New mobile app for ebrary

The Ritz's largest electronic book collection, ebrary, is in the process of enhancing mobile access to their over 100,000 titles. Part of that enhancement is the retirement of the current ebrary app, which is scheduled to occur of August 4.

If you have that app, or just want to access ebrary from your mobile device, it's time to change over to BlueFire app, the ebook reader that ebrary will be using from now on. As with the ebrary app, BlueFire allows you to download an entire book to read when Internet access is unavailable.  Instructions on the entire process of using mobile devices and ebrary is here

More information on accessing the Ritz's resources from mobile devices is posted on the Mobile Access Ritz Research Guide.

In remembrance of September 11th, 2001

In honor of the 10th anniversary of September 11th and , we offer access to a specialized list of electronic books from ebrary that commemorate the event. The list can be viewed here.

The Ritz Library has also created a display of books related to September 11th. You can see them in the display case near the Circulation Desk when you enter the Ritz Library.

Of special note to the entire campus community is an exhibit that has been installed in the 4th floor lobby of Hudson Hall. The exhibit consists of banners showing the history of the event as well as a timeline and an actual piece of aluminum from the World Trade Center, salvaged from Ground Zero.
