    Maybe you’re waiting to see the Thor movie until after finals are over.  Maybe you’ve seen it and you’re dying to get more back story on the mythical God of Thunder. Maybe you’ve been staring at journal articles all morning and just need a break.  Maybe you just love comics loaded with exclamation points! Whatever the reason, Special Collections has just the thing for you.  As part of our fantastic Comic Books Collection, we have more than 200 back issues of the original Thor comic books dating from 1965 through 1990!  The first issue in our collection, number 119, even includes a battle against one of Thor’s movie foes, The Destroyer! </p>
    
    <p><br>
    <img alt="Avengers_93%20web.jpg" src="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/library/Avengers_93%20web.jpg" width="193" height="290" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"> But Thor isn’t limited to his own book.  You might also know him as part of The Avengers, along with Captain America, The Hulk and Iron Man!  Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered there as well, with more than a hundred issues from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.  Catch up on the Avengers back story now, before their movie comes out next year!  And before you ask, yes, we’ve got classic 60’s and 70’s issues of Captain America, the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man as well!</p>
    
    <p><br>
    Special Collections will be open from 1 until 4 pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday all the way through Finals Week, and until 8pm on Thursdays.  During the summer, we’ll be open by appointment only.  To find our superhero lair, enter the Library Gallery and walk straight back- you’ll see our doors on the right. No secret decoder ring required! </p>

    <Title>Part-time Job Survey - What are you worth?</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">The Career Services Center surveys UMBC students each semester to learn more about the part-time jobs students work while in school.  Last spring, the average on-campus job hourly wage was $8.47, while the average hourly rate for off-campus jobs was $12.03.  Of  the students who responded, the average worked between 11-16 hours per week.  We'll be sending out this survey again this semester; keep your eyes peeled later this month and share your part-time work experience!</div>

  <Title>UNESCO Youth Forum Applications</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><strong>Application Deadline:</strong> May 15
    
    The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Youth Forum is a biennial conference that brings together youth from over 80 countries to exchange views and identify shared opportunities to address global problems within UNESCO’s mandate. The outcome from the Forum will be forwarded to the UNESCO General Conference for consideration.
    
    This year, the Youth Forum will be in October at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. The National Commissions for UNESCO may send up to two candidates to represent youth in their home country. At the Forum, youth delegates will be expected to share their experiences and seek ways that UNESCO can promote a better future for youth, within its mandate.
