Announcement | Book Published by Author and Performing Arts Librarian Laura Stokes
|
As part of the Music Bibliographers Series, Routledge has published Fanny Hansel: A Research and Information Guide, written by Laura Stokes, PhD, Brown University Performing Arts Librarian and Head of the Orwig Music Library.
The book is an important addition to the growing study of women composers and performers.
Publisher Description:
Fanny Hensel: A Research and Information Guide provides scholars in Hensel studies with a resource to navigate the research surrounding the composer’s over 450 musical works. As part of the larger blossoming of women’s music history, new research in the 1980s and 1990s promoted an awareness of Hensel’s output, in particular in the genres of the lied and the solo piano work. This research guide includes an introductory chapter, a summary paragraph at the beginning of each chapter, and annotations for more than 500 entries, focusing on scholarly works as well as selected articles from trade publications, catalogs, and Internet resources.
The Brown University Library congratulates our colleague on this remarkable accomplishment.

Event | PhD Student Recruitment
|
On March 14, 2018, the Library hosted a portion of the joint Humanities PhD Recruitment event organized by the Dean of the Faculty. In the past, each department had their own separate event for undecided, admitted students. In an new approach, eight humanities departments joined together to offer prospective students the opportunity to meet each other and to hear about special research and teaching opportunities from the Graduate School, the Center for Language Studies, the Cogut Institute, and the Library.
Library staff described graduate fellowships available in the John Hay Library, the Center for Digital Scholarship, and the Mellon Foundation-funded Digital Publishing Program, as well as other opportunities for graduate students to augment their disciplinary training through working with expert library staff on a range of projects. We look forward to collaborating with the new PhD candidates who decide to matriculate at Brown.

NOTICE: Elsevier Data Leak. Action Required.
|
Brown University has learned of a data leak at Elsevier, the provider of platforms such as Science Direct and Mendeley, and a major publisher of scholarly journals. An Elsevier server was exposing user emails, usernames, and passwords in plain text for an unknown length of time. Password reset links might also have been leaked.
Elsevier has fixed the leak and is investigating the error. The company has further stated that it will provide notice to individuals affected by the breach, and that it is working to reset user accounts.
Please note that Brown University login credentials have not been compromised, and do not need to be changed. If you only use your Brown username and password to gain access to these resources, and have not set up an account with an Elsevier resource to save searches, create lists of publications, or use Mendeley, you are not affected by this issue.
If you have created such an account with an Elsevier resource, the University recommends that you change the password associated with that Elsevier account immediately. If you use the same password to access your Brown and/or Google accounts, you should change them as well.
Remember that, as a sound practice, you should not reuse passwords between online services. When choosing a password, please create a strong password that you do not use on any other service. CIS offers specific guidance on creating and using strong passwords.
