The Weinberg Memorial Library is pleased to offer a new Recreational Reads collection for the spring semester!  This collection is currently located in front of the Circulation Desk next to the new books and offers a variety of new and popular fiction and nonfiction for your reading enjoyment.

Titles in the recreational reading collection will be available for check out to all students, faculty, and staff for 30 days. Our starter collection features approximately 90 titles with new titles being added periodically so be sure to stop by and browse!  You can also look for titles online by searching “Recreational Reading Collection” in the Library catalog.

Our vendor Wiley is currently experiencing some issues with EZproxy and third party linking. For this reason, you may encounter a message reading “This web property is not accessible via this address” when trying to connect to material from the Wiley Online Library from off campus.
Wiley is aware of the issue and is working on restoring service for all.
Thank you for your patience as we await a resolution.

Just in time for Open Access Week, the Library has started a trial for CloudSource OA.  We invite all students and faculty to take a look at this exciting new resource which makes searching for open access books, journals, and open educational resources a breeze.  This new search platform curates and aggregates open access content from leading publishers and scholars around the world in one convenient and easy to use location.

The trial period will last until October 31st, 2021 so please take some time to explore.  You can link to the resource here or visit our A to Z Database list and click on “Trial Databases”.  If you have any questions or feedback about this database, please contact Sylvia Orner (sylvia.orner@scranton.edu).
