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!

ScholarSpace: The Academic’s Place

Today, Judi Guzzy and I announced ScholarSpace, the institutional repository for JCCC. Soon, this space will become populated with journals, conference proceedings, occasional papers, and other documents which represent our collected scholarly output. This is a big step, not just for our library, but for our institution as an academic presence on the Web. To learn more, e-mail me, comment, or sign up at scholarspace.jccc.edu.

We’re live, on the Internet

To save the blog from being without content, here’s your obligatory “we’re here!” post.  And… we are!  We are right here and ready to set this on fire.  Figuratively of course:  we’re librarians, we deal with a lot of paper.

Before the school year kicks off, the library is a busy place getting prepped.  Hopefully, before you know that this is here, I’ll be able to put real content on here.
