Books? You bet.

Holly Gearhart, a Psych Major who is also studying Information Technology,wanted to share her enthusiasm for the Holman Library print collection:

“Since I was a kid you could find me in a Library looking something up- asking questions, getting answers. The net is great, and I love having information literally at my fingertips, but there is nothing quite like holding a book in your hands and flipping through pages, especially with a perfectly brewed cup of “Joe”.
Besides, your eyes will wilt if all you read is a computer screen. Give your senses a break: Read a book!”

Research Assistance

Student Tyler Gordon came to the Information Center Reference Desk on the second floor to say:

“I didn’t understand how to do research; I’m so glad that I came to you. You really helped me out with this today and I’m really grateful. What I learned will help me in the future too.”

Final projects, papers, presentations? The Holman Librarians are ready!

Dub Poetry & InterLibrary Loan Service

While working on her final project presentation, GRCC student Nikkita Morris was not finding the information that she needed using internet searches. Nikkita came to the Information Center Reference Desk on the second floor, put a Holman Librarian to work for her, and got the job done.

The librarian working with Nikkita found that information about Dub Poetry was available through Interlibrary loan, or "ILL", the term for one library borrowing materials from another. This gives Holman Library users access to materials that are not available in our building. Nikkita said:

“Because of the freshness of Dub Poetry, it was hard to find information. I didn’t know about ILL. The Librarian was really helpful and helped me to locate good sources that I could request from other libraries. The information that I had sent to me through ILL came in time for me to review Dub Poetry and better my presentation. It was really helpful!”
