Sonoma State University Library Channel

Does your library have a Library Channel? Sonoma State University library does! It's website leads students to library tutorials, tours, and more by offering a link to its Library Channel. Voices of at least four academic librarians walk students through the mini-tutorials.

Selections include:

• Explore-a-floor (click on one of 3 floor plans to hear what resources are located there). Very friendly! I think I recognize that voice!
• Create a library PIN
• Find Books (on the Snoopy Library Catalog)
• Find a Journal
• Choose a Database
• Find Articles
• Reserve Items (for courses)
  
• eReserves (electronic course reserves)
• Library Orientation Quiz

In addition to inviting students to the Library Channel, SSU librarians offer help with icons for in-person, phone, e-mail, chat, and suggestions. The site also includes a "Staff Pick". This is all so good to see. Now to start looking at other university, public, and school library websites to see what's new for the new school year.

Sonoma State University Library is officially named the Jean & Charles Schulz Information Center. Charles Schulz is the creator of the popular, long-running comic Snoopy.
