eTheses sessions for new Postgraduates

Hello!

If you are a new Postgraduate Research student in English you should be aware that I am running an important session about the new electronic submission of Theses, which is compulsory for all new research PhDs, MPhil students etc. from the start of this academic session.

As well as submitting the usual three print versions of your thesis you will need to make an electronic submission to our Repository: White Rose Etheses Online. This has major implications for third party copyright in your theses which you will need to know about.

The session for Faculty of Arts students is on 4th November 10-11am in CILASS Collaboratory 1 in the Information Commons.

I look forward to seeing you there,
Clare

Early American Imprints

Hello Everyone,

 Hope you are all settling into the semester and your new modules and getting used to things. The Library has recently started a new subscription to Early American Imprints. It is a definitive resource for researching every day  aspects of 17th and 18th century America. Early American Imprints series 1 is based on Charles Evans' "American Bibliography" and Roger Bristol's supplement. This incomparable digital collection contains over 36000 printed works including virtually every book, pamphlet and broadside published in American over 160 years. This collection can be seen as a complement to ECCO Eighteenth Century Collections Online because ECCO is focused on British and European titles. Other publications included in the collection are advertisements, almanacs, bibles, catalogues, charters, cookbooks, elegies, eulogies, maps, narratives, novels, operas, plays, poems, primers, sermons, songs, speeches, textbooks, tracts, travelogues etc. Please do go and have a look at this resource. I hope it will help some or all of  you with your studies. It is available at: http://www.shef.ac.uk/library/cdfiles/eai.html
