The Anywhere Library 24 x 7 x 365

We strive to make the library a welcoming place for reading, research, study, and reflection, but we also make extensive resources available to students and faculty anytime and anywhere. When you’re on campus, the process is completely invisible. Click on a link to JSTOR and you’re in, you wouldn’t even realize that JSTOR and other licensed electronic resources are restricted to use by Simon’s Rock students, faculty, and staff.

If you’re off campus, though – anywhere in the world with an internet connection – you can still access all the library’s electronic resources. You just click a link on the library’s website or in CampusGuides, log in with your Simon’s Rock username and password, and everything works just as it would on campus.

So, what can you find in this “anywhere library” 24 x 7 x 365?

Here’s a sample:

• 14,000+ full-text electronic journals, magazines, and newspapers; from Aachener Zeitung to Zygon.
• 4300+ e-books in the humanities and broadly across many subject areas.
• 145,000+ maps, including antique, political, data, and scientific maps.
• 1,000,000+ images across the disciplines: anthropology, art, architecture, area studies, photography, and many other forms of visual culture.
• Streaming video of complete professional performances of more than 250 well-known plays, and over 100 video documentaries as well as high-quality films of full-length performances by some of today’s most provocative artists working in dance, theater, music and other forms.
• Dozens of subject guides created by librarians at Simon's Rock to help you with research as well as guides on other topics: Citing Sources, Senior Resources, Writing, Censorship and Intellectual Freedom (and more).

Not enough? There’s more...

The Boston Public Library makes available many of its electronic resources to anyone who lives, works, or goes to school in the state of Massachusetts through their eCard program. This includes thousands more electronic periodicals and e-books as well as much more streaming video and music.
