Entertaining visit to the CofC Library!

Meeting with Jared Seay helped our class learn more about the CofC library page! 5 of the things that stuck with me throughout this visit are listed below. Along with some pictures on our visit!

This is Jared Seay informing us about the
library website and ways we can take
advantage of it!

1. One of the things I thought was interesting about this visit is that there is a website on the CofC library page and its called Special Collections. These special collections show very old maps, texts, etc. that someone may need to use for a school assignment. This can be used digitally, which is newly added to their website, or someone can go to the library, on the 3rd floor, and get access to some older texts they're looking for! 

This is a snapshot of their home page!

2. One thing I learned that I thought was interesting was that there are phone chargers, go pros, computer chargers, projectors, etc. that students can go rent from the circulation desk! Pretty cool!

3. There are also streaming websites that are "similar" to Netflix/Hulu. One of the streaming websites we looked at was Kanopy Streaming Service. This can be used if a student has to watch a documentary or some type of movie that needs to be watched for a class, they can use this website! Interesting that this is a thing at CofC!

This is the Kanopy website shown to us in the classroom!

4. There is a place on the library website that can be visited by clicking the tab that says "Ask Us". There are options that say "Chat With Us", "Meet With Us", and there is a keyword search bar where you can ask questions. I thought this was pretty cool because there is always someone to help when you need it! Through either chatting on the website, or making an appointment with appointment manager.

5. Last but not least, I learned that on the databases search bar, you can filter the search by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting what specific subjects you're trying to search!
