Andrew Adler, Chair of the Department of Library Collections & Discovery, emphasized the importance of these new subscriptions in preparing students for the global stage.

"Resources like the The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal allow students to engage in discussions from an informed position and formulate their own viewpoints."
