The Wisconsin Science Festival opens September 27-30 at venues across the state. To celebrate, we’re highlighting a couple of university library-related events and exhibitors with a special series called Exploring the Wisconsin Science Festival.
Today’s science-related post leverages the expertise of Steenbock Library’s own Karen Dunn, librarian and liaison to the Environmental Studies departments and programs. Over the summer, when the Nelson Institute asked what were some book recommendations for environmental studies majors, the Libraries went straight to the source. Karen came up with a great list of authors, which we’ve gathered into a gallery of book covers.
