Happy Fall Semester...

The DC Library would like to welcome everyone back and wish all a great Fall semester! We hope everyone had a great summer - maybe time to travel and relax!

We have a lot going on at the library. To note just a few...

- - Library Sessions. Be sure to schedule your library sessions. The Fall semester is typically our busiest time. We will make every effort to get you your preferred day and time. Come by the library or call us at 206-7267. These sessions can be in the library's learning studio or in your classroom. We can take the entire class time or just 10-15 minutes to introduce the library to your students.



-- Research Guides! If you have a research guide and want it updated to reflect your current assignment, just let us know. These are great for our Writing Intensive Courses! Don't know what a Research Guide is - check them out at http://libguides.pima.edu/home - we can customize them to your courses.


-- Open Lab is returning! The DC Library has an Open Lab each semester that allows students to come in and work with a librarian nearby. This is great for students needing help finding resources, citing resources in a paper, working on a Works Cited/Reference page. We will announce the dates in mid-September. If you want to give (extra) credit/points to students who attend, we are glad to submit names or sign slips.


- - New Items! As always, new items came in throughout the summer, so come and check them out!  On a similar note, if you have an item that you would like to have the library add to its collection, that would supplement your course(s), please send us the name, author and year published and we will make every attempt to order it. It takes about 2 weeks (!) for new items to arrive. Also, if you let me know, I will be glad to send you an email when something comes in in your discipline; email me at tcstanley@pima.edu


As always, the library is here for your students and you. If there is anything we can do for you, just let us know!
