Friendly Reminder from the DC Library...

This is just a friendly reminder to use your Employee ID card when checking out items.

Every semester we have a new group of student aides who are not familiar with our campus's faculty, staff and administrators. (With over 900 instructors, it is hard for the best of us to be familiar with everyone!) By using your your Employee ID (or community card if you are an adjunct), it will help expedite the process.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the library.

*Chromebooks are a web-based laptop. The laptops allows the user to use Google apps, such as Google docs. There is no installed software (i.e. Microsoft products). They must be connected to the Internet to work - there is no offline mode. They are fast to connect and hold a charge, although a power cord is included.
