Changes in the Library Summer 2008

The library has been busy this summer. See below for a brief description of all the changes:

• We have a new Service Desk. Check out materials; ask reference questions; schedule library instruction classes all in one place.
• An updated Library Orientation Worksheet is now available. If you have old copies throw them away. The new worksheet focuses more on the research options at the library and directs students to create a citation.
• Our website address has changed: http://www.gtcc.edu/lib Update your bookmarks!
• Accessing a database from home has now become much easier! No more numerous usernames and passwords. You can find further information by going to : http://www.gtcc.edu/lib/RemoteAccessPoliciesProcedures.html
• Ebscohost, a database vendor for most of our online databases, has released a new interface in July 2008. This may confuse students at first, but we will be happy to walk them through the new screens. Access Academic Search Premier to see the changes.
• A new subject guide for this year’s All College Read is available. The web site address is: http://www.gtcc.edu/lib/Guides/AllCampusRead/thepleasurewasmine.html
