Library Stories

 

The majority of classes require you to write some type of paper. It may either be a discussion, a research, or dissertation paper, but the library is a full-service department. The library offers virtual and in-person research consultation. It has virtual webinars on all types of writing, research, and other information. I would like to recognize the entire Northline staff with special emphasis on Raquel Donahue, [who] took the time to guide me through a very difficult assignment. I learn quite a bit from her during her classes.

Danna presented an informative introduction to Generative A I today. It was a great overview of how A I can benefit academic research as well as some elements of A I that may be not so beneficial. Thank you for making these golden nuggets available to the students.

She helps me with the study rooms; I like to have a quiet place to study. I don’t know her name but she’s one of the librarians, she’s really nice!!

I have a wide variety of information for research studies and the convenience of knowing where to locate what I need. This is an access to my continuing education. Ms. Jenn Wigle gave us a very good presentation of HCC Library system.

Ms. Wigle provided an excellent presentation for my English 1301 class about the resources available online and in person through the HCC Library. I learned a lot and I feel more prepared to be a successful student :)

It has been really informative on showing how things are organized. Honestly really helpful to find books that aren't available in regular libraries. Honestly all the librarians I've met have been very friendly and helpful.

The library's members and resources have allowed me to be in the right track when it comes to finding appropriate sources and citations for essays. Raquel Donahue is a person I would like to recognize. She is such a professional library member, super sweet, provides the most helpful resources when I face trouble with my essays, is very guiding when using resources, and always helps answering my questions to the point I feel actually helped, she is the best!

The staff are all very hospitality oriented, and friendly, they are great listeners and strive to go above and beyond student's expectations.

The library has given me the resources for completing my classes [as well as] the books to inspire my personal growth. All of the librarians...are so kind and thoughtful!

I had not been to school in 30 years, I knew nothing. These ladies took me by the hand they made me feel safe, safe in knowing it was okay not to know. They took time with me as I pecked away on the computer. If I needed a tutor they pointed me in the right direction, help with canvas, help enrolling in classes; whatever problem I had regarding school, they provided the answer or how to find the answer. They never made me feel small, dumb, or most importantly, out of place. It was what I needed in my life; they had no idea what I was going through. That made it all the better because it was genuine. They probably will never know but they made a difference in my life and in my education.

They are always helpful when it comes to... getting ready to pick classes, [and checking out] a laptop which helped me in so many ways, because I don't have a laptop, and it really helps to have them.

Javier was very helpful with IT issues I was having.
