Communication librarian Christine Gola writes that UH students and faculty will soon have access to the entire archives of The New Yorker on line. The New Yorker is not on-line yet, but the data base in which it will appear is called Opinion Archives.
Opinion Archives is an invaluable source of information, containing searchable archives for several important magazines, including Commentary, Commonweal, Harpers Magazine, NACLA (a leftist newsletter on Latin America), The Nation, The National Review, The New Republic and The New York Review of Books.
These are major publications on both the right, the left and inbetween. The Harpers archive goes back before the Civil War, and makes for fascinating reading on historical subjects. The New York Review of Books runs some of the best essays on serious books in the country. To use them you have to enter your People Soft number and go through the library’s portal, but once you’re there, the archives are easy to use.
