Qwest TV: April Eresource of the Month
|
April is Jazz Appreciation Month! The Brown University Library is highlighting Qwest TV for education, a video resource that includes a wide range of music content with particular strengths in rare jazz performances and jazz festival documentaries. Created by Quincy Jones and curated by his team, Qwest maintains an archive of more than 1,300 videos; Qwest also commissions new performances and interviews with some of the most intriguing performers of the music world. Enjoy watching and listening to a wide range of musicians from Miles Davis and Pharoah Sanders to Moondog and Dafné Kritharas.
Please note that for full Qwest.TV/edu functionality, you will need to enable pop-ups in your browser and sign in using your Brown credentials. You may also need to clear your cache.
The library expert whose specialties intersect with this database is Laura Stokes (laura_stokes@brown.edu), Performing Arts Librarian. You can reach out to her directly for virtual or in-person consultations, classes, and meetings.

Library Stats Quest Week – Spring 2024
|
Brown University Library wants to hear from you!
Did you know that the busiest day at the Library last fall was December 12 (over 5,500 people visited the libraries!). And that students consulted with librarians over 1,300 times last semester on research questions? Statistics like these help the Library better understand the needs of the community and examine ways to improve our services.
During this week (April 15-21), as you visit any University Library space, please take a few seconds to answer a very brief exit survey about your experience: tinyurl.com/BULlibstats. QR codes linking to the survey will be posted around the library buildings, and hard copy surveys will also be available on-site. Your input will help us better understand why you use the Library and how we can improve our services.
If you have thoughts, ideas, or suggestions for us but don’t find yourself at the Library this week, you are welcome to fill out our general feedback form, which is always available on our website, library.brown.edu. This is your Library, and we’d love to hear from you!
Thank you!
