Just A Recommendation!


I have just finished reading a wonderful book! Normally, I wouldn't recommend a book, as everyone's taste in reading is different, but this is a book for everyone! The title is Life Is So Good, and it's the remarkable story of George Dawson, the grandson of a slave who learned to read when he was 98!!! Not only is it a good read, but it's encouraging to people of all ages who have struggled through life. Teachers, if you have students who are discouraged or think they'll never make it, tell them the story of the man who went back to school at 98!

  2. When the My GTCC Blackboard screen appears, click on the GTCC Library tab near the top of the screen.
  3. When the next screen appears, click on the 2nd link - Library Databases - Login Information & Passwords.
  4. When the next screen appears, click on the Click Here button.
  5. When the next screen appears, click on the Click here once more for your passwords button.
  6. The next screen to appear will be the Off-Campus Login Information web page which contains the usernames and passwords to several GTCC Library database services.
