HCTC Libraries Fall Newsletter
New and Noteworthy Resources and Support
Greetings from HCTC Libraries! Fall is off to a great start, and we’re eager to support the work of our learning community during this academic year with quality academic resources, friendly support, and facilities where you can rely on the space and assistance you need to complete your project!
Since last year, we’ve “upped our game” with some new tools that we know you will love. Our LibGuides (those convenient little online library resource guides available here) continue to grow and expand, we have upgraded the chat functionality on our webpage, and we have officially opened the new Media & Information Commons at the Leslie County Center. We’re incredibly excited about this year!
If you haven’t been connecting with HCTC librarians online, well, you’re missing out. Our librarians offer quality academic support in a variety of areas—whether that means citations, bibliographies, locating books, DVD’s, or magazines, accessing our online eBooks (did you know you can download those to your e-readers, tablets, and smartphones? Click here to find out how), downloading research or news articles from our databases, or just looking over your project with you to make sure you’re on the right track! You can email us, call us, or chat with us online from the HCTC Libraries webpage.
We’re also visiting your classrooms, teaching you how to use academic and professional resources easily and effectively. You can contact us to schedule a class-visit or individual consultation, or simply stop by Stephens Library, Lees College Campus Library, or any Extended Campus Library Services location.
Featured Resource: Career Assessment
Many students come to HCTC with a major and even a career already in mind, but many are also undecided, and that’s okay! It takes time and patience to discover your career path. HCTC Libraries offers an online Career Assessment that helps you determine your strongest aptitudes based on a simple set of questions. No score can tell you what career you want, but it might tell you what majors or programs you might consider based on your interests! You can access our Testing & Education Reference Center by clicking here. You’ll find the Career Assessment under Career Tools. Give it a try today!
New Location: HCTC Libraries’ Media & Information Commons
The opening of the Media & Information Commons (alternatively dubbed “the MIC” or “the Commons”) represents the extension of library resources and support for a small campus learning community. We’ve selected resources to support those programs, provided computers with internet access, and created a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere for students to study and get the help they need. Our equipment list includes iPods, a digital video camera, portable turntable, stereo, headphones, and more. Students at HCTC’s Kentucky School of Bluegrass & Traditional Music will especially appreciate our collection of music and music-related items available for check-out. Stop by and say hello!
Your Needs, Your Libraries
Is there a resource you think we should offer? Is there a service you think we should provide? Would you like to schedule a class visit with an HCTC librarian? Are you having trouble using any of our tools? Seriously, please contact us. The only thing worse than feeling stumped is giving up because you’re afraid to ask for help.
