Applications are available only at ST-17(near the Student Services Building). Students will need to fill out the application completely and have either their professor OR counselor sign it and turn it back in to the office. At this time, due to overwhelming demand, only one textbook per student will be loaned out this semester. <br /><br />Additionally, the Associates have provided funding to the Library to purchase many of the core textbooks for students to use at the Library to complete their homework. The books must be used at the Library and cannot be taken home. Currently there are about 200 textbooks available at the library.<br /><br />Students who take classes at the Escondido Center can check with library there. They have purchased textbooks with funding from the President's Associates again this year.<br /><br />Textbooks are listed in the online catalog. <a href="http://sirsi.palomar.edu/uhtbin/cgisirsi.exe/rsUvJqxHVw/0/9040005/60/502/X">Click here to view the catalog.</a> If you do not see yours, please drop by or call us (760-744-1150, ext. 2612) to find out if your textbook is available.Linda Morrow, Facultyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14729407725709909419noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140483028910170360.post-56535219897751405362009-08-23T21:40:00.000-07:002009-08-23T21:44:58.356-07:00Welcome Back!We are excited to have everyone back.

It’s your right to know!In support of the College’s general education curriculum, the library is now offering instructional sessions that focus on the Campus Explorations theme, the Environment and Sustainable Living: Global Crises and Solutions. Instructors, student groups and others are encouraged to come to the library for a discussion on the conflicting research and news reports regarding the environment and sustainable living. For example, hybrid cars are the rave, but some sources say the cost of the production is not worth the benefit of driving one. Discussion on conflicting sources of information will be followed by instruction on how to find and evaluate information about the environment and sustainable living. If we believe it’s our responsibility to save the earth, it’s also our right and responsibility to be informed about how to save it.<br /><br />To schedule a session, please complete the <a href="https://mail.palomar.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.palomar.edu/library/infocomp/requestform.htm" target="_blank">library instruction request form</a> or contact Katy French at <a href="mailto:kfrench@palomar.edu" target="_blank">kfrench@palomar.edu</a> or ext. 3640.
