Welcome back, everyone! It's been too long since a post to DUN Ref. The summer was very productive with our inventory project.We'll be finished with most of the circulating book collection before classes start; work will continue on non-print and reference. I'll bet we finish completely by the end of September. Thanks to all who helped and are helping with it.
As students return, they will have many questions about enrollment and registration. The best rule of thumb is to direct them to the appropriate office. The ASK ME team has prepared two documents of FAQs and helpful phone numbers. You'll find copies of each on both sides of the desk. Please make sure the documents stay at the desk for the first couple of weeks of classes. Please also wear an ASK ME button while you're on shift. Thank you!
Yesterday the library welcomed about 30 new Dental Hygiene students. What a great group they are. The program has really rigorous entrance requirements, so these are very capable and motivated students. Many use the library for research, and especially to study together, work on group projects, and generally help each other through the program. If you want to be most helpful to these students, use your slow time to become comfortable with CINAHL and ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health databases. Practice some searches that you think would be of interest to them. Know also that we have several scholarly journals for that discipline in print for them (and you) to browse. Finally, there is a LibGuide designed especially for them at guides.gpc.edu/dentalhygiene.
You've received an email from Tamika about a Saturday brunch/meeting on the 29th. Hope to see you all there.
