Did You Know? You Can Scan for Free in the Library.

If a teacher has provided a class textbook to the library for their students to use, we have it on reserve.  You can use the KIC scanner to scan chapters of a reserve textbook (no more than two per week because of copyright laws), or other documents you need scanned.  Then email them to yourself and use the computer lab to read, print or forward them. The library has what you need to succeed!  Check out the Library of Things to see what else the library makes available to students to help with your studies.  Items can be checked out at the library circulation desk using your COM ID. http://dlvr.it/TV4rwp

Stream the Emmy Nominated The Librarians

The Librarians made its world premiere at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. The documentary has been Emmy nominated for Exceptional Merit In Documentary Filmmaking and explores censorship, book banning and the freedom to read. As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers. The Librarians is a cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom – told through the personal experiences of librarians under siege and the everyday patriots who join their ranks in defense of the books. Want More? Go to the Banned Books guide, see all Book & eBook news or How to Use Academic Videos Online (AVON).  http://dlvr.it/TTtBQM
