New Stuff Tuesday – July 15

The Last Lecture

The Last Lecture:
A Love Story For Your Life
QA76.2 .P38 L3 2008 DVD
Center Video Collection, 1st floor

This week’s featured item came highly recommended from Char… almost a month ago. She said that we had just gotten it in and that I should feature it on the blog. Well, now it is now in my possession after being checked out right away. And instead of writing anything, I’ll let the focus of the video, Professor Randy Pausch at Carnegie Mellon University, speak for himself.

For the background to Pausch’s amazing story, check out the ABC News website. In addition to the video, we also have the book by the same title in the McNaugton Collection – 2nd floor (call number MCN Pau).

    I saw this man on Oprah. They showed excerpts from the lecture. Both it and he were very powerful to watch. I gave his book to my fiance’s niece for her h.s. graduation.
