these trials, go to the library's "Databases" page and find links with

==>  CURRENT LIBRARY EXHIBITS

Both the Perry Library and Diehn Composers Room are featuring lobby and Web
exhibits for public viewing. In the Perry Library Lobby, you may view
"Building the University," an exhibit to commemorate Old Dominion
University's 75th anniversary.  Combining photographs and various other
materials from the University Archives, the exhibit celebrates campus life
with a look at some of the buildings central to our campus history.  The
Web exhibit includes audio files from interviews conducted with former
faculty and administrators of the University:
