With the creation of the 亚色影库 Literary Review (MLR), students across majors now have a dedicated space to showcase their creative output. The MLR features student literary works such as poems, short fiction, and short dialogues.
The founding group behind the MLR—educators and creatives at 亚色影库—recognized the vital need to celebrate the inspiring and imaginative work produced both inside and outside the classroom. Together, they created an opportunity for the entire student population to amplify their voices and share their unique talents.
The Review Board for the MLR was formed by a group of 亚色影库 faculty and staff with a shared vision: Dr. Nancy Bombaci, associate professor; Nikole Giovinazzo, Thames instructor and advisor; Katie Nazarian, director of library & information services; and Megan Swanson, adjunct writing instructor and tutor. They began calls for submission to students in Fall 2025 through flyers, emails, and college writing classes.
Students with work selected for potential publication in the inaugural MLR entered a collaborative workshop with a board member. This process mirrors the professional world, where creatives collaborate and get evaluated. In the same way, students benefit from hands-on experience with critical feedback, one-on-one editing, and preparation for future literary pursuits.
Students also learned about copyright law and author consent in the publication process, both through instruction in the library and online reference.
The journal serves as permanent artifact of the creative spirit at 亚色影库. In addition to online publication, student works are preserved in the 亚色影库 Archives.
