Regent University March 2005 Celebrating
Women's History Month
Celebrating Women's History Month by Donald Gantz, Special Collections Assistant Supervisor
The theme of the display
is "Three Centuries of Women in Revival and Renewal" and
reflects the Wesleyan Holiness roots of the Pentecostal movement.
Using books from Special Collections and the library's general collection,
the display begins chronologically with Susanna Wesley, the mother
of John Wesley. It includes Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon,
who used her influence and wealth to support John Wesley, George
Whitefield and others.
Included also are some of the remarkable African American women who were active in the Holiness and Pentecostal movements: Jarena Lee, Amanda Berry Smith, and Rosa A. Horn. A good introduction to several of these may be found in "Conversion and Sanctification in Nineteenth-Century African American Wesleyan Women," by Regent Divinity faculty member Estrelda Alexander, which is chapter six of the book Conversion in the Wesleyan Tradition by Collins and Tyson.
Stop by to see the display in the foyer of the library building. When you do, note the white dresses...

Library Course: More Than Just Another Requirement
The Information Research and Resources Course, or "library class," is the online tutorial that introduces students to library resources and services. Students are encouraged to register and complete it at the beginning of their first semester at Regent University, not just because it is required for graduation, but because it is designed to help you with all future classes that you will be taking. This course is a non-credit, self-paced, self-directed class. Students will receive a "pass" grade when the course is completed, or an "in progress" grade if they fail to complete the course during the semester in which they are registered.
Students who register after the add/drop period need to consult with the dean of their school in order to get approval for filling out an add/drop form to turn in to their advisor. E-mail the Instructor, Fotini Kontos at fotikon@regent.edu, or call her at 352-4187 to be sure she knows you have registered.
Course Coverage Students have the option to either take the pretest or to read the five lessons and complete the four tasks. If the student takes the pretest and scores 70 or above, they will have passed the library class. If they score less than 70 they need to proceed by reading the five lessons and completing the four tasks. On average it takes five hours to read the lessons and complete the tasks. Steps for Accessing the Course If you have registered for the library class and have not completed the course, we encourage you to complete it by May 1st . If you haven't registered for it, we encourage you to do so next semester. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Fotini Kontos at: fotikon@regent.edu or 352-4187. Where Can I Find?: Curriculum Collection
Materials that are not easily accommodated on a shelf, such as classroom manipulatives, are kept in a nearby Curriculum Kit Room, 211A. If you find that the room is locked, please go to the Circulation Desk for assistance. Most of the materials in the collection circulate, except for a small reference collection.
