Welcome Back

So, hey, what’s up?

Welcome to the first day of Fall Semester ’09! The library has a lot of new resources like Mango (learn languages… lots of them!), new LibGuides to help you research, and plenty of new books to help you cheat… at video games.

Okay, you have to do your own coursework… but we’re certainly here to help you along the way.

And we’re able to be reached multiple ways:

  • Leave a Facebook note
  • Reply or Direct Message @jccclib on Twitter
  • Use our chat client (to your right!)
  • Shoot us an e-mail
  • We also still answer the phone
  • And we exist in person

Despite the weather today, it’s going to be a good year.

Accidental Billionaires

Chances are that you, your kid, your brother, or plenty of other people you know use Facebook.  This library even has a Facebook page.  But what’s funny is that the two founders of one of the most recognized social networking tools don’t even really like each other.  at least, that’s what Ben Mezrich’s book, Accidental Billionaires, claims.  In it, you’ll discover an account that begins with the hacking of a Harvard student image database to rank how hot the female students are, and ends with the youngest billionaire ever.  That’s a lot of ground to cover in the middle, but should be an interesting read for anyone with a Facebook profile or an interest in social networking.

Or getting rich quick.
