Fall 2022/Winter 2023 Newsletter

Welcome to the Winter 2023 installment of the Library Update newsletter!

The Libraries had a busy Fall 2022 semester, including:

• Halloween tabling
• Two-sentence horror story contest
• Open Access scavenger hunt
• Dr. Leonard A Slade Jr. poetry reading
• And more

"Libraries have just been really pivotal for my educational process and experience," Provost Kim says in our first My Library Story feature.

The Libraries are planning a full-scale redesign of the Current Periodicals Room, reimagining the area as a modern, multi-purpose space.

Welcome our two Anna Radkowski-Lee Graduate Assistants, Alison Wells and Prashant Patel

"Entering the University as a transfer student, I was worried I would be unable to find a way to involve myself with the campus community. Yet, when I learned about the Library Ambassador Program on the UAlbany Libraries Instagram, I instantly imagined it would be something I’d love to be a part of."

Meet Ryan Clow, Digital Training Specialist, who is the Libraries' own Willy Wonka.

The Miriam Snow Mathes Historical Children's Literature Collection includes upwards of 17,000 children's books and periodicals published in the 19th century and up to 1960. 

We asked our faculty to tell us what they've been reading--and what you can check out from the Libraries!
