    SEVEN ARL LIBRARIES LAUNCH SCHOLARS PORTAL PROJECT IN COLLABORATION WITH
    FRETWELL-DOWNING INC.

    The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) announces the launch of the
    Scholars Portal Project, a collaboration between several ARL member
    libraries and Fretwell-Downing Inc. (FD). The initial libraries
    participating in the project are the University of Southern California,
    University of California - San Diego, Dartmouth College, University of
    Arizona, Arizona State University, Iowa State University, and the
    University of Utah. Plans call for expanding the number of participating
    libraries over the course of the three-year project.

    The goal of the Scholars Portal Project is to provide software tools for
    an academic community to have a single point of access on the Web to
    find high-quality information resources and, to the greatest extent
    possible, to deliver the information and related services directly to
    the user's desktop.

    Kent State at Baruch College, May 6, 1970
    New Online Exhibit at Newman Library, Baruch College, CUNY
    <http://newman.baruch.cuny.edu/digital/2002/kentstate>

    In the aftermath of the Kent State shootings, Baruch College like many
    campuses across the country, held a commemorative service. This took place
    on Wednesday, May 6, 1970. The service was recorded and excerpts were
    included in the college yearbook of the following year. In addition to
    this service, other activities took place over the course of several days
    and photographs and written accounts were made of some of these. This
    material offers a valuable insight into the contemporary reaction of
    ordinary students and faculty, in this case at Baruch, to the shootings at
    Kent State.

    In commemoration of the tragic events which took place at Kent State on May
    4 1970 and the reaction of profound shock and disquiet that this event
    produced on campuses both here at Baruch and elsewhere, the William and
    Anita Newman Library together with the Baruch College Archives makes this
    exhibit available.
