Join us for a special speaker event featuring Professor Amanda Horton, our 2026 Faculty Book and Materials Grant winner!

Professor Horton proposed that the library invest in physical media, specifically vinyl records, highlighting the resurgence of vinyl and its potential to support a variety of courses and benefit students across campus.

During this event, Amanda will discuss the importance of vinyl as a form of physical media, why she believes it is valuable for students and academic courses, and which records were purchased through the grant funding.

Whether you’re a vinyl enthusiast, a music lover, or simply curious about how physical media can support learning, we’d love to have you join us!
