It's Grading Time! Are You Satisfied with Your Students' Final Exams and Papers?


If not, consider if library instruction might have helped. According to a recent survey, a third of GCC faculty using library instruction in their courses do so because they were not seeing the level of work they wanted to see from their students AND their students were struggling to locate appropriate sources for assignments.

If you'd like to learn more about how library instruction could enhance learning in your fall classes, please check out our information literacy menu.

Happy Graduation To Our Buhl Library Senior Student Workers!


We want to wish our graduating senior library workers the best of luck as they move on from Grove City College and thank them for all the wonderful memories they shared with us at Buhl Library!

Joanna Barham

I have many fun memories from working in the library these past few years. I was able to see firsthand all the renovations going on throughout the library, I got to talk to the librarians, loved seeing friends walk through and counting the number of visits people have to go to the coffee shop. I also thought it was fun to do the duck hunt and help hide them. Not to mention I'm so thankful for the sweet treats the librarians spoil us with and the friendships made along the way. After graduation, I'm getting married and going to Accelerated Nursing Program in Charlotte NC.

Lydia De Bruin

My favorite memory from working at the library is when friends pass by the front desk and stop to share a quick hello and a smile. After graduation, I will move to northern Virginia and pursue a career in social work and/or ministry. I am excited to live near the mountains and enjoy a summer spent developing community!

Megan Donor

My favorite memory from working at the library is falling asleep at the desk during the 11 pm -1 am shift and waking up to a student standing in front of me telling me that the printers weren’t working (oops!). After graduation, I am planning to move home and begin my career in Human Resources.

New Faculty Publications


Professor of Biblical & Religious Studies Carl R. Trueman wrote the forward to the recently published The Freedom of a Christian: A New Translation. This work is a new translation of the original work written by Martin Luther in 1520 from the original German to English by renowned Reformation scholar Robert Kolb. The Freedom of a Christian reminds modern-day readers that it is ultimately grace that transforms God’s people and frees us to love and obey.

What's New?


 

Here is a sampling of new resources in Buhl Library. Be sure to also check out the new book display in the library lobby.

Accessible Archives, Inc. was founded in 1990 with the goal of utilizing computer technology to make available vast quantities of archived historical information, previously furnished only in microformat, hard copy form, or as images only. In pursuit of this vision, primary source material has been selected to reflect a broad view of the times and has been assembled into databases with strict attention to detail allowing access to specific information with pinpoint accuracy.  Our online full-text search capability and digital imaging permit the user to search and manipulate this information in ways never before possible.

This approach has been highly acclaimed and Accessible Archives’ titles are now in use by universities, historical societies, primary/middle/secondary schools, individuals, and research libraries throughout the world. Titles will continue to be added, covering important topics and time periods for scholars, professors, students, genealogists, and historical societies. 

You can access Accessible Archives through the library's A-Z Databases or by using the link included here!
