It's been awhile since I posted anything and part of that has to do with the intense schedule the library has been experiencing, coupled with learning various new software of both the major and minor variety (more about that later) and, oh yes, a vacation.
First things first--the librarians, Paula, Paula and Sherril have conducted nearly 40 information literacy sessions in just the month of September. Whew! Program areas that we have been collaborating with include: WES 100, Nursing, Philosophy, Business Administration, Psychology, History, and Religion and Forum. We have done a variety of presentations from tours to powerpoints to specifically targeted resources and stand-alone guides. If you have any assignments on the near horizon that we could assist your students with, please let us know!
Secondly, we have been "playing" with and learning our new databases from the Proquest family in the areas of Psychology, Nursing, and Religion. I recently gave four InfoLit sessions that demonstrated these databases and how to use them to our students. I'm happy to report that they have been well received and constituted over 20% of our total database use for the month of September. Not a bad first showing for our newbies!
Finally, some of you may be hearing inklings about new library software. Some of you may have already gotten a first hand look at this software. We're very excited about our new LibGuide software. Two guides have already been written and I invite you to take a look at them. You can find them here. Can't miss them--they're marked by the big purple boxes. Several more are forthcoming as is more information in a later blog.
Enjoy your fall break!
