Library will be Closed on Nov. 12

The Century College Library will be closed on Monday, November 12, in honor of Veterans Day.

Veterans Day 2012

Veterans Day is November 11.  The theme for 2012 is “Honoring All Who Served.” Veterans Day honors all American veterans, both living and dead but is largely intended to honor and thank living veterans who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime.

The library display case for November is highlighting books from the library collection that feature veteran’s issues. Some of the featured topics include: returning Veterans, women in the military, military careers, and personal stories of veterans from World War II, Vietnam, and Iraq.

This Veterans Day, please take the time to thank those friends and neighbors that have served our country.

Busy Bees Trick-or-Treat at the Library

The Busy Bees stopped by the library today to collect some Halloween candy.

Our skeleton helped hand out candy at the circulation desk. (He needs to put on a little weight. Maybe the candy will help...)

Halloween

Stop by the library for a treat and while you are here, check out a book or DVD.  We have lots of spooky titles like A History of Horror by Wheeler Winston Dixon.  You never know what subjects lurk in the library!

Presidential Display Case

The library display case is featuring political books this month with an emphasis on presidential elections.  A great selection of books is available about the candidates, campaigns, the election process,  and politics in the United States.  Come to the library for your political information before you make your choice!  Voter registration forms are also available.

Library Open Oct. 18, 19; Closed Oct. 20

The Century College Library will be open on October 18 and 19 from 7:30 am to 4 pm.  We will be closed on Saturday, October 20.

Submit a YouTube Video for the Virtual Read-Out

The Century College Library will be celebrating the freedom to read during Banned Books Week, September 30 – October 6,  by sponsoring a Virtual Read-Out via YouTube.  

•  Create a video no more than 3 minutes long of a reading from a banned book. 
• The video should include information on where and why the book was banned, and you can also comment on why the book is important.   
• Post the video to YouTube and send the URL of the video by October 2 to randi.madisen@century.edu.   

We will create a playlist of videos for Banned Books Week at Century.  To get you started, here is a list of banned literary classics and lists of frequently challenged books.
For an example, here's Whoopi Goldberg reading Shel Silverstein. 

Bannned Books: Why Can't I Read That?

September 30 is the beginning of Banned Books Week: time to review the many titles that have been banned, objected to, or criticized because the content was offensive (to someone or some group).  Here are some examples from the Huffington Post: "Anne Frank's diary has been banned on multiple occasions. The most recent was in January 2010 when the book was pulled from a Virginia school for "sexually explicit" and "homosexual" themes." Interested in other "objectionable" titles?  Check out the display in the library and take home a banned book to see for yourself what all the fuss is about!

New Look for Our Subject Guides

Having trouble figuring out which of our many online resources would be best for you? Check out the list of Subject Guides on the library's main page.  Each subject guide provides access to resources for a particular topic.  All of our Subject Guides are in a new tabbed format that lets you easily find books, articles, ebooks, multimedia, recommended websites, and even get help with writing and citing.

New Online Resources

With the new fiscal year, we have implemented several changes to library online resources. We have added more users to our license for Netter Reference and have added Naxos Music Library.

Netter Reference:  The student tech fee now pays for a 500 user license for this Netter Anatomy resource.  This should allow all our students in Rad Tech, EMS, Nursing, Dental, Biology, O&P, and any other interested department to have access.  Access it through the Articles, Databases and More tab on the library home page.  Just click on the Databases A-Z list.

Naxos Music Library: To supplement our Music Online streaming, we have added Naxos, the world´s largest online classical music library which offers multiple streamed versions of most works. We have only a 5 user license, so please urge your students to logout when finished. Access it through the Articles, Databases and More tab on the library home page. Just click on the Databases A-Z list.

Due to low usage, we have discontinued our access to Art Index Retrospective, which indexed articles on the arts from 1929-1984 without full text. However, we still have Art Full Text, with full text from 1997 to present and indexing from 1984 to 1996 of an international array of peer-selected publications on all aspects of the arts, including advertising, archaeology, architecture, art history, computers in art, decorative arts, fashion design, graphic arts, industrial design, interior design, landscape architecture, motion pictures, museology, non-western art, painting, photography, pottery, sculpture, television, textiles, and video.

Library Closed July 4

Library Closed Thursday, April 5

Adventures of Sheldon

The Library recently added a copy of The Adventures of Sheldon, a newly published children's picture book.  Author Brianna Harelson first created the Sheldon character as a clay animation for a video project in the Visual Communications Technology program at Century. Sheldon was such a hit as a claymation character, that when Harelson and fellow Alum Michael Berglund needed another project idea, they decided to use the colorful indigo blue Sheldon to develop their own children's storybook and audio track. Harelson wrote the story while Berglund sketched and designed all the illustrations. For more information about The Adventures of Sheldon go to http://www.agamamedia.com or view this Life to the Max video of the author reading Sheldon aloud at BusyBees Child Care.

Downloadable Audiobooks

Listen to a book while you enjoy the spring weather!  The Library has purchased new downloadable audiobooks through Audiobooks from EBSCO.   We have a variety of classics, science fiction, and popular titles.  You can use the free Download Manager program to download these to your computer or iPod or MP3 player. EBSCO provides complete directions on how to do this.

You can find Audiobooks from EBSCO from the library home page by going to the middle tab, Articles, Databases & More, and choosing our Databases A-Z list.  The titles are also listed in our catalog.

Spring Break Library Hours

Catch up with your classes during spring break by using the library!   The library will be open March 12-16 from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm.  We will be closed on Saturday, March 17.

Beware the Ides of March!

In association with the “Ides of March”, the library display case is highlighting books on murder, mystery, power, and betrayal! Check out the selections from your favorite mystery writers featuring Tom Clancy, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell and more.

Historically the Ides of March fall on March 15 which marks the assassination of Julius Caesar after a soothsayer's warning. In modern times, the Ides of March has taken on sinister implications of menace and doom because the date has been imbued with a sense of foreboding.

Cozy up with a good mystery for the chilly month of March!
