Did you know that Johnson County Community College has an Archives? The JCCC Archives is dedicated to JCCC history and maintains the College’s historic records, photographs, newspapers, and other ephemeral materials that track the programs, policies, and student activities that take place at JCCC. This photograph from the openning of JCCC at its temporary location in Merriam, KS in September 1969 is an example of some of the historic photographs of JCCC.
If you are interested in the development of JCCC, or have any questions about JCCC history stop by the College Archives in LIB 353C and talk to Molly Khan, the College Archivist, to explore the collections.
Here’s a button a library staff member can be proud to wear! Do you realize that every person behind a desk in the library is there purposefully in order to help you? So come and let us help you with your research, so that you become the “best that you can be.”
At this time of year students and instructors alike are EXHAUSTED! Getting enough sleep just doesn’t seem possible. The November 2003 issue of Scientific American has a good article on the how and whys of sleep. And, if you think that you are sleep deprived, the February 2013 issue deals with “astronaut insomnia.” They’re not exactly in a good location to go out and take a long walk to relax you for sleep.

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!
Test prep books are, pretty obviously, useful for people gearing up for the appropriate test. However, many people find them useful well before then!
Take, for example, the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE). This week’s book, Master the VTNE, was made to prepare you for the big exam all Vet Techs will have to pass, but anyone with an interest in a veterinary career, or perhaps interested in the differences between being a Vet Tech and a Veterinarian, might find this informative. Who knows, maybe it will persuade them to get on the track that will eventually lead them to this test!
We have plenty of test preparation resources, from nursing to dentistry, to GRE exams; some books, some digital (like Learning Express Library). If you’re interested in any of these careers or exams, don’t hesitate to contact us.
The JCCC Honors Journal, a publication of exceptional student work at JCCC, is back with a new edition. You’ll find it right here, and I think it’s one of the finest projects the library is honored to be associated with. The hard work of the students, their faculty advisors, and Honors Program Facilitator, Pat Decker, makes this a quality publication.
So check it out! This issue’s topics range from a veteran’s experience coming back from Afghanistan to different forms of Japanese textile. With such diverse knowledge being shared, there’s likely something for everyone!
