New in the Library

Events and resources
We’re partnering with IDNYC to provide a week-long NYC ID pop up enrollment site in the library from September 26-30th.
We’re also collaborating with NYPIRG to register new voters during September and October. And we have lots of resources for use in and outside of the classroom; students might be particularly interested in signing up for a free digital subscription to the New York Times and streaming films through the database Kanopy.  


Open Educational Resources
Join us for an upcoming faculty workshop:
When the Textbook Falls Short: Exploring Alternative Course Materials

Are you concerned that students aren’t purchasing or reading the textbook you assign? Learn how alt / open educational resources (OERs) are sustainable, accessible, and engaging to students. Find out how to locate and adopt dynamic course materials that can supplement or replace textbooks.
