Special Education and the Law

The Library is pleased to announce the addition of several books and DVDs on Special Education and the Law. These materials were purchased through a grant awarded by CARLI, the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois, and are now available for check-out. Stop by the Library for a look at the display by the main entrance!

I-Share Just Got Sweeter

I-Share, the online catalog for a number of college and university libraries in Illinois, just increased in size. There are 5 more libraries added to the mix, which brings the grand total to 76 library collections available to Parkland faculty, staff, and students. Yay for more materials available to us!

Why is this a big deal? If Parkland doesn't have a book you want, you can request it through I-Share. The item is delivered to Parkland for you to pick up in our library. Need help? Contact us at the Information Desk.

15 years down...15 more to go! Congratulations Frank!

Congratulations to Frank Blair on his 15 years at Parkland College!

Frank began his employment at Parkland in 1993 as a custodian on the night shift, later working in the mail room (1999), and in 2003 he became an Access Services Assistant in our Library. Frank works the front desk assisting library patrons. He also maintains the Library’s book stacks and he is primarily responsible for managing the Library's system for billing and fines.

Stop in to congratulate Frank on this milestone!

Welcome Back Parkland Faculty!

Parkland Library wants to welcome the faculty back to campus! We've missed seeing you, so drop into the library to say hello...check out a book...schedule an instruction session...put something on reserve...or just take a stroll through the stacks.
