The place to go is the Library Link -- OCC's online database.
New York Review of Books
At this site, click on the New York Review of Books icon to access thoughtful,
considered, and in-depth articles on politics, social issues, and the arts: in other
words, articles on life itself. As the name suggests, this is a book review, but each
article amounts to a survey of the field under study. I’ve read some fascinating
articles on Star Wars, prozac, Pi, Artificial intelligence, and Bosnia, in addition
to essays on Shakespeare and Virginia Woolf (and even references to Shakespeare’s
sister)
To use, click on the New York Review of Books icon, and go to "Search the
Archives."
If any of the articles look good, but you do not want to pay for them, our
library has paper copies of back issues.
Asbury Park Press
The place for local news – though it lacks a thorough archive.

the best writers of today.
