ALERT – Library Computers Undergoing Summer Maintenance

During the summer months when traffic is slower in the Paley Library, our Library Systems Department has an opportunity to perform routine maintenance on our many computers so that they perform well throughout the academic year.

Beginning Tuesday, July 29 computers will start becoming unavailable so that we can work on them. Only specific groups of computers in different areas of the Library will be affected at any time, so that while there will be less computers available, there should be sufficient computers to meet your needs.

In August the computers at SEAL and Ambler will be maintained. The administration of the Temple University Libraries apologizes in advance for any inconvenience this may cause to the University community, but we hope you will appreciate our desire to keep our computers in the best possible condition for your benefit. Thank you. Here is the maintenance schedule:

June 29 – July 2, 2010: Computers in the Paley Information Commons will be reimaged. All 76 computers will be unavailable while the reimaging is in process.

July 6-7, 2010: Computers on the east side of Paley near the windows will be reimaged. All 26 computers will be unavailable while the reimaging is in process.

July 12-16, 2010: Computers on the 2nd & 3rd floors of Paley will be reimaged.

August 17-19, 2010: Public computers in SEAL will be reimaged with the Fall 2010 image.

August 23-25, 2010: Public computers at Ambler will be reimaged with Fall 2010 image.

Audio Shakespeare in Literature Online

Literature Online now includes the Arkangel productions of Shakespeare’s plays.

The Arkangel production of audio plays brings together all of Shakespeare’s plays in fully dramatised recordings featuring many noted Royal Shakespeare Company actors. Noted performances include Simon Russell Beale as Hamlet, Joseph Fiennes as Romeo and Sir John Gielgud as Gower in Pericles. The series won the 2004 Audie Award from the Audio Publishers Association and has garnered wide praise with the New York Times describing the series as a "rhapsody of words, assembled for the ear".

Each of the 38 plays is available in full and unabridged form based on a modern authoritative edition and can be played on any mp3 compatible media player. To navigate to the complete list of audio plays simply click on the new Multimedia link in the left hand toolbar. Audio plays can be accessed at scene level and have been linked with the Full Text already available in Literature Online. With links from the Full Text of the plays to the audio versions it is possible to seamlessly listen to and read all of Shakespeare’s dramatic works.
