Corner Librarian, here, welcoming you to the 2007/2008 school year! We’ve got some great things planned for this year and as a little refresher for those of you who are back with us this year, and for those of you who are brand new to SHC, I thought I’d use today’s blog to give out some important info about the library.
First off, here’s a link to the ITS Website, where you can get information about BadgerWeb, Connecting to the SHC network, and login/password info. If you don’t find what you need, try the Help Desk at: 380-2276.
***LIBRARY STUFF***
CATALOG: For access to the library online catalog, go to the library home page and click on Library Catalog, under the Books, Journals, Movies, Etc. heading. This is the catalog of all print and online resources we have in the library.
SAMPLE CATALOG RECORD

BYRNE CALL NUMBER COPY MATERIAL LOCATION
HF5825 .M38 1992 1 BOOK STACKS
CALL NUMBERS & LOCATIONS FOR BOOKS: The books are arranged by Library of Congress call number, on the record above the call number is: HF5825 .M38 1992. According to this record, this book is located in the STACKS.
When a library catalog record says STACKS, this means the book in the main shelves of the library located on the Lower Level and the Second Floor. If the location said: REFERENCE, the book would be in the reference area on the first floor of the library. OVERSIZE books, including many art books, are located on the Second Floor at the far right (when coming off the elevator) end of the stacks.
The Call Number Range of a set of shelves is marked on a sign at either end of the shelves. The books are shelved alphabetically by call number. Call Numbers A-PR are located on the Second Floor. PS-Z are located on the Lower Level.
DVD/VIDEOS: The DVD Collection is located just inside the library reference area to the right of the HELP DESK/CIRCULATION DESK. DVD’s are kept behind the circulation desk.
PERIODICALS: New Periodicals and Bound Periodicals (magazines, journals, newspapers) are located on the Lower Level of the library.
ONLINE MATERIALS: To access electronic databases, such as Ebsco’s Academic Search Premier, click on the Electronic Resources link on the library home page. Here you will find an alphabetical listing of all the databases the library subscribes to. If you are looking for a specific electronic periodical, go to the E-Journal Titles link on the library home page. Type in the title you are looking for, or check the list alphabetically. The library subscribed to a variety of newpapers, magazines and other online periodicals and this list is the easiest way to see if we have something in online format. If we don’t have what you want digitally, check the library catalog to see if we subscribe to the print version of the periodical you are looking for. Be sure to limit your search box to Periodical Title.
This should tide you over for now, but if you have any questions about navigating the library or the library online environment, please feel free to email me at: acollins@shc.edu
Welcome and let’s have a great year!
