Avery Library’s drawings and archives are on the road. Museums across the country, including the San Diego Museum of Art, University of Virginia Art Museum and more, are displaying works on loan from Avery in their current exhibitions.

The Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals has expanded its online access and now offers greater full-text articles from scholarly journals via a DOI system.

Journalism Library

Columbia’s Journalism Library presents key facts from the FCC’s latest report, The Informational Needs of Communities: The Changing Media Landscape in the Broadband Age.
