And so the Spring semester begins...

Welcome to a new semester, ladies and gentlemen! As always, the library is eager to help faculty any number of ways:

• If it's library instruction you need for your classes, we have it! We can show your students how to use our OPAC (online public access catalog), our subscription databases, and many other resources on our website.
• If it's more general research skills you're after, we can talk with students about evaluating information, using internet search engines more effectively, proper citation techniques for papers, and anything else you can think of. Call 870.4445, email, or drop by to set up a session.
• Would you like to provide your students with a subject bibliography for a class or assignment? We can do the legwork for you and compile a list of print, database, and online resources available in the library and/or through our website.
• Interested in having a library display based on subject material in your class? Let us know. We currently have one on HIV up for Kathy Wolf.
  

If you haven't seen the library's myspace page, check it out. It's just starting so we don't have too many friends yet, but we're trying to reach out to CMC students through this new medium.

also, if you've never heard of flickr, check it out also. it's an enormous, free, member-supported database of images, some professional and some not so much. even more fun than flickr? retrievr - the "search by sketch" interface that allows you to use flickr in a really cool way.
