Library News

Hello Huskies! My name is Kristina Lopez, I am a third year criminal justice major and history minor. I am also the Vice President for Academic Affairs in the Student Government Association, and I am honored to be a guest blogger for Club Snell! I have spent countless hours in the library working on different projects and assignments, and I look forward to giving both a student perspective as well as the perspective of someone who works closely with the library to see through all the exciting changes that happen there! I am always available for comments or questions; you can email me at lopez.k@husky.neu.edu or stop by the SGA office in 332 Curry!

See news and images from the height of Victorian culture, a window into how the English viewed the world around them.  The Illustrated London News provides new resources for art, history, costume design, postcolonial studies, and more. Advanced search features let you limit to just one section of the newspaper, or only image captions, to find:

• May fashions from 1847
• British winter troop uniforms from 1849
• Scenes from the Western Front of World War II
• The Beatles performing for the Royals

We think this will have a lot of applicability across many subjects, so let us know what you think.

The Northeastern University Libraries presents Oxford Bibliographies in six subject areas: Atlantic History, Cinema and Media Studies, Criminology, Islamic Studies, Sociology, and Victorian Literature. Developed cooperatively with scholars and librarians, each bibliography provides authoritative research guidance with a large collection of articles addressing major themes and topics within a discipline, with commentary and selective, annotated bibliography. The articles cite resources in many formats: books, along with more recent online sources, such as digital archives, datasets, electronic encyclopedias, and more. Output options for saving, annotating and sharing citations and searches are available with each article. The Oxford Bibliographies provide access to important themes and topics in a field of study or discipline for scholars, researchers, and students. Have a look and see how they might help you in your research!  

This July I am one of three new co-ops who will be working in Snell Library through the Fall semester.
