Library news: Spring into Summer 2019
Hope everyone had a great semester. Stop by to say hello if you’re in the library. I’m in the back corner by the fire extinguisher. Cathy
FY 2018-2019 ACQUISITIONS
Attached is a list of titles ordered and received from 6/1/18 to present.
NEW ACQUISITIONS FY 18-19 (click to open in Google Docs)
This year I’ve used 3 tabs: print books, ebooks and videos. You can copy and paste the URL into your browser to check the status of a book or video. New Books might be on the new books shelf as you enter the library, in the stacks, checked out, or at the binders. New book titles (in general) can be browsed on the Books Tab of the library’s homepage; you can also browse new films under the FILM tab.
LibGuides (library Course and Subject Guides)
Last summer the IC Library moved from the platform SubjectsPlus to a commercially available platform called LibGuides. I’m still moving over my guides. If you’re missing one for your class, let me know.
Digital Commons @ IC
The Digital Commons is the library’s platform that supports the creative and scholarly output of our campus. With your consent, I’ll add your content to our interface as a summer project. If interested, please send me your C.V. For more information, refer to our Digital Commons @ IC guide. We are also trying to encourage students to add their final cuts, theses, and capstones.
ORDER RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommend a book or video purchase by emailing me. Let me know if I can create a list of titles on a particular subject for you. Remember that our collection development policy stipulates that we do not purchase core texts assigned for classes. Also, some books are available in digital format; let me know if you prefer an e-book format. If you’ve published a book or chapter I would be interested in purchasing it for our collection. Due to the change of our fiscal year, orders will be processed beginning July.
LIBRARY INSTRUCTION / RESEARCH CONSULTATIONS
Thanks for referring students to me for Research Consultations and inviting me to your classes. Email me to visit your class this Summer or Fall. Let me know if you’d like a library research guide designed for your class or event.
