Constitution Day, new resources, staplers

A few quick announcements ...

Constitution Day resources are now available
If you haven't seen the news in the Announcements section of our home page, we've posted a Web page with information about this year's Constitution Day, on Friday, Sept. 17. This year, we're celebrating the Second Amendment, otherwise known as the "You'll have to pry my sawed-off shotgun from my cold, dead hands" Amendment. There's actually a lot more to the Amendment than what you hear from the NRA and from the left; the Founding Fathers had very real concerns that underpinned the choice to include this amendment in the Bill of Rights. You can learn more about that by going here.

A bunch of other new resources are now available
We've added a few new things to our ever-expanding list of offerings! A new page will appear on our Web site by the end of the week with more comprehensive explanations, but in a nutshell, here's what's new:
  • Art Full Text
  • JSTOR Arts & Sciences I (basically, we expanded our JSTOR subscriptions; you won't see it as a discrete collection because it's simply been added to the pool of articles already available)
  • Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics, an electronic encyclopedia available through ALADIN Discovery
  • Several books donated by the Nippon Foundation about Japanese art, history, and culture. If you're interested in Japan in general, keep an eye out!

Staplers
They're on our minds. More details later.

I'm still working on the Deaf Copy 1 tour. Also, book review this Friday! And it's not gonna be a vlog neither ...
