Suggestion Box
Suggestion: It would be great if you could use a driver's license as a library card. I usually forget my Parkland ID as it does nothing and makes me ugly.
Solution: I admit my
wallet is full of seemingly useless cards. However, the Parkland
College ID card serves many useful purposes. It serves as your
Library card and is a requisite for all patrons in order to check out
items from the Library. Your personal ID number is barcoded on the
ID card. This
number is scanned into our system, not typed.
This method is preferable to typing in numbers and is very accurate.
Your ID card also proves to us that you are currently enrolled in classes
on campus. A driver's license is not adequate for these
purposes.
Other uses
of your Parkland ID card:
* pick-up loan or student employment checks
* cash a minimum $10.00 check on campus
* business and financial transactions
* voting in student elections
* admission to athletic events, movies
* planetarium shows, lectures, special
shows and events
* discount rates for field trips and tours
* computer lab use
* fitness center use
* to petition to graduate
* for book vouchers
* sell back books at the end of a semester
Suggestion: I think the library should get more recent documentaries and movies.
Solution: We do
purchase new videotapes and DVDs all the time, primarily in response to
requests from faculty who expect to use the material in their
classes. Use for instruction is our main criterion for anything we
purchase for the collection, but we do want to meet other needs as well,
and we actively seek recommendations from our users.
So what do you think we should get? Do you
know of any titles, whether movies or documentaries, you'd especially like
to see in the Library's collection? You can submit requests at the
Suggestion Board, or via the Suggestion Box on our webpage. (Go to
Online Forms from the main page; or use the following URL and go directly
to the form: http://www.parkland.edu/library/onsugg.htm).
If you're interested in broad topics and don't
know particular titles, please stop in and talk with our Information
Services staff. They can help you locate specific titles for you to
consider.
