| About me: “I'm here to help with journalism and reporting resources, including New York City neighborhood research and statistics and historical newspapers. And, be sure to check out the Journalism Library Blog for research tips!” |
| What's new at my library: The Digital Social Science Center (DSSC) located in Lehman Library is a great new space featuring computer workstations with 30 inch monitors, scanners, color printers, and collaborative study areas. Subject specialist librarians in the Social Sciences will be available to assist with software and equipment as well as reference and research. Come join us at the DSSC! |
