Introduction to the Glendale College Library For New Students Welcome the class, introduce yourself, then the workshop: to introduce new students to what the library has to offer! Please let students know that they can interrupt at any time during the workshop if they have a question (I usually go further by saying: if you have a question, at least one other student in class has the same question – so you are helping out by asking your question)

Library Facilities & Resources Study carrels Group study rooms Computers, laptops, printers Photocopiers Typewriters Microform reader Tutorials & Guides Library Workshops Library 191 class Reference Help provided by a librarian! This is what the library has to offer students. Go through each bullet point: We have study carrels where you can study Group study rooms are available for up to 3 hours at a time if you are studying as a group (no advance reservation required). There are 10 rooms on the main floor (for smaller groups 2-4) and 2 bigger study rooms on the upper level (for larger groups 5-8) We have computers with internet access and printers (email and word processing is limited to the computers on the upper level) Photocopiers are available in the room across from the Circulation desk Typewriters are available in the room next to the Copiers Microform reader (mention we have it in the typing room, but don’t bother going into detail on what it is – unless someone asks) Tutorials & Guides - across from the Reference Desk, we have some print handouts, but these are also available online and I’ll show you where to find them on our homepage toward the end of this workshop We offer a series of nine library workshops that teach you research skills. Each workshop is 1 hour long, and I’ll show you how where to find more information and where to sign up for workshops later on today We also offer a 2 unit credit course that is transferrable to CSU and UC. I’ll show you where to find more information on this as well Most importantly, we have a librarian available at the reference desk whose primary job is to help you.

Information Resources PRINT/PHYSICAL Books Reference books Articles Journals Magazines Newspapers CDs Audio cassettes ---- ELECTRONIC E-books E-Ref books Article databases Journals Magazines Newspapers ---- World Wide Web Information Resources available to students, presented here in print vs. electronic form. Print means that you can physically touch these items; Electronic means that it is only accessible from a computer. Note that for books, reference books and articles, we have both in print and electronic; we don’t have electronic access to CDs and cassettes, and that WWW is not available in print (which means that web sites don’t go through the same publication review process as print resources do, so you have to be more critical about which websites are good for academic purposes)

Library Hours FALL/SPRING: Mon-Thu 8am-9pm; Fri 10am-2pm; Sat 10am-2pm Closed Sun and school holidays WINTER/SUMMER: Mon-Thu 8am-8pm; Closed Fri-Sun and school holidays Remote access 24/7 from anywhere with internet connection (username and password required) Library hours, but access to electronic resources that I will show you here is available remotely from anywhere with internet connection. You will be asked to log in using your student ID as your username and 6 digit birthday as your password.

Other Options Reciprocal borrowing privileges at Cal-State Los Angeles (CSULA) and Pasadena City College (PCC) Glendale/Pasadena, Burbank and Los Angeles public libraries Interlibrary loan Mention other (FREE) options students have if GCC doesn’t have what they need: Current GCC students can borrow books from Cal-State LA and Pasadena City College. Make sure to take your GCC Student ID card and current printout of your schedule with you so that their library can issue you a library card. Public libraries are also available for FREE. I will show you where you can access public library catalogs from our homepage. Interlibrary loan is a free service provided by GCC (we don’t charge, but some lending libraries have charges). We borrow books from libraries worldwide – allow one to three weeks shipping time – so get a head start on your project so that you can use this service! Show the link to the interlibrary loan on the library homepage.

GCC Borrowing Privileges for print materials Circulating Books 2 weeks, renewable 3 times Reference Books (main floor) Library Use Only Reserve Books [Textbooks] 2-Hour Library Use only Overnight, 3-day, One-week Circulation policies. You might want to mention that there is no fee for borrowing, but that there’s a $0.20 per day fine for late books (which can be avoided by renewing books by the due date). You can renew books at the Circulation Desk, by phone, or online in the online catalog. Pages from Reference books can be photocopied for $0.10 per page. Reserve books have a late fee of $1.00 per hour for the 2-hour Library use only and $2.00 per day for overnight, 3-day, and one-week reserves.

GCC Borrowing Privileges for electronic materials (Full-text) Access to articles from journals, magazines, newspapers, and ebooks Printing in the library (cost $0.10/page) Email articles or book chapters to yourself Download (check-out) ebrary ebooks for 7 days GCC Library’s electronic resources include full-text access to articles in periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers) as well as encyclopedias, electronic books and government resources. Full-text means that the whole article is available electronically. Articles may be printed in the library for a $0.10 per page; or you can email the article to yourself and print it from home or anywhere else you have access to a printer. We now have downloadable ebooks in ebrary College Complete – check-out period is 7 days for the entire book. Select ebook chapters (within what’s permissible per copyright law) may be saved/emailed without expiration (much like periodical articles).

Thank You! Please remember that Reference Librarians are here to help you! Go to the Reference Desk for assistance, and a librarian will help you find what you need. This workshop covers a lot of new information, and we covered it very quickly. I encourage you to take all the other library workshops or sign up for the Library 191 credit class to help you become a more confident researcher. Please remember that there is a reference librarian on duty anytime the library is open. At the reference desk, we can spend one-on-one time with you to help you with your research needs.
