Some students have come to campus on Fridays and gotten a surprise. The campus was either closing or had closed. The official Friday hours for both campuses is 8 a.m. -12 p.m. This isn't just the library but ALL offices on campus. To make up for this change there are longer hours during the week. Official office hours Monday-Thursday are 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m.
Please make note of the changes and plan accordingly. If you have a paper to type or test to take please come in by 11:00. Also, it would be wise to start saving your documents around 11:45. This way you can ensure you don't lose your work while making a mad scramble to be out by 12.

Things You Should Know
The library hours on both campuses are changing. The Brooks-Cork Library (Martin campus) will be open from 7:30 a.m.- 10p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Friday hours are 8 a.m.- 12 noon. The Lewis library (Fredd campus) is open 7:30 a.m.- 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m.-12 noon on Friday.
We understand that your instructors place thing on Blackboard or Powerpoint for you to print.Please refrain from printing large documents in the library. We have to make all our paper ans ink cartridges last until October. If they don't last that long there may be a possibility that we will not be able to furnish paper to you. It really helps when printing Powerpoint slides if you print them six to a page in grey scale. If you help us we can serve you much better.
Also, take advantages of the workshops being held on Fredd's campus this summer. These workshops include use of the AVL (Alabama Virtual Library) card, how to use search engines, and various other computer training classes. If you would like more info please call Ms. Freida Dale at 391-2618.

Changes at Brooks-Cork Library
If you haven't been to the library in awhile, we have made a few changes. Mr. Don Bell, night librarian, had made changes beneficial to students. Now, we have an art gallery and a new comfortable sitting are.The are features the artwork of Larry "Poncho" Brown this month. He's a comtemporary African aAmerican artist. There are also pamphlets avialable in the sitting are to give you more information on him.
Another change is the way in which study tables are arranged. No longer set up banquet style it has allowed for more table groupings. The way tables are grouped now, there are outlets in which to plug up your electronices devices. This is great for those of you bringing in your laptops. It also features a display with National Geographic magazines which is in keeping with our "Bringing You the World" theme. Check out the airplane that's haning from the ceiling also!
If you see Mr. Bell, please thank him for his efforts and hard work. He came in on his off days to make the library more user friendly. We hope you'll be pleased withthe changes.

Computer Use
We're at the point where students and teachers have really started to settle into the semester. That usually means that papers are due and you need to use a computer. A lot of times ALL the computers in the library are in use. There are other places on campus that have computers for student use. These places include the learning center, student center and open classrooms in the OAD (office administration) wing. The open classrooms are on the second floor on the back hallway and can be used if there is no class present.
If you are typing a paper, I recommend buying a portable USB drive. This will allow you to save your work if the printers are down.
Also, if you are printing out PowerPoint slides be sure to print multiple slides on a single sheet of paper. This will help us conserve paper and ink.

2 Important Days
Wow, 2009 is flying by! Can you believe it's already the middle of January?! Next week, our country will celebrate two historic figures. On Monday, a lot of people will be rejoicing a day to sleep in others will celebrate the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr. Many cities will be doing a day of service in honor of his memory. Others may attend a unity breakfast and I'm sure many schools will do plays.
Tuesday, is Inauguration Day and Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Many televisions will be tuned to this this momentous event. Others will travel in person to witness this changing of the guard.
The works of Martin Luther King and countless others involved in the Civil Rights Movement helped bring Tuesday into fruition. A day many people thought they would never see intheir lifetime. While many know Martin Luther King's name, there were countless men and women of all sizes, shapes and colors that worked tirelessly in the fight. Many even lost their lives.
If you want to learn more about the Civil Rights Movemnet, Martin Luther King, Jr. or Barack Obama please stop by the SSCC libraries.
