24-Hour Weekend



24-Hour Weekend is Almost Here!

To help students prepare for midterms, Kimbel Library will be open 24 hours the weekend of March 2nd-4th. The library will not close all weekend long, so we encourage students to come in and study.

We look forward to seeing you on 24-hour weekend!

New and Improved SCIENCEDIRECT

     The library now has access to almost 600 additional journals through ScienceDirect, thanks to a consortial agreement between Elsevier and a group of South Carolina academic libraries. Added content includes new journals in nursing, sports management and medicine, public health, psychology, business, chemistry, and environmental studies.

     ScienceDirect is one of the library’s most popular databases with consistently high use. Don’t be misled by the name – in addition to strong science content, ScienceDirect has great coverage of education, business, psychology, and archaeology.

   

  

New Books on Japan

The Library is pleased to introduce several new books donated by the Nippon Foundation's Read Japan program.   Thanks to the foundation’s generosity, we now have additional titles in the collection that will strongly benefit the new Asian Studies minor.  These books on Japan will perfectly support existing courses in contemporary East Asian politics; East Asian history; Asian religions; pre-modern, modern, and post-World War II Japan; the Japanese language; and Asian drama, contemporary fiction, and cinema.
