A thousand words

We're becoming a pictographic society- a picture being worth a thousand words (Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 17th edition, pg 851-4, notes the quote is a misattributed Chinese proverb).

To accomodate those who would rather watch the movie rather than read the book (and yes, sometimes I'd rather watch the movie- it can be quicker to get the storyline through a movie- though not all movies follow the printed versions storyline....) we have purchased a TV/DVD combo for patron use. We already had three TV/VCR combos in the library.

The videos/DVD's owned by North Metro are noted in the NMTC card catalog at http://libcat.northmetrotech.edu/scripts/websafari.exe.

Most of our videos are checked out to the program areas but Faculty have been known to loan videos to a student for review purposes.
