Focus on E-Resources: Humanities E-Book from the American Council of Learned Societies

The Research Library offers access to ACLS Humanities E-Book (HEB), an online full-text searchable collection of about 5,000 books. The titles are recommended and reviewed by scholars and are offered in collaboration with 31 learned societies and over 100 contributing publishers. Records for each book title are available in Primo Search.

A distinctive feature of ACLS HEB database is the full-text search function across the entire collection of books. Access to the resource is available from our Article and Research Databases: A to Z list.

This video provides a three-minute introduction to searching the collection.

Moth treatment scheduled for GRI this weekend

We were just notified that in response to some moth sightings, the GRI, Risk Management, and Facilities have scheduled an organic moth treatment for the entire GRI building this Saturday night, March 11, at 11:00 p.m. All offices, workstations, and reader carrels will be treated, along with meeting spaces, hallways, and other open areas that are carpeted. The building will re-open Sunday at 7:00 a.m.

In preparation, please remove any items from the floor in your work area and place them on your desk, counter spaces, or shelves. These include boxes, paper, or any other materials that might obstruct access to the carpet. You do not need to worry about chairs, chair mats, or trash cans. Please also be certain you have removed any collection materials that might be on or near the floor.

If you have food items stored in your workspace, you should remove them prior to the treatment. If you are unable to do this, you may consider discarding these items when you return.
