Yale University Library has launched a new online tool which enables users to access outdated CD-ROMs on current computer systems.

Nota Bene, Yale Library’s much-loved newsletter since 1987, has been reborn in digital form. The second online issue features stories about a new exhibition space in Sterling Memorial Library, a new tool for preserving digital collections, an international collaboration to decipher a rare library manuscript, and more. When Nota Bene debuted in 1987, then University Librarian Penny Abell said it would “foster a general awareness of the library’s great strengths.” This new digital format, to be published monthly, aims to continue the legacy. Subscribe online, selecting “Yale Library News.”
