I am saddened to report that Linda Pauling, our Interlibrary Loan Clerk for over 40 years, has announced her resignation effective the end of May.  She is one of the Library’s original “pioneers” (as they are called at FLCC) and she will be sorely missed.

Sarah Moon has completed the LibGuides Library Research Tutorial.  While, available to all classes, the tutorial will be of great assistance to online and distance students.  A separate assessment within the ANGEL LMS will provide instructors with the ability to pull the assessment into individual courses. 

This semester the Library began a thin client trial. Eight traditional PC’s have been converted to thin clients. At the end of the semester we will evaluate the successfulness of the systems.

The college launched FLCC Connects (http://flccconnects.com/) as a central hub for all college published social media.

The Academic Commons officially opened this fall semester. Tutoring Services, the Writing Center, Math Center and Disability Services are now located in the Library.

Construction is progressing on the new student union that is due to open during the Summer of 2011.

Our periodical vendor will change on 1/1/11 from EBSCO to WT Cox.

Danyelle Westbrook and Anna Gossin have joined the FLCC Library Adjunct staff.

Charlotte Cooper, reference librarian, co-presented, with FLCC Theatre professor Beth Johnson, a session entitled “Evaluating Media: Improving Information Literacy Skills Will Help Theatre Students” at the Association for Theatre in Higher Education Conference in Los Angeles in August, 2010.

The new FLCC student union project is progressing and is expected to be completed by June 2011. The Library will see its share of renovations as new areas/services are moved in to the library and existing library staff offices are moved around. Developmental studies, tutoring services, the Write Place and the Math Center will be among the new services located in the library.
