Final Thoughts on the Library at LCCC

I have been very pleased with my time at the LCCC Library. I have grown very close to the staff and the campus has always felt like home from the time I was a student here and worked with the Student Government. Working in the library has helped me develop into a better librarian. I can help people locate the information they are looking for, I understand how to locate the materials both physically in the library and those online. In addition, I have learned a little about collection development and about the funtion of the library to the student and how to plan a new library around them.

After this experience, I feel this library is a wonderful thing for the student body. It goes far beyond the role as a collection of information. This library is completely student oriented and the event that put on by the library are fun and bring the students together. It provides food, drinks, and candy that make studying more enjoyable...or at least not as miserable. :P

If I were going to change anything, it would be to bring parts of the library up to date. Wireless internet and study rooms are highly needed to make this a top notch library. Fortunately for the students this is in the works and this combined with this great staff will provide a superior resource for this campus.

Again, I would like to state how much I enjoyed this experience. It was a comfortable place to work and one I will never forget.
