Here in the library at FIT, we are all holding our breath for the return of the folks who make us the answerers of questions that we are: the students.<\/p>\n

I’ve noticed more people on the streets in the city.\u00a0 I’ve noticed more couples walking hand in hand, or spread out with a few steps between them.\u00a0 People are returning to NYC to pick up their autumn work loads.\u00a0 And this means FIT students are coming back!<\/p>\n

We’ve got some programs coming up to help introduce folks to the library.\u00a0 Student ambassadors have been giving tours all summer to prospective students and their parents.\u00a0 Next week is New Student Orientation Week.\u00a0 The Library will be a part of the Student Success Fair which will be between the A & B Buildings (New names?) next Monday, August 19th.\u00a0 Please stop by the Gladys Marcus Library’s booth to meet the librarians and get some good information about the many ways the library can help students.<\/p>\n

So what does “going back to school” mean to you?\u00a0 New bookbags?\u00a0 New art supplies?\u00a0 New clothes?\u00a0 New pencils and notebooks?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

New boots for fall?\u00a0 These last couple years have been great boots years.\u00a0 This look on the cover of this week’s FN<\/strong><\/em> goes great with these boots.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I thought it would be fun to do a quick scan of a few FIT Library resources for inspiration about these and other creative topics, like workspace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the current issue of Dwell<\/em><\/strong>, the writers interview designers to ask them how they design their own studio spaces.\u00a0 This could inspire those of you moving into smaller NYC spaces, like dorms or apartments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Periodicals & Electronic Services department (PERS) welcomes you and has lots of great materials to spark your creativity.\u00a0 If you’re looking for ideas for women’s clothing, here are a few Fall-focused titles:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paper<\/strong><\/em> is a New York institution.\u00a0 Forward-looking and a bit of an insider title, ask for it at the desk.<\/p>\n

Essence<\/strong><\/em>, one of our Display titles, is a classic.\u00a0 We have most issues of this title going back to 1970.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the gentlemen, we have many options as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TeenVogue<\/em> <\/strong>covers trends for both young men and young women.\u00a0 This issue just happens to feature the band One Direction, dressed in their hippest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Men’s Non-No<\/em><\/strong> is a Japanese title for young men, featuring popular Asian street fashion.\u00a0 We have magazines from all over the world, chosen to highlight the different markets and customers of the global fashion economy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But for some of you, the new school year is more about raw materials and inspiration.\u00a0 The PERS unit doesn’t have much to offer you in the way of materials, but we have lots of inspiration, no matter what your major.\u00a0 Whether your a fine art major, illustration, interiors or home products, or determined to break out in the worlds of fashion or computer animation, we’ve got visuals to inspire and stir you!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For those of you who think fall means new pigments and brushes, we subscribe to lots of art world titles, including the classics like ARTNews<\/strong><\/em>, ArtForum<\/strong><\/em>, American Artist<\/strong><\/em> and Art + Auction<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Finally, for those of you who pull your palettes out of the ether, we offer Computer Graphics World<\/em><\/strong> and Animation<\/em><\/strong> for you to feed your head.\u00a0 Please come visit once you get unpacked!<\/p>\n
