The news is out: the Library has been buying books again. A “museum quality” collection has been refreshed with hundreds of new titles at both LBCC libraries.
One of the areas of the collection in which current events have had the biggest impact is the environment, and library customers will find titles such as
• Fueling the Future, a series on alternative fuels with volumes on biomass, coal, water, wind, nuclear power, natural gas, and geothermal power
• The Wild Marsh: Four Seasons at Home in Montana by Rick Bass who channels Walt Whitman in exploring the wilderness with his family
• What is Biodiversity? By James Maclaurin and Kim Sterelny, a theoretical and conceptual exploration of the biological world and how diversity is valued
These and many other new titles are on the “Recent Additions” shelves at both
LBCC libraries. Come in and browse!
Prefer to get your environmental information online? No problem. Thanks to the library’s subscription to Environment: A Current Issues Database members of the LBCC campus community can get 100% full text articles from key publications that cover a variety of environmental issues. And of course they’re available through the library’s web site 24/7. Begin with a key topic that you choose from an easy point and click display, such as deforestation, carbon trading, endangered species, biofuels, oil spills, green jobs and many others. You can expect to see 25-35 relevant articles for each topic, selected for their quality and comprehensiveness, plus the option to extend the search to view additional articles.
Give it a try by going to the library home page http://lib.lbcc.edu/ , clicking on “Articles and Databases,” then selecting Environment: A Current Issues Database.
Remember, though, if you’re off campus click first on this button to verify your LBCC affiliation:
