Great eResources are a Click Away!

By Claudia Wason

The Library has great eResources not only to help you be successful in your academic career but they can enrich your home life too! These are some of my favorites.

Films on Demand has more than 40,000 full-length films and more than 300,000 segments, which can be accessed through the Databases page. There is so much here that I can get lost for hours exploring! There are films on almost every important topic such as the hour-long film Are You Racist?, or the 10-minute segment Climate Activist Greta Thunberg on the Power of a Movement. If you had to cancel your vacation plans, you can travel to Paris for Bastille Day by viewing Le Concert de Paris 2017 or travel to any of eight locations in the National Geographic series on America’s National Parks.

E-Journals & E-Newspapers provides access to great professional journals related to your major and the Library's subscription to Concord Monitor (Login with user name: nhtilibrary@ccsnh.edu; password: nhtilibrary). Have you ever had someone send you a link for a newspaper article they believe you will like only to find you’ve already read your three free articles for the month? This resource means I’m able to keep up with current local news 24/7!

Chat is one of the best online features because it allows us to to help you! Although we can’t meet face-to-face, we are still available for you during our regular business hours through the Chat box, which can be found on the Library: Research & Resources page.

eBooks are high on my list because I love to read. Access the eBooks from the two collections in the General Databases list.

• Ebook Central – ProQuest has a great selection of classic fiction, as well as this wonderful find- 10 Years of the Caine Prize for African Writing: Plus Coetzee, Gordimer, Achebe, Okri, a collection celebrating African short fiction.
• I’m especially excited about finding a critically acclaimed poet I have never read in the eBooks – EBSCOhost Collection. She Tries Her Tongue, Her Silence Softly Breaks by Marlene Nourbese Philip is praised as being “Brilliant, lyrical, and passionate…an extended jazz riff running along the themes of language, racism, colonialism, and exile. In this groundbreaking collection, Philip defiantly challenges and resoundingly overthrows the silencing of black women through appropriation of language, offering no less than superb poetry resonant with beauty and strength.”

Flipster provides access to one of my favorite magazines-- The New Yorker. Thanks to Flipster, the Library’s digital magazine subscription, I have unlimited access to great book reviews, fiction by both favorite and rising authors, and my true weakness – the magazine’s cartoons. Some other favorites are American Cinematographer, and Mindful, but no matter what your interests – art, technology, nature, cooking, wellness, sports, and more – there is something for you! Flipster can be found about halfway down the Library: Research & Resources page.


Have fun exploring!
