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.

Laptops Ready for Your Students...

The library has laptops to checkout!

The library has over 40 Google Chromebooks* and 8 netbooks available for checkout. So, if you have a class activity that requires a computer, send your students down with their student IDs and we will set them up with a computer. They can be checked out for two hours and are for use anywhere on campus. (If you need them for more than two hours, just send me an email with your class information (i.e. MAT173) and time you meet. Let your students know will need to identify themselves as one of your students.

The laptops are also available for work outside the classroom. Students can check one out and use it anywhere on campus - the cafeteria, at the tables outside, sitting on a bench. Great for group work in one of the Learning Commons study rooms!

If you have questions, please feel free to call the library (x7267), email me, or stop by.

*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.

Don't Forget Your Course Reserves...

If you haven't brought your course reserve items* to the library, now is the time to do it! We process items on a first come, first serve basis and to be sure the items are available for your students, we need them as soon as possible. (We do try and get the items processed in 48 hours or less.)

If it is something that you would like available to your students later in the semester, or if you have a late start or 2nd 8-week course, please bring your item(s) in a couple of weeks ahead of time so it can be processed. We are able to put library materials on reserve for short periods of time or for the entire semester.

Course reserves can be any item you would like to be put on reserve in the library for your students. It could be a textbook, supplemental readings, or even a DVD. The item will be available to students during regular library hours, for a two hour period - library use only (unless you note otherwise).

Students will need their Student ID to check the items out.

Of course, if there is anything else the library can help you with - just call us at 206-7267 or stop by!
