  • Cheering on the Class of 2021

    Congratulations to the 2021 Brock University Graduating Class.

    We’ve shared late nights and early mornings with you. We’ve been at the ready when you’ve dashed in to print assignments and loaned countless course reserve readings and whiteboard markers. We’ve explained the research process, and taught dozens of workshops from 3D printing and ArcGIS to programming, research 101, and yoga.

    All of those interactions big and small, in-person and online have led to this great day – your graduation from Brock University.  We are proud of your accomplishments and offer our whole-hearted best wishes.

    Surgité!

  • New titles from Cambridge Histories Online

    Cambridge Histories, with over 100 years of content and 350+ volumes, is a series of continually updated reference works covering a broad range of subjects across the humanities and social sciences. Cambridge University Press intended the series to cover all of human history with concentrations in political and cultural history, literature, philosophy, religious studies, music, and the arts. Each volume includes authoritative narrative accounts by specialists and extensive bibliographies. Some histories are individual volumes, while others are part of multi-volume series (eg. History of Violence). The search interface is simple and straightforward, the text is fully searchable and books or book chapters can be linked directly from Sakai. Downloading of individual chapters is permitted.

    New 2021 titles include: The Cambridge History of the Kurds and The Cambridge History of Terrorism.

    For more information about Cambridge Histories Online, please contact Laurie Morrison at [email protected]
