Electronic Highways: UB Celebrations Online

For example, the UB Sesquicentennial Celebration, which you can find at http://www.buffalo.edu/150/ has been widely publicized-and with good reason! The site includes UB news, events and facts. Included is a university history time line, "150 reasons why UB is an important part of your life," and a Sesqui 3-D animation page.

Other significant related celebrations include the University Libraries celebration of the acquisition of their 3 millionth and 3 millionth-and-first volumes. The Web resource to commemorate these events is called "Remembering the Past, Promoting the Present: 150 Years of Libraries at the University at Buffalo." This elaborate site ( http://wings.buffalo.edu/libraries/exhibits/3mill/) offers a great archival retrospective of the libraries at UB through rare photos that vividly recreate the growth of the libraries. The site includes a Directors Gallery, UB Library Scenes, UB Library History, and more.

Another great UB celebration captured on the Web is the 70^th birthday celebration of UB poet Robert Creeley. "Robert Creeley: A 70^th Birthday Celebration" reproduces a Jim Dine painting made for the event and includes a list of events that took place during the celebration, a review with event photographs, excerpts of poetry by Creeley, links to other Creeley resources (including sound files of Creeley reading in LINEbreak) and a recognition of the Arshile 6 tribute to Creeley. You can explore these rich literary offerings online at http://wings.buffalo.edu/epc/authors/creeley/70th/.

Anyone with a UB e-mail account can access the Web. For information about getting an e-mail account please contact the ASCIT Help Desk at 645-3542. UB's spirit of celebration is just a Web page away!
