Current Journals at Countway Library

January 7, 2026

As the world of scholarly literature continues to shift toward new access models such as Full Open Access or Open Access with embargo periods (e.g., all content freely available except for the past year), Countway is adjusting some subscriptions to maximize the online resources we can provide to our users.

Protecting Our Collections

January 7, 2026

Food and rare collections don’t mix. Even small crumbs can attract pests that damage books and archives hundreds of years old. To protect our materials, food is not allowed past the turnstiles. However, you are always welcome to eat in the café seating area just outside the gates. Thank you for helping us care for our collections!
