The College Is Mobile

You will also be able to access some of your coursework like: announcements, discussion boards, grades, blog, roster, tasks, media and journals using most mobile devices. Check out the library Blackboard Mobile page. If you have questions or need help check with one of your friendly librarians. We are here to help.

Library Perks

Library Perk
April 11

There is nothing like a hot cup of coffee to get you going. Our new monthly Library Perk event provides students with free coffee from 9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. So stop on by and enjoy a cup of joe with your peers in the library.

Just one of many "perks" the library offers to our students.

Kindle Fires Arrive

As part of our ereader/tablet pilot project the library is pleased to announce we are now offering Kindle Fires for check-out to students [beginning January 17]. The Kindles are available only at Truax Library. Come in and browse the Internet, watch a video or read a book using touch screen technology. We have some reserve titles available on the Kindle.

Let us know what you think by filling out our short survey. Compare it against our iPads and nookcolors. Your use and feedback of the Kindle [and iPads & nookcolors] is important and will help us develop this program further. Enjoy!
