"In omnibus requiem quaesivi, et nusquam inveni nisi in angulo cum libro."
—Thomas a Kempis

The Olin Library 14 Day Books have been renamed New & Noteworthy Books. The books can still be borrowed for two weeks at a time, but we have changed the name, both in response to a user survey we conducted last spring, and to add emphasis to the collection's intended use.

Most of the time we—the staff of the Library—work with you as faculty, staff, students, and visitors to address your academic research needs and concerns. Here at the New & Noteworthy Books shelves and Web site, we get to interact with you as readers.

Here you will find a selection of the new books coming into Olin Library. Books that we think you will find of particular interest: new novels, the latest mysteries, significant biographies, background resources on current events, etc. Books for recreational reading or entertainment. Books to inform. Books for your research projects. Books for books' sake. Books for your sake.
