Got Questions? There is a New Way to Get Answers!

The Library is unveiling a new Ask a Librarian web site that allows you to find the answers you need and connect with NWTC librarians (who love to answer questions for you)!

The web site (http://nwtc.libanswers.com) lets you:

• Search for answers (and email your question if you don’t find an answer)
• Chat with NWTC librarians during library hours
• Choose from featured questions, popular questions, and recent questions
• Find answers by browsing through categories
• Connect to library guides that will provide more information
• Get the numbers to call or text a librarian for additional help

Don’t be shy, give it a try (unintentional rhyming, sorry).

Sign up for your study rooms

Need a quiet space to concentrate as you prepare your final projects or review for exams?

Remember to sign up for one of the Library’s 10 study rooms.  You can even check out a tablet PC from the lab desk so that you can work on a computer in your private room for up to two hours.

The study rooms are also great options for working on group projects.  You can talk louder in the rooms than you can in the Library’s reading or computer areas.  You can even eat in there!  So order pizza and have the group meet you in your reserved room for dining and studying.

But hurry!  These rooms go quickly during this time of year. . .
