Welcome back! Let’s get research started a little better

Welcome to JCCC, everybody! If you’ve been here before, we’re glad you’re back. If it’s your first time, the library would like to apologize before anyone else about the parking. It affects everyone from faculty to students, so we feel your pain.

That being said, why don’t we focus on some things we’ve made easier? Like research! With so many resources available here, it can be daunting to check each one individually. So why not check most of them all at once?

BOOM! Summon! We’re really excited about this product, so we encourage you to check it out right here.

Let us know what you think after you give it a spin! We’re excited about it and still improving it. We’d love your feedback!

Better Know a Collection: JCCC Honors Journal

Our digital home for everything JCCC and scholarly, ScholarSpace, has many fine resources. One of the most exciting is the JCCC Honors Journal, where articles are submitted by Honors Students to be accepted.

Only two issues in, there’s plenty of time for Honors students to work with the fabulous Patricia Decker, Honors Program Facilitator, to submit for the next issue. OR! If you aren’t an taking any Honors classes yet, consider taking a class next semester, push yourself to succeed, and have a chance to get published!

Better Know a Collection: Student Art

Untitled by Hilary Stainaker, one of many fantastic works!

Have you seen the Student Art Collection in ScholarSpace?

The Art Department at JCCC has historically been able to procure exemplary student work to be added to the permanent art collection at JCCC. Larry Thomas, faculty member from the Art Department, spent a great amount of time photographing the collection around campus, and with other images provided by Bret Gustafson, we were able to provide access to them via ScholarSpace, our home for campus-borne creations ranging from articles, to presentations, to (obviously) art.

So check it out! there’s a lot of great stuff in there, and we’re proud to be making it available for your perusal.

LibGuides! It’s Like Instant Reference!

Barry is just one of the librarians creating LibGuides to help you out!

With the semester winding down, you might be able to squeeze in some reading time. OR! Maybe you’re an avid reader with less time than normal.

LibGuides will not fail you! Check out Marsha Cousino‘s guide, Great Books Around 200 Pages. It’s already one of the most popular guides this year, and its packed with fiction and non-fiction for your (abbreviated) reading pleasure.

But don’t stop there! Plenty of guides covering a variety of topics are out there for you to peruse!
