Deep in your study, you might sometimes need a break.
For the past year, the library has been developing a leisure collection, built by the community itself.
Since the creation of the Schaeffer Center, in 2016, the collaboration between the library and the center is facilitating the access to the resource Visual History Archive (VHA) to the AUP community.

Have you ever looked into a GREAT alternative to Amazon? Do you like and/or want to buy second hand books, CD’s, DVD’s and stand up for a good cause? I’ve got THE platform you need: AMMAREAL ! The AUP library also participates by giving them the books we no longer need in the collection.

There are over 850 individual titles in this useful book collection. They give an overview (short introduction) into many different topics, ranging from law, religion, politics, to social sciences, medicine, and health. If you don’t know much about a topic or want to review what you do know, this is the set for you!

Having access to news is very important, and most of the time the barrier of language makes it difficult to access them.
Today, I would like to promote a database, that is in my opinion underused, but important, especially if you are looking for non-western news.
Welcome Back to Campus, Students and Faculty!
We hope you had an amazing summer break and are ready to dive into the new academic year with energy and enthusiasm! The AUP Library is thrilled to welcome you back and be your go-to resource for all things learning, leisure, and inspiration.

If you want to see if the library has an article, you go to the library catalog, Primo, and type in the article title but if you are wandering the web and run into an article use these to help you see whether or not the library has what you want.
Two of my favorite things take a few minutes to set up but saves you HOURS of time and saves you money as well.

This time I would like to recommend Artstor, a high quality image database. My enthusiasm about Artstor started when I began teaching information literacy during art history senior seminars.
Nowadays, Artstor is a multidisciplinary database that has merged with JSTOR and provides more than 2.5 million images of artifacts, historical objects, industry products, photos, paintings, sculptures, architecture, etc.

As a librarian I have many items to show you. This time I’d like to show you one of my favorite items in the AUP Library, it is a large three-volume set from our special collections.
McKenney, Thomas L. and Hall, James. History of the Indian Tribes of North America: with Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes of the Principal Chiefs. Philadelphia: E. C. Biddle, 1836.

One of my favorite pages of the library homepage is the Make an Appointment page.
Basically, it is to make an appointment with a librarian to talk about research – your research / the student’s research. The librarians can sit down with the students – research conversations I would call them – which can last up to one hour.

One of my favorite pages is the ebooks page!!! The library has access to over 700,000 ebooks but there are some on this page that we’ve selected as especially useful. You can get the MLA Handbook and the Chicago Manual of Style to help you create citations.
There are Reference Collections of ebooks which are excellent places to start research on topics you don’t know much about! Want to know who was in a war, what years was it fought, who won, major battles – try reference collections!
