Welcome to Fall 2013!
Welcome back to Students and Faculty! Here are a few items to get done this week.
- Get a library card. If you don't already have a PLS library card from any library in San Mateo County, you can apply for a new card at the College of San Mateo Library.
- Get a USB flash drive to save your school work. You can buy them at the campus bookstore -you'll probably need 4 gigabytes or more.
- Check College Reserves for your textbooks. If your instructor has a copy and puts it in College Reserves, you can check it our for use in the library. Check back often -- new reserve items get added as the semester progresses.
- If you are taking distance education classes check out the library's Distance Education Resources.
- Meet the librarians and library staff! Stop by, email us or chat with us online. We're here to answer your questions and help get you off to your best possible start this fall semester!
