December New Books List Available

Another New Online Resource - Historical New York Times

We now provide access to a unique online resource from ProQuest, the historical New York Times from 1851 to present. This resource is searchable, full-text, and also includes images. So, not only are the pictures from the newspaper available, but also the ads. This is a fantastic resource for history classes, but other disciplines will be able to use it as well. Look up inauguration speeches from long ago presidents. Read the contemporary account of the battle of Gettysburg or of the 1929 stock market crash. Look at ads over time to see how prices and fashions changed.

You can find this new resource from the library's home page, http://www.century.edu/library/, under Databases A-Z, then look for ProQuest.
