Online library workshop coming up!

The library will be holding an online workshop on Wed., November 11 at 7:00 PM. We frequently offer drop-in orientations inside the library, but this one will be available to students at home or anywhere else they’ve got internet access. Students will learn how to find full-text articles in the library’s subscription databases; professors offering extra credit will be notified by e-mail that their student successfully completed the workshop. (For those of you familiar with the usual drop-in workshops, this one is equivalent to the “B” orientation.)

If you’re curious about the technology, we’ll be using the Elluminate web conferencing platform, which is provided to all California community colleges via CCC Confer.

We’ve got more information about this event on the library website. This is a late addition to our schedule, so please spread the word! http://scc.losrios.edu/~library/onlineworkshop

Meet Your Librarian ~ Discover Resources Your Students Can Use

Your SCC librarians would like to share updates about library services at your next department meeting.  We have news about instructional sessions, books and media, article databases, library flex credit, and more.  Your students can put library resources right to work; you’ll see the results in their next assignments.  Our visits will fit your schedule, and we’ll keep it short – 5 to 10 minutes max.  Contact Mary Ann Robinson to schedule a visit.  And thanks!
