Come enjoy wine & cheese with your colleagues at our Open Access Happy Hour!
Using or producing creative works online requires artists and scholars to work with a nuanced (and
complicated) copyright, license, and use guidelines. Find out ways to use public domain
and open access resources in your creative work, and how to protect the rights of artists
in online environments.
Our workshop will be held on Thursday October 24, 4:00-5:30pm in the Faculty Lounge, Atrium 632. RSVP to Prof. Bronwen Densmore at bdensmore@citytech.cuny.edu.
This workshop is being offered as a part of Open Access Week (October 21-27). For more information about open access publishing visit http://openaccess.commons.gc.cuny.edu/.
While you were away … 5 New Alexander Street Databases
The library has acquired access to five new databases from vendor Alexander Street. They cover a variety of disciplines and topics in the humanities and are available for your searching pleasure:
- African American Music Reference
- Anthropology Online
- Asian American Drama
- Latino Literature
- Underground & Independent Comics, Comix, & Graphic Novels
They can be accessed via the library’s list of databases, all of which help you locate articles, primary documents, news articles, images, and more for your research!
Furthermore, the library has also purchased dozens of new e-books, adding more titles to our ever-growing accumulation of e-books! Visit the library’s list of e-book collections to see what we have to offer (especially via the MyiLibrary and Project MUSE vendors).
Keep checking back to see what else we add over the summer to aid you in your research in the fall!
If you’re having difficulties accessing the databases or e-books, check out the library’s instructions on accessing electronic resources from home. If you’re still having trouble, don’t hesitate to ask a librarian!
