Knowledge Unlatched
BC Libraries continues to support this open access project, which funds the “opening” of selected eBooks from scholarly publishers. This year includes a STEM section, which is particularly strong in the environmental sciences.  KU titles are also findable when searching our online catalog. For more information, contact Sally Wyman, Sr. Bibliographer for Chemistry and Physics.

Early Franciscan Sources and Early Commentaries on the Rule of the Friars Minor provide electronic access to significant writing by Francis of Assisi, Clare of Assisi, and Isabelle of France, as well as to medieval commentary on the monastic rule which governed the life of the Franciscans. For more information, please contact Chris Strauber, Senior Research Librarian/Bibliographer for theology.

Science of Synthesis
Boston College users now have access to individual monograph titles in the Science of Synthesis (SoS) database (Thieme Medical Publishers).
