This post is the latest in a series designed to keep our community updated about changes in our collections and focuses primarily on electronic resources available through the Graduate Center Library.
New Databases:
(These and all other databases can be found on our full A-Z databases list)
- American Antiquarian Society (AAS) Historical Periodicals Collection (see this short blog post for more information)
- ACLS Humanitites Ebook A collection of over 5,000 ebooks offered by the American Council of Learned Societies
- All CUNY libraries now subscribe to a larger package of Gale databases, resulting in this collection of new additions for the Graduate Center: Biography and Genealogy Master Index, Biography in Context, Book Review Index Plus, Business Insights: Global, Contemporary Women’s Issues, Global Issues in Context, GREENR, Health & Wellness Resource Center, LegalTrac, LitFinder, Military and Intelligence Database, Science in Context, TableBase, U.S. History in Context and World History in Context
- The Graduate Center is now part of the HathiTrust Partnership Community. In addition to gaining full PDF downloads for items in the public domain, researchers can text mine the entire corpus of the HathiTrust collections.
- Like the New York Times, everyone with a CUNY email address can now create a Wall Street Journal Academic Membership (see this blog post for more information about creating your CUNY account)
New Look/Features/Interface Updates:
- L’Annee Philologique has a new interface through their publisher, Brepolis

Cancelled Items:
- Two items that had been CUNY subscriptions were recently cancelled: Books in Print (see an alternative subscription via the New York Public Library) and eMarketer.
- Due to budget restrictions, we are no longer adding videos to our Kanopy collection, and as per Kanopy, our access is restricted to the films we have previously licensed.
