Centennial Library Shelf Life, March/April 2023

The Cedarville Review 2022-2023 issue is an eclectic collection of visual arts (ceramics, photography) and creative writing (poetry, fiction, non-fiction) composed and edited by Cedarville undergraduate students. Join this year’s journey through pensive silence, taxing emotions, and sensory descriptions of life, nature, and make-believe while resting securely in the certainty that our God provides and sustains. The Cedarville Review is an annual undergraduate literary and arts journal published by the Department of English, Literature, and Modern Languages. Cedrus Press renders the journal in both print and digital formats, and is the publishing service of DigitalCommons@Cedarville, the institutional repository of Cedarville University entrusted with sharing the institution's work with the world. DIGITAL COMMONS PUBLISHING CORNER 3 Million Downloads New Issue of The Cedarville Review On April 10, 2023, a reader from South Africa downloaded a student work entitled “The Blessing of Pain” from the English Literature and Modern Language publication The Idea of An Essay marking the 3,000,000th download from Digital Commons. Since 2013, the Digital Commons has made faculty and student scholarship, university publications and history, and library materials available to a global audience. The library celebrated this occasion with an open house reception on April 21 for Cedarville University faculty and staff. 3 MILLION! Library Careers Program: Centennial Library Scholarship The Centennial Library Scholarship in Library Science encourages the next generation of Christian librarians by providing tuition support for a library graduate degree. The Centennial Library faculty used a generous gift from a Cedarville University alumna to establish the scholarship in 1998. Students may apply during their senior year and for two years after graduation. The award is made directly to the graduate school in which the recipient is enrolled. Proceeds from the library’s book sales help to fund these scholarships, assisting Cedarville graduates with pursuing careers in libraries. Since it began, twenty-three scholarships have been awarded, helping CU alumni complete graduate library degrees at such schools as Kent State University, the University of Kentucky, Wayne State University, and the University of North Carolina. These graduates have gone on to work in libraries at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library & Museum, Denison University, Cedarville University, and public or school libraries across the United States.
