Publishing

Nature Climate Change is now here! Emory Libraries are among the first libraries to subscribe to the newest Nature journal.  The Emory Univeristy librarians have been busy this summer expanding our already impressive collection of online journals from Nature Publishing Group (NPG). We now have expanded access to many of the journals’ archives too.

Michael Page, Kwesi Degraft-Hanson and Kyle Thayer recently discussed their collaborative project, Unearthing the Weeping Time: Savannah's Ten Broeck Race Course and 1859 Slave Sale, that utilizes library resources and ties humanistic inquiry with geographic investigation, mapping, and 3D technology http://southernspaces.org/2010/unearthing-weeping-time-savannahs-ten-broeck-race-course-and-1859-slave-sale

Feb. 11, 2011 is the official launch date of www.nonsite.org , a quarterly journal of art, philosophy and politics affiliated with Emory University. It is edited by Jennifer Ashton, Todd Cronan, Michael Fried, Oren Izenberg, Brian Kane, Ruth Leys, Walter Benn Michaels, Charles Palermo, Robert Pippin, and Victoria Scott. 

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Information Policy, the Census and National Archives announced it will hold a hearing on the issue of public access to federally funded research on Thursday, July 29.

In July, the Emory University Libraries will be introducing software enhancements to Reserves Direct. These enhancements will better enable Emory's Faculty and Staff to comply with fair use and U.S. Copyright Law.
