New & Improved Website
As part of Barnard’s website redesign project, we’ve made some exciting changes to the library website—aiming to make it cleaner, simpler, and easier to use. Plus, we’ve added new info to help you make use of all the resources in the Milstein Center. Happy browsing!

In August we added an ebook collection, a digital archive, and a database:
- Aurora Metro Books: an independent publisher in the UK which has built a wide-ranging and highly contemporary drama collection by Black and Asian writers
- The quest for labor equality in household work: National Domestic Workers Union, 1965-1979: Includes records of the United Domestic Workers Union (U.S) from 1965-1979
- Women’s Studies International: Provides citations and some abstracts to the core areas of Women’s studies
