New Library space in 3-D!!

Everyone at the Library is getting excited about our new space! The new space, Center for Integrated Learning, will include the Library, Computer Commons, Tutor Center and Writing Lab. If you have been walking about the area you will notice the library shelves are up and books are starting to be placed on the shelves.

The Library and Computer Commons will be closed for our move back into the new space during Intersession, but more about that later...

If you would like to see what the new space will look like (well, not exactly, but you will get an idea of how the space is divided up) check out this 3-D video!

Library Instruction for your classes...

Just a reminder to schedule your classes for library instruction. Due to the library being renovated, we come to your class with laptops. We can do a full class period, a portion of your class or split it between two or more sessions. (Some instructors like the latter, as it allows the students to settle into their research and have the librarians involved at different stages of their work.)

Call 206-7267 or stop by to research your day and time.

Online Access to Arizona Daily Star...

Just wanted to update you on the status of access the Arizona Daily Star online. We know many of you use it in your classrooms, so wanted to give you a heads up.

It appears that the PCC libraries will not have access to America's Newspapers (by NewsBank) this semester.

Due to issues with the vendor, PCC Libraries will be unable to offer access to America's Newspapers (by NewsBank) which provides access to many state newspapers, including the Arizona Daily Start (1991-current), as well as local papers such as La Estella de Tucson and The Explorer.

Full-text articles from Arizona Daily Star (2001-current) are still available through Newspaper Source (by Ebsco), which can be accessed via the Library Home page (www.pima.edu/library or via the library tab in MyPima) >> Magazine, Newspapers, and Journal Articles >> Newspapers >> Newspaper Source. Older issues of the Arizona Daily Star going back to 1870 are available on microfilm at the West Campus Library.

Current issues, as well as some archives of La Estella de Tucson and The Explorer can still be accessed directly through the websites of each newspaper.

Please take this into account as you are planning assignments for your classes. For more information, please feel free to contact any of the librarians here at the Downtown Campus Library (x7267).

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

DC LIbrary Welcomes You Back!

The DC library wants to welcome everyone back for our Spring semester! We hope everyone had a relaxing holiday break.

Just a couple reminders about the library...

• Schedule your class - Now is the time to schedule your classes for library instruction. We will be coming to your class this semester and bringing along the laptop cart. The laptops will allow us to do sessions like we have in the past, with the exception of printing. We only have one laptop cart, so the sessions are first-come-first-served. Call us at x7267 to set up a day and time!

• Course Reserves - If you have any items you need on course reserves for this semester, please bring them in as soon as possible! Also if you need to reserve items for a specific time for your class, please come and make arrangements to have those items put on reserve for you.

• Amethyst Room - Reminder we are in the Amethyst Room, sharing space with the computer commons. While our collection may be limited, we brought our most popular items. Also, remember we can request books from other campus libraries to be sent here. (usually a two day delivery)

If there is anything else we can help you with, or if you have questions, please feel free to stop in or give us a call at x7267.

Have a great semester!!
