March is Women’s Herstory Month! Take a look at the books we have selected to celebrate the month!


Many spheres of our lives are moving toward a hybrid of change and normalcy as we learn to live with and past the COVID-19 pandemic. One aspect of change that is here to stay with us is our deepening enmeshment in digital technologies for learning, communicating and creating. This ever-burgeoning paradigm shift brings with it profound implications for online surveillance, data privacy, misinformation, critical thinking, and civic responsibility.
The Digital Horizons workshop series will provide fresh explorations into the most important topics in emerging technologies relevant not only to education, but life as a digital citizen. This workshop series will be valuable to students across disciplines, both inside and outside of the classroom. For students pursuing further education and research opportunities, these workshops will provide the knowledge and skills to navigate digital spaces critically and confidently, resist Big Tech’s breach into our personal data, and prioritize creative and critical thinking in the age of generative A.I. For students entering the workforce, these workshops will give them the knowledge and skills to protect the privacy of customers, clients, and employers while equipping them with a foundation to innovate their workspaces through these new technologies. Participants will gain greater control over their online presence and will be able to make informed choices with regard to their online activities and use of AI. Powered tools.
All workshop sessions will be virtual.

Did you know that you have multiple Libraries in the Tribeca area supporting your learning journey and intellectual curiosity? That’s right, the New York Public Library has a host of resources that complement the resources at BMCC.
