Shut Up & Sproj

Work quietly on your project in the company of other seniors. By showing up for your project at the same time each week, you can turn 1.5 hours of focused work into a stable routine that yields real results over time. Research indicates that even the smallest sense of belonging to a community increases your performance. Mondays and Fridays from 3:30–5 pm in Stevenson 402.

Sign up for the New York Times today!

New York Times Logo

Did you know that the library has a subscription to the New York Times?

It works a little differently than our other resources, but it’s easy to use after the initial sign-up!

Here’s how it works:

To register at the New York Times site, you have to use this link

Please use your Bard email address. Students will be prompted to give a graduation date. Staff and faculty will need to renew their accounts every 4 years.

Do you already have a paid account and want to cancel your subscription? You will need to contact NYT Customer Care before trying to sign up for the complimentary Bard subscription. [email protected] / 800-591-9233 / Chat 

Our subscription covers mostly current articles and unfortunately, NYT Cooking and the Crosswords are not included.

Are you looking for an older article? Your best bet would be to use The Historical New York Times , it covers 1850 to 3 years ago.

Once you have your account set-up, you can just go to nytimes.com, no need to visit the library’s page after initial set-up.

Literature Review Workshop

If your Senior Project requires a literature review–or if you need to understand what the heck one is–join Jane Smith on Monday, February 19, at 7 pm, in Olin LC 115. You’ll get hands-on practice synthesizing sources, learn why the literature review is a crucial element of research writing, understand how it differs from an annotated bibliography, and come away with writing tips. Though the workshop may be most helpful for seniors, everyone is welcome.
