New Trial: Crossroads for Newsbank Databases

With Crossroads, Temple users of certain Newsbank history databases such as early American Imprints and Early American Newspapers can now create private or shared collections of primary documents, permanently bookmark documents, and easily tag, annotate and comment on a vast range of materials.

Students might use the service to organize their research, write a note at just the right spot within a primary document, and collaborate with their classmates. Instructors might use the service to create reading lists for students, highlight an important passage within a document, lead online discussions around specific documents, and create and organize custom collections of documents for their own research.

Crossroads is currently available on a trial basis to the entire Temple University community. Links to the service appear directly within Early American Imprints, Series I and II. Please contact me with questions or for a demo.
