The library has added approximately 200 new journals, and added online access for another 200 currently held journals by purchasing JSTOR V and JSTOR VII Arts & Sciences collections.

From JSTOR’s Available Collections webpage:

“Arts & Sciences V … builds on previously introduced disciplines, adding important literary reviews and state historical journals. It will also widen the scope of core disciplines in the arts and humanities, such as philosophy, history, classics, religion, art and art history, and language and literature. When complete, the collection will number at least 120 titles….With over 180 titles across thirty-five disciplines, the Arts & Sciences VII Collection includes more journals in more disciplines than any other JSTOR collection. Its eclectic range of disciplines in the arts, humanities, and social sciences complements research in core disciplines such as history, political science, sociology, art and art history, and language and literature, and the collection represents the largest cluster of health policy titles in JSTOR.”

In 2008 the North Carolina Coastal Federation donated their papers to Randall Library. Covering the first 20 plus years, these papers highlight the issues the Federation has been involved in since 1982. Included in the collection are correspondence, scientific papers, minutes of board meetings, flyers, photographs, maps, newspaper articles, books and much more. The federation will be systematically adding to the collection; keeping the current five years of material at the headquarters in Ocean, NC.

Currently online access to the NCCF publications Coastal Review and State of the Coast as well as abstracts of oral histories with NCCF members is available online here.

Students asked for more quiet study space in the library and we are working on it! Beginning October 19, 2009 the library designated the 2nd floor as a quiet zone. We hope this will help you when you’re studying! You can still collaborate and work in groups on the 1st floor and in group study rooms.

What does this mean?

• Signs are in place on the 2nd floor designating the quiet zones
• All library staff, office holders, and departments housed in the library will be notified of this change
• Noisy activities such as watching a movie in groups, loud group discussions, rtalking on cell phones or group social conversations should move to the 1st floor
• Other library users and/or staff may be asking noisy groups or individuals to be more quiet

We appreciate your support of this change and encourage you to direct comments and questions to the Library Administrative Office, RL #1010, 962.3270.
