Welcome to the new University Libraries website, the entry point to an exceptionally broad and deep set of resources and services. All of the librarians and staff members have as our central goal supporting student success, the curriculum of each school and program, and the overarching educational mission of the University. I hope that the redesigned web pages will help us achieve that goal even further.
Cosmic changes have occurred in academic libraries as they evolve from being primarily brokers and gatekeepers of information to engaging students actively in their learning experiences. Gone (for the most part) is the hushed atmosphere of the gentleman's club; no longer are academic libraries entirely quiet places. Rather, by providing a variety of spaces for exchange and collaboration, they embrace the concept of the third place: extensions of home, places for social interaction, for discovery, for collaboration, as well as for contemplation. I am delighted with the amount of peer-to-peer learning I observe in the second-level commons, group study rooms, and informal lounge spaces. Take a short tour of renovated spaces in the Gottesman Library Building:

Quite the contrary is true. The stories of the Talmud are Chazal’s exquisite manner of expressing profound lessons of Torah outlook. Join Rabbi Chaim and Binyamin Jachter, authors of Aggadic Mindset: How Talmudic Tales Shape the Jewish Outlook (Kol Torah Publications, 2022) as they extract meaning from Talmudic tales and show their contemporary relevance. Rabbi Jachter received rabbinic ordination from RIETS.

It outlined a community need to address humanities textbook costs by leveraging library resources. Over 2020 and 2021, LYRASIS and Yeshiva University piloted a program to harness academic librarians’ expertise with humanities information resources. They reviewed syllabi and re-designed them using open-source documents and resources (“AlterTexts”). These AlterTexts were already available to students through library full-text subscriptions (periodical literature, electronic reference sources, and relevant chapters from electronic books). ¶© 2022 LYRASIS.
