Dartmouth Libraries has a rich tradition of library and community-curated exhibits. This Winter Term, we debuted four unique exhibits, each demonstrating what one might discover about a “place,” and the power and allure of it. On view until mid-March, these exhibits invite you to discover artful, historical, social, intellectual, and cultural narratives within each.

Have you ever wondered how some of the most bespoke, highly specific, and poignant sessions come to be taught at Rauner Special Collections Library? Curiosity and collaboration. Another factor is just how many people contribute to the process — even when separated by distance and time. How?

Dartmouth Libraries website’s last major iteration was seven years ago. Since then, the Libraries’ role in research, teaching, and learning at Dartmouth and beyond has dramatically changed. With ever-shifting landscapes in technology, particularly cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the research lifecycle and publishing, federal research mandates, accessibility standards, and a growing demand for seamless digital experiences, we knew a more robust and future-ready website was needed.

From October 21 through 25, Dartmouth Libraries are hosting a series of events as part of International Open Access Week. This event brings together universities, research institutes, and publishers committed to “Community over Commercialization,” prioritizing “approaches to open scholarship that serve the best interests of the public and the academic community.”

Join us on Monday, September 30, to celebrate and honor Reverend Edward Mitchell’s life and work! A graduate of the class of 1828, he was the first person of African descent to graduate from any school now identified as part of the Ivy League, and the third self-identified man of color to graduate from any American college. This day-long event series brings together international collaborators, the Libraries, Mitchell’s biographer, and more to highlight Mitchell’s unique story and legacy.

Whether you’re a first year student or a seasoned graduate, there's always more to discover about your Libraries! Take your Dartmouth experience to the next level with these 11 hacks.
