Lopez '08 creates 'confession booth'

/ The Dartmouth Staff To complete a project for her Figure Sculpture class, Jennifer Lopez '08 had lofty aspirations: She hoped to create an experience that would inspire dialogue on campus and provide students with an outlet to anonymously express their innermost thoughts and feelings. To execute this idea, Lopez designed and created an oversized rectangular booth that stood in the Hopkins Center for the Arts last week. According to her plan, students would enter the booth one at a time and write down "confessions" on a piece of paper, and she would then type these confessions and use them to cover the booth. The number of confessions exceeded the expected amount, prompting Lopez to keep the booth open for more two days than she had originally intended.

Library unveils renovated website

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Web designers at Baker-Berry Library have been working since July 2006 to bring about the creation of a new online program for Darmouth's library system. The "beta" version of the library system uses more refined searching which allows students to limit their searches to the reserves, Jones Media Library, journals and other specific locations. "One of the things we were trying to do when we designed the site was to keep everything simple and accessible," Mary LaMarca, library communications and web manager, said. The new site should be fully functional by spring term, and that she and the team welcome any feedback about it, associate librarian Cynthia Pawlek said. While users can now access the new site, both LaMarca and Pawlek cautioned students that, since the site is still under construction, they may encounter dead links or other problems. "We want to be sure that people know that we're still in the process of creating it," LaMarca said.
