚

It’s Friday and we still have a moth friend or two hanging out at the Library! 🦋✨

Let’s see where our Scarlet-Winged Lichen Moth (Clemensia albata) is hiding today...

Looks like she’s deep in the Archives doing a little digging on her moth ancestors! 📜🔍 While she’s down there, maybe she’ll check out AMIPA (Alaska Moving Image Preservation Association) to see if they have any cool archival footage to match her research. 🎞️🍿

PS: Here's a link to the guide to the Charles Sawyer Wilson collection our friend is checking out... https://archives.consortiumlibrary.org/collections/specialcollections/hmc-0416

These were his class assignments from his Entomology 124 class at UC Berkeley.

🌿 Speaking of resources… Have you visited ARLIS yet? 🔍 That’s where the Galium Sphinx Moth (Hyles gallii) is hanging out in the stacks!

ARLIS has an incredible collection focused on the natural and cultural resources of Alaska and the Arctic—covering geology, ecology, mining, climatology, wildlife, and more. 🏔️🐻

A vast physical & digital collection

Where are our fuzzy, winged friends hanging out today? 🌸✨

The Hummingbird Moth (Hemaris sp.) is stopping by Access Services at the Circulation Desk! She loves that she can check out laptops, pick up course reserves, and even borrow anatomy models! 💻📚🧠

Speaking of anatomy, check out our visitor over at the Alaska Medical Library offices! This One-Eyed Sphinx Moth (Smerinthus cerisyi) loves dropping by for a little boost on her nursing assignments. 🩺🦋
