Well, this is it.

You made it.

Their information literacy.

And now module one was pretty heavy.

Lots of information begin thrown at you.

Use your workbook.

Keep your workbook because you're gonna need it.

For every class.

There's gonna be a point where this class goes away

on canvas and you're gonna be like, Oh, I don't

remember what she said about the database and who blow

when it provides for me.

So keep up with your workbook.

Two year are finished with your academic career, The information

and there will help you on every single academic assignment

that you get.

That's not multiple choice.

Okay, Lets I just wanna in this by showing you

a few fun things about the library in case we

haven't touched on those.

And then we'll be done.

You have a short a post test, and a survey

has like you to fill out one thing.

I'm at Canelo.

We always want Teoh tailor our classes to the student

and the student needs.

So when you fill out that survey next semester, when

I create the information literacy class, I will make adjustments

based on what you answered and information is not condemnation

information is what I need to do to make it

better. So when you fill out this survey, you know,

be helpful.

Okay, So in the library, I know that everything most

everything we talked about is academic, you know, go here

for primary resource is what are your, um, types of

information that you need.

So I want to talk a little bit about our

fiction collection.

We do house quite a big, um, print fiction collection.

So at the end of the day, when you're taking

in all the information, you can take in and it's

time to do something just for you.

Head on over to the library and check out some

of our popular reading materials.

If you don't want to come in and check him

out. Imprint.

We have them in many formats.

We have audio books available online.

We have streaming service is for books and audiobooks and

e readers.

And you can find those just from wherever you are

in the world through Panola College.

Got eighty years slash library.

So do something for you.

Read something that you like.

Just because I don't spend all your time um, digging

an information for your professors do something for you again.

I want to show you another collection.

We have sometimes were looking for recipes or what we

can make in a short time because you've worked all

day or you going to class all day.

And you know, now it's dinner time and you don't

know what to cook or self help relationships.

We have a section on that we have a section

on fitness and how to keep yourself well and how

to take care of you.

So check that out.

We also have nonfiction.

No, of course you're nonfiction.

You can use in your research as your sources if

your professor requires a print resource and some do, but

also some people just enjoy reading about famous people or

places are times in history.

And, you know, our local historian, Bill O Neill, is

we have his books and he's a Carthage native and

a great writer in a great teacher.

So I enjoy his collection.

Next, um, we have reference books.

Now I'm going to say that the most current reference

information you will probably get will be through the Elektronik

resource is, But we do have a reference section on

the second floor of the library, and you are welcome

to come and look through it and get some information

that you need.

Now, I do want to put this disclaimer on the

textbooks. We Onley house a textbook.

If a professor has requested we keep one on reserve.

And that way, if you need the textbook and you

don't have it or you forgot it at home, you

can come by but on Lee at the professor's request

for their textbooks to be put on reserve, everything else

we have multiple copies of and again probably find more

current and relevant reference information through our electronic resource is

okay, module one you learned about those electronic resource is

until you probably I dreamed about them, but we wanted

to be thorough.

We wanted you to know where to go for information.

That is a life skill.

I always suggest starting out with Creed Out an EPS

co host because they are the data basis that reach

into all the other places and all the other databases

and pull the information that's most relevant to you.

So make sure that if you are going Teoh, start

somewhere and it's overwhelming credo.

Our EPS co host or great places to start hoopla,

you're gonna love hoopla.

Hoopla allows you to stream music, movies, television shows, audio

books, e books, all afraid to.

You know, we pay for you to access that, and

there's current shows.

I mean, if you don't currently have a streaming service

or you pay for streaming, you might want to check

out hoopla because as long as you're Panola College student,

it's free and we can save you some money.

Okay, lets go on Teoh DVDs.

If you still love that DVD and you still has

a DVD player, we do have a collection of DVDs

that is available for anybody to check out not just

community members or faculty, but also for the student body

there available to everyone.

Okay, I find that most of our students use our

library just as a space, a space to get away

from things and being a quiet place, either alone or

with a small group, especially during finals times or deadline

times, or coming up and you just need a space.

We have tables along the windows on the second floor.

They've got each one has a layup.

They have a beautiful view.

We have study rooms that have a white board in

them. We have an academic collaboration room in which you

can hook your device up to the television if you

need to present a power point or you need to

zoom, we have a computer lab.

You're able to print your able to scan documents you're

able to type your papers or your reports, all right

here in the library and then downstairs we have these

little study carols, and they're like one person carols and

you kind of feel like you're cocooned Ian by yourself.

They have charge ports for your devices.

That's the other thing.

If you find yourself on campus and your phone or

your devices dying, we have chargers available for you to

use. So come by and just took out our spices

and say what we offer.

Um, sometimes I don't work well at home.

If I'm doing something academic, then I have to get

away and get into a quiet spot.

And then, if you haven't checked out the Alison Art

Gallery, make sure you do that.

We, um how several traveling exhibits and lots of local

authors um, an artist.

It's free to you.

You come by, you sunny in and you can just

browse our art gallery and has some really cool stuff.

Right now we have the Asian exhibit, and I think

it's going away pretty soon of you.

If you haven't checked that out, do that.

The library host events.

Sometimes sometimes we have art contests or we have things

to build or puzzles to complete.

We have a full time three D printer.

If that's something you're interested in, it's free for you

to use and come by and be able to create

and imagine in your down time and then last but

not least, who are we?

Let's talk a little bit about who we are and

why we're here for you.

We have Christy Ferguson, who is our director and are

later and she's amazing.

She is knowledgeable of all things resource wise.

She knows the professor's.

She knows what they want from you.

She knows how to support you and also support the

teachers in the faculty.

Um, she's been here a long time, and her wisdom

man, she blows me away with what she truly knows,

and then I'm Veronica Wilkerson, that instructor for this course.

But I'm also, um, the instructional library.

So if you need help, um, finding resource is or

understanding what a p a or M l a main

or, you know, just getting those expectations right and doing

your very best on the person.

They will talk to you for that.

I also work without dual credit students at the high

schools and their teachers or the students are able to

contact me any time.

And I'll talk about ways to contact us, like in

just a minute.

And, you know, really, just ask any question.

I'm here to help you do well on your instructional

assignments. Holly Derrick is a rock star at our electronic

resource is she is the one that implements the portals.

She creates the accounts.

She can help you if you can't log in.

She knows which Elektronik resource is to steer you to.

Based on the type of assignment you have, she is

a master teacher.

She can teach you about any database or any Elektronik

resource that we have.

So contact her.

If you're struggling to understand how the databases or the

electron ICS resource is work over if you're a cancer

working. We're very blessed this year.

Toe have, Miss Alma.

Robin L Miss Alma is a library and that we

inherited from UT Tyler.

She brings a vast knowledge of the library and how

the library works.

And she has a lot of really, um she has

a lot of, uh, experience.

Sorry. Us working with college students.

And so she kind of knows and can anticipate what

service is you're gonna need when you come in.

Kate is new this year, and she is the clerk

that you'll see in the evening.

Stone stairs.

Mostly. A fun fact about Kate is she worked at

the New London Museum.

And if you have not looked at the new London

explosion, that's something you want to look at.

She can tell you all about it.

She joins.

And she is amazing.

A shaken troubleshoot.

Any printing issue device?

WiFi. She has been here through a lot of changes

in the library.

She knows how this library runs.

She has the answers, and she's invaluable.

I don't know what we would do without her.

And last but not least, the face of the library

when you first come in is miss share in hell.

Miss Sharon is the one that will check out your

books. She's the one that you'll great when you first

come in, and she's the first person that you will

see to ask your questions.

So say, had him a share and when you stop

him, well, guys, it's been fun and you're done all

you have.

It's a short post quiz.

And remember, we're not giving.

Grades were given completions in this course and a short

survey so that I can do my job.

Better help me do my job better.

I look forward to seeing you in the library.

Of course, you'll see us all like this for a

while, but that's okay.

You know, one day we'll all get to see each

other's faces, so come see us.
