Libraries News for CMDI - Fall 2025

Access the newly launched streaming service from the Video Data Bank at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The VDB’s outstanding collection includes the work of more than 600 artists and 6,000 video art titles. You’ll need to use a VPN to access this database from off-campus.

The Buffs One Read and the Culture Crawl on Oct. 8, 2025 are great opportunities to incorporate educational programming into your coursework. 

Subject librarians work with CMDI departments to build collections to support your department and they are experts on information sources and services in their subject areas. Contact your subject librarian to:

• Suggest a library purchase to add titles not already held by the University Libraries
• Request a Library Research Seminar to schedule a class visit
• Discuss strategies to integrate information literacy into your courses
• Book a consultation to learn the most useful library tools, techniques and databases for your research
