ABSTRACT

Almost every day of your life, you receive and process information: you watch the evening news, you read a billboard, you go to a movie. Sometimes, you purposely welcome information (e.g., reading the daily newspaper), while at other times information is forced upon you (e.g., almost any television commercial). And as a community college student enrolled in various courses, you receive information from your instructors in their lectures and from the textbooks you read. But receiving and processing information are one thing; finding it is another. And this is precisely where the library comes in.
