Mango Languages

The Student Tech Fee is funding access to Mango Languages, a learning tool for learning a different language. Mango has many languages, including popular ones like Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, German, Mandarin Chinese, Greek, Italian, Russian, Arabic, and more. It also has English for speakers of many foreign languages and is fairly user-friendly. Try it now!

You can access Mango through the library web site from our Databases A-Z list and the Databases by Subject page. The Century community can use it off campus, but you will need to use the barcode from the back of your ID as your login and your last name as your password. Users will also probably want to sign up for a free account that can track their progress.

If you plan to travel or just want to increase your skills, sign up for a free account and start today.

More E-books

The Century Library is incorporating the collection of the recently closed Fire/EMS/Safety Library. This collection included over 5,000 Netlibrary ebooks transferred directly into Century's library catalog. Century's Netlibrary ebook collection now numbers over 11,000 items.

To find ebooks in Century's catalog, go to the Library web page, http://www.century.edu/library/, use the search box under the Books & More tab to search for your topic. On the left side, under Collection, click on Internet Resource to limit to ebooks or online resources.

To see a list of all Netlibrary books in Century's collection, search the catalog for the word "Netlibrary". The link to the etext will either be in the list of titles, or available after you click on the title of a specific book. You can view the book online, but many Netlibrary ebooks are in PDF format and can be downloaded to an ereader device.
