Louise Lewis Library

Many people are shocked to discover that there are two Shelton State campuses.... and that they both house libraries. The Fredd campus is located on Martin Luther King Blvd. The Fredd campus hold the Louise Lewis Library. The library is located in the main building. The library was named in honor of Mrs. Lewis in 2006.

Established in 1994 as a branch library, the Lewis Library was formally named in honor of Mrs. Louise Boyd Lewis during the fortieth anniversary celebration and dedication of the newly renovated administration building on the Fredd campus on May 4, 2006. Mrs. Lewis served in many capacities at C.A. Fredd State Technical College from 1971 through 2000, including Title III Director of the C.A. Fredd Campus from 1987 through 2000. In 1997, she was also named Assistant Director of the C.A. Fredd Campus. (Excerpt from Lewis Library fact sheet by DR. Debbie Grimes)

The Lewis library houses over 2,000 books. Because of the technical programs housed on the Fredd campus, a lot of the books are aimed at those degree programs. You'll finds books on culinary arts, automotive technology, and graphic arts. This is not to say we don't have other books of various interests.

Del.icio.us or Delicious!

We all have favorite sites that we use on a regular basis when it comes to using the internet. More than likely we have several sites that are bookmarked as favorites. What happens when you're away from your computer and can't remember the website? Del.icio.us can help! No, del.icio.us is not a lady of the evening. Del.icio.us is a social boookmarking tool. It allows you to access your bookmarks from any computer. You can bookmark things for yourself and friends. You can also see what other people have bookmarked.

In the past this bookmarking tool has been written as del.icio.us, however, this September it was supposedly changed to "delicious". Upon researching this topic, I still found it under del.icio.us. Go to this website and read all about it:http://del.icio.us/
