is the library open?

Well, right now, not physically. But we do have curbside pickup, virtual reference desk hours, and a digital library. Click the library logo to see what's available.

My Teaching Philosophy:

Every student deserves access to the tools and information that empower them to share their unique knowledge, perspective, experience, and solutions.

I want your experience with the library and the research process (and me!) to be a positive, supportive one.
Although we are online, I hope you see and feel my presence as your partner in your learning process.
I want to hear from you, work with you, and improve my course because of you.

Technology has taken over the information landscape; librarians are the wranglers of this landscape and I want you to feel like you have a librarian in your corner should you decide you could use a hand. Additionally, knowing how to navigate a library and its resources is a superpower that I want all students to wield because information is the fuel that stokes the fire of our brains, of our voices, and of our efforts when we engage with the world around us to enact change.

My hope and goal is that you finish this semester with a view of yourself as a scholar, an asset, and as an agent of change for your own world. Your thoughts, ideas, and words are valuable contributions to the information landscape!

How to Get Answers to General Questions

Use the Library's Virtual Reference Desk(see the chat box below)

You can ask questions there for this class, or ANY class you're taking.

There's a Solano College librarian "on desk" 7 days a week to answer your questions. (I'm on Tuesdays 12-2!) And there are librarians on 24/7 that have access to our library's tools and FAQs, so you can always get help for this class, or any class, any time.
