Data Librarian
Just for Fun
I want to end on a fun note. The library also offers some fun resources, too! The library offers direct access to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, as well as a couple of video platforms. Kanopy tends more towards documentaries and the Criterion Collection, while Swank has more popular movies.
