Welcome to the first installment of the recurring “New Books at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library” feature. Every few weeks, we will feature a list of new books (new to the library, not necessarily newly published) that have been selected by the liaison librarians at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library. These New Books lists represent only a selection of books acquired by the library in recent months. All new books in print can be found on the main floor of the library, organized by subject area. This is a great collection to browse whether you’re looking for a volume of poetry or the latest deep dive into Big Tech, and everything in between. Come and visit us at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library and enjoy the vast and diverse collection of books selected just for you.
