What is the Featured Resources Blog?
We are officially pulling back the curtain with the Hesburgh Libraries’ newest blog, Featured Resources. If you’ve ever felt like the library has more databases, journal packages and forgotten corners than you could ever wrap your head around, this blog is for you. From shiny new subscriptions and expanded e-book content, to little-known digitized primary source collections, this blog is your insider guide to taking full advantage of the library.
But we aren’t just spotlighting resources. This blog will go behind the scenes and shed light on the strategies guiding the Hesburgh Libraries’ collections decisions. How does the library always have the exact e-book you wanted? Are the library’s e-books ours forever, or just temporary? If you publish an article, can the library help you publish it Open Access? (Spoiler: it’s complicated.) The Featured Resources blog will answer these questions and more, providing the insider details that true library fans crave. Think you’re an expert on the library’s collections? Just wait.
