It's been almost
a full quarter since Cannell Library "went live" on Summit,
the online catalog Cannell Library shares with 31 member colleges
and universities
in Washington
and Oregon. Through
Summit, Clark College students, faculty and staff have access to
more than 26 million books, DVDs, videotapes, sound recordings, government
documents
and
more.
With a single
search users can view items from all 31 institutions, and eligible
patrons may select and borrow materials directly through
the Summit catalog. All patrons, including staff and faculty,
need to know their 9-digit ID number (available from payroll department)
in order
to
place
holds. Materials are available in 2-3
days, thanks to a courier service. If you haven't looked
at Summit,
give
it a try!
We
think you'll be pleased. More details
about Summit.
Many thanks to
the faculty and staff in the Circulation and Technical Services departments,
who worked so hard to make a smooth transition to Summit.

| LIBR
105: Research in the Information Age |
Here's
a news flash:
There's
more to research than Google!
Ahhh...
We know that you already know that! But a lot of your students
don't know it (or don't believe it!)
 Help us spread the word about our new course:
LIBR
105:
Research in the Information Age
This 1-credit course meets on Thursdays
from 1:10-3:00 during weeks 3-7 (April
14, April 21, April 28, May
5, May 12). Item#: 7681
The
course is for students who need to improve their research skills.
It's
ideal for returning students,
transfers or students who will be required to write research papers
for
other classes. The course will merge "traditional" with
high-tech, from books to blogs.
Here are
a couple of eye-popping flyers for you to print out and post:

| You
Know It's Week 10 When... |
 True
Story. Reference Librarian Betty Stout was at the Reference Desk when
a panicked young
man raced in to the library.
"I
need a book, an article and a website for my assignment.
It's due today!" he hurriedly explained.
"OK,
what have you done so far?" Betty asked.
"Nothing."
"All
right.
What's your topic?"
"Procrastination."

Scenes
from the Classroom
|
|
Students from Kathleen
Perillo's Biology 101 (Environmental Biology) class collaborate
on their group research project during a library instruction session.
The new white boards
installed
in the classroom provide
opportunity and space for students to brainstorm, work solutions,
and share their ideas with others in the class.
Kathleen and the Cannell instruction librarians
have also collaborated in creating a library
instruction session that provides student-centered learning activities
relevant to the course
content
while also introducing students
to research skills.
