An upcoming ExLibris, a ProQuest Company, maintenance window will begin at 8pm EST on Friday, February 16 and end by 11pm EST. The Online Journal Portal and some links from Summon will experience some unavailability and intermittency during this time.

Here's the scoop: The Washington Post is discontinuing its complimentary access for students and faculty and is instead offering a subscription to individuals at a fifty percent discount. No institutional subscription is possible. Our subscription to NY Times remains active.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary, research databases, selected reading from the library collection are gathered together in this guide.

As it has become prohibitively expensive to continue to provide alumni access to Ministry Matters, alumni remote access to the subscription portion of this resource will end February 12, 2018. The free portions will continue to be available: Freely Available Online Resources - Preaching

Alumni who wish to access the subscription portion of the site after February 12 may do so from within the library building. All library subscriptions are available to users who are working inside the library building.

The Library’s Director of Digital Initiatives, Greg Murray, recently traveled to Kolkata, India to initiate a digital collaboration with the William Carey Library at Serampore College (pictured).

That library’s unique, at-risk archival materials, including early 19th century Bible translations in Sanskrit and numerous other Indian languages, will undergo digitization beginning in Fall 2018.

A new edition of World Christianity as Public Religion, edited by Raimundo C. Barreto Jr., Ronaldo Cavalcante and Wanderley Pereira da Rosa has been released by Fortress Press and added to the Library's collection.

The book was released in a bilingual edition in 2016, but the series was acquired, republished, and translated by Fortress Press in this new 2017 edition.

The forward is written by James Kay, the book contains articles by Luis N. Rivera-Pagán, Yvette Joy Harris-Smith, and Afe Adogame; and the work is dedicated to Donald M. Vorp, James Lenox Librarian (2012-2016).

Afe Adogame’s edited volume, Global perspectives on sports and Christianity is now available at the library as both an e- and print book.

This trial subscription, which runs until June 4, 2018, includes Religion and the Law, as well as several other subcollections.

To support the needs of students in January term classes, the Library will remain open 8am-9pm on Monday, January 15. All other Seminary offices* will be closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. The January term runs through Wednesday, January 17, 2018. (Extended due to an earlier snow closure.)

*Note: Both Special Collections and the Brick Café will be closed on January 15.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and peace and joy in the New Year! The Library will close at 6pm Thursday, December 21 and reopen on January 2, 2018.

Have a happy and healthy holiday season!
