BOOKMark : Issue 13

Abstract

In this edition of BOOKMARK you’ll not only find the usual Tips and Tricks to help you with your studies but also new features. These include a Literary Calendar and On the Job where we shall be interviewing professionals from different spheres to give you an idea of the different jobs one can study for. We have also two brilliant feature articles about the public gardens in Floriana and also about the history of the paperback. We also discover, through Molière’s character Argan, that maybe the 17th century France, is not that different from us after all. People will always be people and that will never change. Dr. Josette Attard gives us another perspective about Malta’s National Poet, Dun Karm Psaila. Here at the library we are big Harry Potter fans, so we decided to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first book by including a very interesting article about the use of Latin and Greek in Harry Potter, together with a short biography of J.K. Rowling in the Getting to Know section.
