Happy fall semester! It's really nice to see so many people on campus and so much activity. Here at the library, we are also very active! There is so much going on. Keep up with library news by subscribing to this newsletter.
First, a quick overview of what the library offers to you:
- Two locations at Main and Chico Center
- Thousands of books and ebooks to support your research (and leisure!)
- Millions of articles contained in 50+ databases, covering every subject from anatomy to zoology
- Textbooks reserved by instructors so you can do homework on campus
- Librarians to help you find the information you need
- Computers and free printing
- Laptops and wi-fi hotspots for loan (limited supplies; we're working on it!)
- Online guides to help you with research, citations, and classes
- Quick video tutorials showing you how to search, use databases, and much more
- Spaces for studying -- both in groups and on your own
And, previews of upcoming events:
- The library now has a pro book scanning device to support our venture into Controlled Digital Lending, which we hope will make reserves more accessible.
- We have plenty of copies of How the Word is Passed, the current Book in Common. Look for more information coming soon!
- In September, watch for a fun dark academia themed display.
- We'll be participating in Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15 - Oct 15.
- Banned Books Week is the first week of October, and it's more relevant and important than ever! The US is experiencing a wave of censorship that is unprecedented in living memory.
- We've got big plans for Queer History Month in October!
