Book Library Sessions in 2023/2024!

The Library Department teaches a variety of topics on every campus!  Please don’t hesitate to contact your campus library staff member to schedule a Library Instruction. Each session ranges from 40 minutes to an hour and a half (but we are flexible!) either in person or virtually.  We always recommend that pertinent sessions are scheduled close to an assignment due date to ensure each session is as relevant to the students as possible.

Get in touch with: Emily MacIsaac (PWC & TCC), Leslie Holt (PWC & TCC), Patricia Doucette (PWC & TCC), and Jean Lykow (SWC) to schedule a time.

 

Holland College Library Online Services 

There are so many amazing and useful Online resources that can be helpful to you when creating an assignment or pointing your students in the right direction to find academic resources for their assignments. The PDF above has clickable links for all of the resources listed.  

 

The Library is more than just books!

The Library is a space for everyone and it is so much more than books! The library is a space to gather with friends to study, do group work, or just hang out. Libraries on each campus host contests, or photo contests that are for anyone who wants to send in a photo! You can also find supplies if needed and staff want to help you as best they can, so don't be shy to ask for something. Holland College Libraries are also on Social Media! @Hollandcollegelibraries on Instagram and you can find us on Facebook
