Early summer report / New books

It's been a while since my last post. We've been busy with final exams and papers, then we were closed for a week to get the inventory done. I'm glad to say that we have had very few materials "disappear" from the shelves in the last two years, though it looks like we need to do some weeding of out-of-date books.

Summer Session I has just begun and Jennifer is already visiting classes to help students navigate the information world. Remember, both current students and instructors can access all of our databases on and off campus. If you need any help gaining access just let us know at library@cloud.edu or 800-729-5101 ext. 224.

The list of new books is short this month, but nonetheless quality! Here's what we put on the "New Books" shelf in May:
