Library Adds Two New Alexander Street Press Collections to Resources

The CARLI consortium has made two additional Alexander Street Press collections available for its governing member libraries. These include Black Thought and Culture, a collection of major non-fiction works by African-Americans, and Women and Social Movements in the United States, a collection of primary source documents.

Rare Books from CTU Library on Display at the Newberry

The Newberry Library is presenting an exhibit of rare books entitled Treasures of Faith: Twenty Years of Acquisitions until Saturday, July 6th, 2013. The exhibit includes acquisitions from local institutions, such as Mundelein College and McCormick Theological Seminary, as well as Catholic Theological Union. Several items in the exhibit were donated by CTU, and the donated titles in the Newberry collection can be searched in the I-Share catalog.

Library Adds Alexander Street Videos to Collection

As a benefit of the library's membership in CARLI, the library has obtained six streaming video collections from Alexander Street Press. These include: Black Studies in Video, Ethnographic Video Online - Volumes I and II, Filmakers Library Online, Health and Society in Video, and World History in Video.

These collections were selected to support the curriculum of CTU generally, and also to provide additional access to multicultural and ethnographic materials. Since these collections consist of streaming video, the individual videos cannot be downloaded, but individuals can build playlists of videos they would like collect for later viewing. Many videos also includes transcripts of their content.
