UWL now has access to the Gender Studies e-Book Collection from Duke University Press and Digital Theatre Plus, a streaming video service that focuses on live theatrical performances. The collections are available through Murphy Library to students, faculty and staff on campus, as well as off campus with login using NetID. The services are funded by the UWL College of Liberal Studies.
Duke University Press has long been recognized as a leader in publishing timely and important trade and scholarly books about gender. The Gender Studies e-Book Collection brings together more than 500 e-books in gay and lesbian studies, transgender studies, feminist theory and women's studies, including field-defining scholarship in queer theory. The collection includes many groundbreaking works in transnational women’s studies and queer theory and identity, with key titles from Gloria Anzaldúa, Jack Halberstam, Chandra Talpade Mohanty, and Eve Sedgwick, among others.
Digital Theatre Plus includes high-definition video and audio performances of hundreds of plays, ballets, musicals, and operas from premier theaters such as the Globe, the Royal Opera House, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and the Old and Young Vic. In addition to performances, Digital Theatre Plus includes filmed interviews with playwrights, directors, designers, musicians and actors, offering insights into every aspect of the theatre production enterprise.
The entire campus community will benefit from these worthy additions to Murphy Library collections. Faculty and staff are encouraged to point students to these resources in class and with links on D2L and other course pages.
Both the Gender Studies e-Book Collection and Digital Theatre Plus are temporarily featured on the Murphy Library home page and will be permanently made available in the library’s A-Z list of databases, as well as relevant Subject Guides.
