As a faculty, staff, or student member of Chattahoochee Technical College, you need to be aware of the services provided by the school to help you succeed. Most of these services are free of charge, including the recently developed Library Guides.
Library Guides is a website dedicated to research assistance, subject guides, and other useful resources. Guides also access GALILEO databases and the college catalogue, which searches both campus print collections and ebooks.
In order to spread the word, the librarians will be attending different campuses throughout the Fall Quarter to instruct interested people in accessing and using the guides. On Monday, October 25th the Library Guide authors will have an Open House between 11:30AM to 1:00PM at the Austell Campus. Can't make it by 1:00PM? The library Open House will run until 6PM with Librarian Janice Levine and assistant Britney O'Mara as your guides. Refreshments will be served all day. Stop by and check it out!
In November, the librarians will be celebrating up in the northern part of the CTC community at the Woodstock and Jasper campuses. Stay tuned for more details and events as information becomes available.

Something new
We are building our collection of electronic books. The joy of the electronic book is first and foremost, accessibility. We don't have the staff budget to be open 24 hours a day. Nor do students really want to drive to a campus to use the resources. The ability to find and use just the right book at any time and not leave home makes research a breeze.
We now subscribe to the Ovid e-book collection with 144 titles. I like being able to search through all the titles with one search. The Quick search box pulls up multiple references. On the right side of the selection I can select Ovid Full Text or Complete Reference. Complete Reference is the citation information. I wonder why they didn't just give the citation?
You can access Ovid from the CTC Library page! Scroll down to Nursing and Allied Health.
I'll explore Ovid's search features in another blog.
