  <Title>The Contested Legacy of September 12th</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>The days after September 11, 2001 had a dreamlike quality: painted in brilliant colors but blurry at the edges, as if the strange scenes could dissolve at any time into the more concrete, familiar reality of the vanished past.  In that time before Facebook and smart phones we were linked by our television sets, captivated by images of destruction and grief, calls for vengeance and tolerance, and a massive mobilization of resources to secure the homeland.</span><br>
    <br>
    <span>After the first, dark day of utter helplessness, a new sensibility rapidly took hold.  We felt an overpowering need to connect with each other, express our affiliation, and reassure ourselves of our resilience and strength.  We reached out, everywhere and all at once: giving our blood and money so rapidly that we overwhelmed the agencies trying to collect and distribute them, and unfurling American flags in our windows and on our balconies.  There was ugliness, too, as deluded haters assaulted Muslims (or people they imagined might be) and attacked their property.  But at least for a few weeks, it was possible to see those ubiquitous flags as harbingers of a new era of unity and common purpose, in which we might pool our energies to help each other heal, and emerge a stronger nation.  We had become newly visible to each other, and, spontaneously, we were working collectively to great effect.  What could we not now accomplish together?</span><br>
    <br>
    <span>But alas.  That galvanizing sense of purpose proved to be a powerful temptation to people with agendas beyond Americans’ unity and civic engagement.  As the most hawkish political leaders and groups campaigning for new civil liberties restrictions began wrapping themselves in the flag, I sensed the meaning of the flag in my own window being co-opted.  Ten years later, some activists invoke the surge of patriotism and fellowship after September 11th as a call to arms for those who believe government efforts to promote the general welfare violate individuals’ right to be left alone.</span><br>
    <br>
    <span>I draw a different lesson.  For a few weeks in 2001, all we wanted to do was help and support each other, and we found that we could. Government was not an enemy but a resource, a forum for us to come together as a people.  We were active and we were determined, and we did a lot of good.  That energy and potential is still within us, however latent, perhaps one day to be released again through some combination of crisis, opportunity, leadership and will.</span><br>

    <Title>Hey, Faculty: need a media item during your lectures?</Title>
    <Tagline>Submit your requests online!</Tagline>

          <div class="html-content">If you want to show a movie or listen to a CD during your lecture, the Library Media department can help! The <a href="http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/media/bookings.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Media Booking Form</a>, located under "Library Services for Faculty," allows you to request media items to be set aside for a specific day and time. <br><br>These bookings are different from the course reserves you submit through UCORES. Professors who have submitted media reserves can check them out for up to a week; however, if the item is on reserve for another class, the loan period is restricted to the length of the class.<br><br>All types of media can be requested. To ensure availability, please submit your requests as early as possible. (You can even request items months in advance!) If the item is on shelf, it will be placed on hold for you; if it is currently checked out, a recall notice will be generated. Media bookings will be kept behind the desk on the 2nd floor.<br><br>If you have any questions, please contact <span><a href="mailto:medialib@lists.umbc.edu">medialib@lists.umbc.edu</a></span> or call x52332. <br></div>
