UCSB Health & Wellness has partnered with UCSB Library to fund and grow the Well-being Resources Collection, which has become increasingly important as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect mental health.
Nearly 80 new titles are now accessible at UCSB Library, of which about half are e-books and half are print books.
These resources span a wide range of topics, including healthy eating, stress management, sexual health, mindfulness, positive psychology, community-building, and even forest bathing, among others.
Since the UCSB Library launched a project in 2002 to record and digitize its Cylinder Audio Archive, the archive has grown to become the largest online collection of downloadable historic sound recordings.
This work to preserve the earliest commercial form of recorded sound and make it broadly available to download or stream for free wouldn’t be possible without the help of dedicated students like Stewart Engart.
