Curiouser and Curiouser

Have you visited the Curiosity Corner in the Library? We ask our community thought-provoking questions like "What classic have you never read?" and "How does the library space make you feel?"

Students have shared that the physical space makes them feel "inspired," "cozy," and "hot & smart," while the online space gets mixed feedback, with some finding the website "hard to navigate but helpful."

If you're ever feeling unsure about our spaces, services, or resources, make an appointment with a librarian (see the story above!) We're here to help you succeed. Stop by the library to share your thoughts, and let us know next: What will you be reading over the holiday break?

Learn-Out on Sustainability

The Teach-In on Sustainability (TIOS) is Emerson's annual, college-wide exploration of how we can contribute to a sustainable tomorrow through communication, the arts, and the liberal arts.

Did you miss a session last week (November 20-22, 2024)?

The Library created a TIOS research guide that highlights resources from the sessions and beyond.

Be sure to check the research guide for updates in the coming days. Share your responses and reflections on sessions using the form below.

Did you know that the Southwick Recitals originated back in 1900, when College Dean Henry Lawrence Southwick established an annual series of these events? These recitals typically centered on staged readings of prose, poetry, and dramatic monologues, while honoring the craft of Performance Studies. The performances were widely attended by both students and the general public, and received excellent reviews in the Boston press.

The Archives & Special Collections holds many collections with information about the Southwick Recitals, such as this online sampling of performances and programs!

Preserving History One Handout at a Time

Did you know the Library Archives is your go-to resource for Emerson's history- spanning from years ago to just last week? Whether you attended an event, read about an event in the Berkeley Beacon, or simply want to explore Emerson’s story, the Archives has you covered. We carefully preserve handouts, flyers, and materials from campus meetings and events as part of the College Archives.

For instance, you can revisit Nancy Lyon's handout from the November 12th Post-Election Panel and many other resources, all available in our collection for you to explore.

These records not only capture moments in time but also offer a deeper look into the vibrant life of our campus. Curious about a recent event or topic? Visit the Archives or browse our collection to see what was shared. It’s your chance to connect with Emerson’s past and present. Your college history is in good hands—preserve it with us!
