ARTS & LETTERS DAILY

This is a service of The Chronicle of Higher Education and covers “philosophy, aesthetics, literature, language, trends, breakthroughs, ideas, criticism, culture, history, music, art, disputes and gossip.” It is set up like a newspaper, with 4 columns: links, Articles of Note, New Books, and Essays and Opinions.New material is added six days a week. New links are added at or near the tops of sections, with older ones sliding down the columns accordingly. Most items will continue to be available for five or more days before being transferred to the archives (which date back to 1998). The links column categorizes its many links into newspapers, nota bene, magazines, book reviews, columnists, favorites, weblogs, radio news and music, diversions, classics, and Google/Refdesk.

I love their motto, Veritas odit moras, from Seneca’s version of Oedipus—it “Truth hates delay.” It would be a good motto for a library.
