60 Minutes & Popular Reading



Great news! We’ve added the Alexander Street Press 60 Minutes collection to our streaming video services.  Almost 2 decades of episodes of 60 Minutes are available online in one huge streaming video resource. This collection grants access to the CBS News archives from 1997-2014, including many episodes not widely seen since their original broadcast.

Access the collection here: 

I’m happy to inform you that due to high demand, we’re bringing back our Popular Reading shelves. On December 16th, the Popular Reading section on the first floor of the Atkins Library will be open for browsing -- just in time for break! Stop into the library and find a few good books to read during the long vacation. I know I will.

See you next year!

eBooks for Classes and Personal Enjoyment



As you are fanatically trying to draw the Fall semester to a close and gearing for the Spring semester (there is no rest for a weary professor), I wanted to remind you that you may be able to save your students and yourself some time, energy and money. You can do this by checking if Atkins Library has your textbook and/or further readings in an electronic form. If we don't, we can try and get a copy for you and your students. Below is a video reminding you how to find and/or order eTextbooks.




If you happen to have some spare time for personal reading over the holiday break, try searching our catalog for your favorite title. Here's how...



What ever you are doing over the break, I hope you take some time to relax and enjoy!
