Northstar Digital Literacy
The Library has subscribed to a new database called Northstar Digital
Literacy, which offers instruction and practice in areas such as keyboard basics and logging in, basic computer skills, internet basics, and more. It takes about 30 minutes for someone who is fairly competent with computers to complete a module. Many are also available in Spanish.
LCC Library + Summit
In the Library's catalog, Summit items are items that you can request from other libraries. They are usually delivered within 3 to 7 days and held for you at the Library. If you want Summit items to be included in your list of search results, be sure that the catalog is set to search "LCC Library + Summit."
New EBSCO Interface
Our largest database collection, EBSCO, has changed its interface. The new interface is cleaner and easier to use, but might be confusing initially. We have created a 10 minute video to help you grapple with the changes:
The New EBSCO Interface
This video is for LCC faculty who would like to learn more about EBSCOhost's new interface. As always, you can ask a librarian for help with EBSCO or any of our other tools.
Library Awarded Diversity Grant
Last year the Lane Community College Library was the recipient of a $2000 grant from the United Way and the Early Literacy Hub. The funds were used to purchase almost 150 cultural diversity-focused children’s picture books for the Library’s collection. You can find a list of them by searching for “United Way Diversity Grant” in the Library’s catalog. The books will be on display through the end of November.
No Study Jam this Term
Due to lack of staffing, the Library is unable to offer a Study Jam this term. Our apologies!
