Brandeis Library News

Celebrate National Poetry Month with Brandeis Library! 

• Join us for Open Mic Night, on Wednesday, April 9, at 7pm, in the Rapaporte Treasure Hall. All in the Brandeis community are encouraged to attend--to read a poem or just listen! Light refreshments will be provided.
• Visit our book display on Farber 1, around the corner from Starbucks, to pick up a book of poems. Also, check out the April e-book collection in DeisGallery.
• Check out our online poetry collections! Library databases aren’t just for secondary sources and academic articles. Some of our databases have primary sources and literature, too! Explore Proquest One Literature’s poetry and other literature collections to browse famous works during poetry month!

From working with students throughout the year, Brandeis librarians know that many students work on great research papers and projects! We are excited to offer Library Research Excellence Prizes for the ninth year. These prizes recognize students who apply sophisticated information literacy skills to the selection, evaluation, and synthesis of sources for a research project. We encourage undergraduate and graduate students to apply, and we encourage faculty to promote the prizes to their students! 

For the 2025 prizes, we will accept work that was produced between May 14, 2024, and May 13, 2025. The application deadline is May 13, 2025. 

For more information, including submission forms, please visit the Library Research Excellence Prizes webpage.
