Library's Ebook Collection Growing

Books are an important part of the Library's collections. We have more than 14,000 books, and Beck and Katherine, our collection development team, spend a lot of time searching for new books to add to the Library. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to be successful at Florida Hospital College. And books contain a lot of the information your professors want you to have.

But books can be a problem. Books are here, in the Library, sitting on our shelves. Which is great if you are in the Library too. But a book isn't helpful if you need the information when you are at home, or if you are a distance student who never sets foot on campus. So we have also been adding ebooks to the Library's collections.

You have probably noticed that we have ebooks. But you may have also failed to find what you needed in our ebook collection. Our ebook collection has been pretty small. Last April, we had only 145 ebooks. But we have spent a lot of time buying ebooks, and our collection has grown. Today, our catalog lists 991 ebooks, covering hundreds of topics. And every day (literally), we add more ebooks to the catalog. So every day there is a greater chance the information you are looking for is in an ebook that you can access whenever you need it.

To find our ebooks, search for your topic or title in the online catalog. In the refine column on the right side of the search results, click ebook (under Library format). The catalog will limit your search to just ebooks.

Media Services Under New Management

Media Services is now a part of the Center for Academic Achievement. My office has moved to the second floor Library, and the audio-visual material has moved to the Library circulation desk. The Center for Academic Achievement is in charge of everything in the Media Services space. In addition to being a study area and computer lab, the space is now used for nursing tutoring, allowing the Center for Academic Achievement to hold more group tutoring sessions.

If you need information about the new Media Services, please contact the Center for Academic Achievement (located on the second floor of the Campus Center).

Next week (February 22-27) is spring break. During spring break, the Library will be open, but we will be operating with semester break hours. Media Services will be closed. Both the Library and Media Services will resume normal hours Monday, March 1.

Enjoy the break from classes.
