Do you know that Providence College has its own website that can be used to easily publish papers or articles online? If you haven't already seen our Digital Commons, check out the link below. It's filled with student and faculty papers, online journals, and scanned items from our Special and Archival Collections department.

One of our online journals in the Digital Commons is Providence College English professor Peter Johnson's compilation entitled The Prose Poem . It's no longer in print, but you can read poems from this journal online here!

Phillips Memorial Library has lots more stuff to use than just books, magazines and Windows computers. We have also have a whole room of Macintosh computers, as well as other gadgets you can use to scan and digitize items for your projects or papers.

Here's what's currently available:

• 5 Epson flatbed scanners for scanning letter sized originals, slides, or 35 mm film negatives
  
• 2 HP document-feed scanners feeder scanners for rapidly scanning unbound letter-sized originals
• 2 Microtek flatbed scanners with 12" x 17" scanning area for digitizing large items.
