LIBRARY INFORMATION FOR CURRENTLY ENROLLED ONLINE STUDENTS
SUMMER 2007
Log on to the webpage and click on “online catalog” and follow the directions to access the book collection at BRTC. We can mail you the book(s) that you need if you are unable to visit the library in person - you will be responsible for return postage. Additionally, BRTC personnel carry materials back and forth from the Pocahontas and Paragould campuses, so this service can also be utilized as well. Maximum time for keeping the books is one month. E-mail me at anne.simpson@blackrivertech.edu to request book loans, giving the title and author of the book(s). All loans are subject to the policies listed in the Student Guide to Library Services.
FirstSearch’s WorldCat can be used to create interlibrary loan requests.
(Please note that all library records must be cleared at the end of each semester or term before grades can be received, transcripts sent, etc.)
For MAGAZINE/JOURNAL/NEWSPAPER articles:
Passwords are needed to access the library’s subscription online products, where students have access to thousands of magazines, journals, and newspapers. Just click on “databases” to see the selection of databases available to students. Passwords (for the databases that require them) can be attained at Blackboard's "Student Lounge" area, or you may e-mail or call the library. The databases are quite easy to use, but e-mail or phone us if you experience difficulties.
Take time to acquaint yourself with all the products listed on the "database" link. You'll find lots of good information!
