Ramblings

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things ..."
-- Lewis Carroll

~*~ Have you tried to find HealthInfo on FirstSearch lately? Due to budget constraints, the Illinois State Library is no longer offering access to that database which provided health and wellness information. (Medline and CINAHL are still available through FirstSearch.)
Never fear, however. There are alternatives. We recommend you use EBSCOhost's Health Source: Nursing / Academic Edition or Health Source: Consumer Edition.
If you're unsure which database(s) would be best for your research, give us a call, drop in, or email us at pro@parkland.edu

And the winner is .....
..... Claire Drone-Silvers' entry was selected at random from the 7 correct submissions in the "Guess the Theme of These Books" display this summer. She correctly identified OVERSIZE books as the theme and was awarded a gift certificate to a local bookstore. Thanks to all who took part in the contest.

~*~ September is "Library Card Sign-Up Month," and now is a good time to remind everyone that your Parkland ID is your library card. Our student assistants must use your ID to check out Library materials. Parkland IDs are issued by Student Life in X161A.

Looking for a class that's

new
different
only one hour a week
and will help you get through your other courses?

Still puzzled about how to use all those research databases listed on the Library's homepage?

Try LAS 111 "Information Literacy." Taught by Raeann Dossett, Instruction and Outreach Librarian, LAS 111 is a one credit-hour course with no required textbook. Keep this course in mind when registering for the spring semester.
