As part of our ongoing effort to ensure the best use of library resources, Tufts Libraries will be ending its subscription to Nexis Uni on June 30, 2025.
Why the change? After a thorough review, we found that:
We will lose access to some resources that we received for free through the state as of June 30th due to funding cuts associated with the dissolution of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
We anticipate little impact to the Tufts community as most of these resources received little use here. They are more geared towards a high school student population, and are highly duplicative of other resources we already have.
Tisch Library's "Affordable Course Materials Profiles" feature interviews with faculty & instructors who have received an Affordable Course Materials Award.
In partnership with Tisch College's TUPIT program, Tisch library will sponosor two students from the Spring 2025 MyTERN Cohort to continue to hone their podcasting skills this summer. After spending the spring semester creating, recording, and editing podcasts with the 5th MyTERN cohort, Rocio "Rose" Lopez and Jason Stiles have been selected as Tisch Library MyTERN Media Fellows and received fellowship certificates at the MyTERN graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 8th.
In partnership with the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Center for the Humanities at Tufts, Tisch Library is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2025 Tisch Library Graduate Fellowship in the Arts & Humanities, whose thesis and dissertation research projects make creative use of collections, services, and expertise at Tufts libraries.
Taking a break from studying is important to reduce stress, improve focus, and refresh your mind and body. Join us during Reading Period for an array of activities, movie screenings, free snacks and drinks, and therapy dogs!
See the schedule of events and locations below. We hope to see you there!
Applying for NSF funding? Join Tisch Library for a Zoom workshop on NSF Data Management and Sharing Plans.
All NSF proposals must include a two-page Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP), outlining how your research data will be managed, shared, and preserved. This workshop will cover the general NSF guidelines for writing a DMSP, directorate/division-specific guidance, and how to use DMPTool to find DMSP templates. We’ll discuss your options for meeting NSF data sharing requirements, as well as best practices that can enhance your plan.
Join us for snacks and a relaxing, playful exploration of Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is a vector-based 2D design program used for graphic design, typesetting, and (unsurprisingly) illustration, but it’s not a typical “drawing” program like you might be familiar with if you’ve used Photoshop or ProCreate. This event will help you understand how to start developing a visual language by experimenting with shape, color, and scale with a focus on exploration and process more than product. There is no previous experience with Illustrator required.
Come hang out in the DDS and explore objects close-up with our 200x macro smartphone lens and unconventional microphones. Low stake prompts and reflections will help encourage curiosity for seeing and listening in different ways. Light snacks will be available. Feel free to bring your objects to listen or look at!
The Tisch Library is pleased to invite you to the presentation of the 2026 Maxine N. Gordon, J70, Book Prize. Each year, the Chair of the Math Department awards the prize to a major who has demonstrated a love of reading, literature, and poetry.
