This summer, library staff completed a reutilization of space on the Ground Floor to provide more room for studying as well as highlighting the art-related books and current periodicals. We plan to expand the amount of seating in this area to provide more study space in the future.
In addition to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, McCain Library offers full-image online access to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC). The following link includes a reproduction of the daily AJC print edition plus older content, blogs, and web edition articles from the long running Atlanta news source.
We will be closed this coming Monday, June 19th in observance of Juneteenth. We will re-open for our regular hours on Tuesday, June 20th at 8:00AM.
This year’s seed library has been a great success with students, staff and faculty visiting McCain Library to retrieve a variety of seeds. We still have plenty of seeds left that we would love to provide to the Agnes Scott community.
Stop by the first-floor circulation desk to choose from our remaining seed library. Also, we have a complete LibGuide that lists everything you would want to know concerning our seed library.
Campus community, are you taking advantage of McCain Library’s electronic subscriptions to both the NYT and the WSJ? If not, visit McCain’s LibGuides for quick and easy directions that will allow you to access full content from both newspapers wherever you are.
Recent additions to our electronic subscriptions include the New York Times audio app. The app includes podcasts, new summaries and a host of cultural programming.
For assistance, please contact McCain Library.
