Display space is available starting March 26 through the end of the semester. Reserve your space now by contacting Nancy at nlschuler@pima.edu.

We have two display cases in the main entrance (one large, one table like), and a large display case in the AH entrance. All are enclosed with glass and locked. Feel free to come by and take a look to see if they will fit your needs.

Don't forget about the Library's Newspaper Databases...

This week our featured resource is: Newspapers

This is the time of year when many students are working on one or more research papers. When they come to the library for assistance we assist them in finding items in our physical collection (here and at other campuses), our reference resources, our article databases and of course finding and evaluating web resources. Many times when we bring using a newspaper as a resource they are unsure if they can.

Our newspaper resources include:

• Arizona Daily Star: Current week's articles
• Ethnic News Watch: Articles from the ethnic, minority and native presses.
• Historical Newspapers: The New York Times from 1851-2005
• Historical New York Times with Index
• Newspaper Source: Articles from various newspapers, including the Arizona Daily Star (09/29/2001 to present), as well as TV and radio transcripts
• ProQuest Newspapers: Articles from various newspapers, including  the New York Times (2002-current)

As you can see, there is a wide variety - both local and national. Newspaper resources are great for exploration of topics, current events, exploring regional tendencies, and interviews (especially the historical NY Times).

If you want to read the Arizona Daily Star online you have two options:

• You can click on the link above or go directly to their website. For those with  with smartphones and/or tablets, you can download their app for their mobile version. (click here to find the app for your device.) 

• The DC Library has purchased a digital version of the paper if you want to read the paper online but in newspaper format (great if you want to reference something by page numbers). Use this link and log in with this information:     Username: AM2001458    Password:  AM2001458

 As always, if you have any questions, or want some more information on using the newspaper resources in your classes, just stop by or call the library!
