IMATS News & Announcements

As we begin spooky season and reminisce Central Park in autumn, we welcome you to the September/October 2020 issue of @barnlib. Keep reading for news highlights from the BLAIS Staff at Milstein!

We're recognizing Professor Lozano for her innovative and collaborative 'Radio Immigrante' project! We've also named three runner-ups - Meredith Benjamin, Wendy Schor-Haim, and Cecelia Lie-Spahn - for their work with the Zine library.

IMATS Media Specialist Karl-Mary Akre, BC'16 is leaving Barnard to pursue an MFA at UT Austin.

From our sweaty homes, where we wish we were in the MLC complaining that the AC is too cold, welcome to the July 2020 issue of @barnlib.  

The Digital Humanities Center, Center for Engaged Pedagogy, and IMATS hosted a three-day, virtual intensive for faculty to design assignments that critically engaged with digital technologies.

Welcome to the June 2020 issue of @barnlib. BLAIS full-time staff are working from as far north as Vermont and as far south as Georgia. From our homes to yours...enjoy!

Ruby Mastrodimos '18, the Sloate Media Center Post-Baccalaureate fellow, directed and edited a music video for Long Neck's new album "World's Strongest Dog."

We asked @barnlib student staff to share how and what they're doing since we went online in March and invited them to upload a photo of themselves or one that represents this time period for them.

UPDATE 9/22/20: This service is no longer available. For Barnard students looking to access the Adobe Creative Suite, please use Apporto. This service is run through BCIT, please contact them with questions.
