DC Library would like to highlight one of our newer resources - Oxford's Very Short Introductions.
These compact books hold a wealth of information, giving students an introduction to a subject with an introduction, its history, how it has influenced society, and other key points. We have almost 300 of them in subjects ranging form religions, technology, sociology, history and more.
These concise books are conveniently located on a spindle near the reference desk. Stop by and check them out. Feel free to pass this information on to your students as they begin their research.
Speaking of research, just a reminder that we have ChromeBooks for the students to check out. If you need computers in your class for a day or the semester, we can assist you with that. Students can use them anywhere on campus and if they need one at home*, their instructor just needs to shoot me an email or come in and we can arrange that!
Also, if you have any items you would like the library to purchase to supplement your courses, just come by with the titles and if possible, the ISBNs. (You can also email them to me.) These could be items for later this spring or for a later semester. We will email you when the item has arrived.
If there is anything else we can help you with...just ask!

*the ChromeBooks can access any (open) wifi connection. If students do not have Internet at home, they can access Verizon for free, but will need to input credit card information. I have tried this and the credit card is never charged. For more information, contact Theresa.
