NEWS FROM THE STACKS

Beginning August 2010, there have been significant changes made to the interlibrary loan policy and procedures that affect how items are borrowed from other lending institutions.  The change made are listed below:

  • Standardized Loan Dates: All borrowers in the I-Share system will be given a standard 28 day loan period.  This does not affect JJC patrons borrowing JJC materials. This is only for JJC Patrons borrowing materials from other institutions.
  • User accounts: New user accounts that are accessed using username and passwords.
  • Item Requests: New feature that allows user to chose which institution to materials from.

You must create an account in I-Share to request Interlibrary Loan items.

For more information regarding these changes, as well as tutorials to help guide you through the new processes, please see the link on the Library homepage.

ALL THE WORLD’S A DISPLAY.

Hi JJC community!

It’s been a while since we last talked, things here at the library have been busy busy busy!   Along with our daily work of helping students find information for their academic endeavours, checking out/in materials, and trying to keep copies of the works of Stephanie Meyers (the author of “Twilight”) on the shelf for our voracious patrons, we have been putting together displays to exhibit the wide and diverse interests here at JJC.

The displays that you see throughout the library are a way for us to bring attention to important, or popular topics in our lives — in and out of the college world.   It is our hope, that when you come to visit the library, you will take some time and peruse the displays, pick out something that interests you and tell your friends all about it.  Remember, this library is not just for your academic papers, it is also a place to satisfy your other interests — we have a large collection of popular fiction, music and film available for check-out.

Here’s some of the displays for this semester:
