One of these classes was Stephen Voyce\u2019s New Media Poetics, a graduate course in English. This visit was the second of three they are making over the fall semester. First, they came to learn about the Dada Archive from curator Tim Shipe on September 10. On October 6, this Tuesday, they enjoyed hands-on time with objects within the Fluxus collection under the supervision of Amy Chen, the instruction librarian. On October 13, they\u2019ll return for their final session, during which the students will help Jacque Roethler, processing coordinator, arrange and describe Fluxus periodicals. We\u2019re glad to have classes come in for multiple trips to gain a wider understanding of our holdings as well as to complete different types of assignments and learn from variety of expertise we offer.<\/p>\n<p>Want to stay connected? \u00a0Follow us on social media:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/uiowaspecialcollections\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2848\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2015\/08\/facebook.jpg\" alt=\"Facebook link\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/uispeccoll\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2849\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2015\/08\/Twitter.jpg\" alt=\"Twitter Link\" width=\"30\" height=\"32\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/uispeccoll\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2850\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2015\/08\/instagram.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram Link\" width=\"30\" height=\"29\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2015\/08\/instagram.jpg 40w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2015\/08\/instagram-36x36.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/uispeccoll.tumblr.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2851\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2015\/08\/tumblr.jpg\" alt=\"Tumblr link\" width=\"30\" height=\"31\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/uispeccoll\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2852\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2015\/08\/youtube.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube link\" width=\"30\" height=\"29\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/vine.co\/uispeccoll\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2853 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2015\/08\/vine.jpg\" alt=\"Vine link\" width=\"29\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the\u00a0Web and Social Media Looking for a fun way to celebrate the University of Iowa&#8217;s Homecoming week?
