All that is needed to access these databases from home is a password and a home computer with an Internet connection. While SSC Library does have an impressive collection of journals in print and online, we do not have every journal. However, we do have an Interlibrary Loan department with people who will go out of their way to locate materials at other libraries. Interlibrary Loan is available for all members of the Salem State College Community. When you want to incorporate the library into your lesson plans, consider bringing your class to the library during class time.
Library instruction is offered during class-time to students when scheduled by the instructor.
These are one-time library tours that orient students to the library resources. When one session is not enough, instructors can schedule multiple sessions that provide in-depth training and instruction in the use of specific databases. All library tours are tailored around a specific course or assignment. What you may not know is that it is not necessary to be a computer scientist to easily navigate the online collection. The databases are organized in several ways to make navigation simple.
