We haven’t added anything to our catalog in a couple of days. Give us a break, it’s summer! On the bright side, we do have tens of thousands of items, including one of the best albums ever. Stop by and peruse our CDs if you get a chance.

Slowing Down is Good for Our DVDs
We’ve been waiting for some new books to post. Since we’re near the end of the campus’s fiscal year, we’re adding fewer books to the catalog nowadays.
We’re still adding DVDs, mostly replacements from damaged or worn down items. If you haven’t hit up our DVD section, let it be known that it is huge. We’ve got a lot of feature films, including the ever-important ReAnimator, and of course more popular things like Avatar (which will be on the shelf in a couple days) and classics like Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In addition, we’re loaded with documentaries and educational films, too, including the epic miniseries Planet Earth. Stop by, browse, and grab something that catches your eye.
The Best Movie of the 2000s?
We looked at many End-of-the-Decade lists last year, from music to movies, and one film that was seemingly always in the top 5 if not just flat-out number 1 was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. We just replaced our copy, and we recommend it when you get the free time.
Welcome to JCCC, Summer Semester I
What’s crackin’? Summer Semester I is now underway and whether you’re new or returning, we thought it might be a good idea to remind you of some of our resources here:
- Obviously, we’ve got this blog for noise about what’s happening in the library.
- We have a Twitter feed and Facebook page, and we’re not above asking to be your friend. Plus, we use the Twitter feed to answer any questions you might have.
- Our LibGuides area collection of study resources based around topics that you’re likely to be assigned at some point, as well as an RSS Feed that pumps out all of our new books.
- And of course, our library’s website has our catalog, a lot of databases, and plenty of other resources to help you out.
Don’t ever hesitate to swing by for help, to relax, or to say hi! We’re glad you’re at JCCC and hope we can be helpful during your time here!
300 Articles, Everybody!
What’s shaking, JCCC? I know, I know: It’s break, those few days where you don’t have to think about being in class, and faculty don’t have to think about teaching class.
But we never sleep! Ever! This morning at 12:21am, we uploaded the 300th item into ScholarSpace @ JCCC, and it is a doozy! The paper is actually a book written by Power Librarian Andrea Kempf entitled Shared Lives: Women Who Wrote for Women. It’s all about these prolific romance writers whose novels featured many events that, Andrea posits, actually reflected more of their lives than it did any certain fantasy.
So thanks to all the contributing authors for helping ScholarSpace hit this milestone! between that and our 7500+ full text downloads, I’d say it has been quite the success so far!
