Look, Listen, Read – Visual, Audio, Text - The Library Has It All

Whenever you need digital images, charts, diagrams, music, or video for –

 

* an illustrated oral report;

 

* clips or images embedded in a Powerpoint presentation;

 

* clips or images embedded in an online essay;

 

* printed images, charts, diagrams attached to a written essay -

 

Visit the Library website! Click on Multimedia Collection under Featured Resources (or Databases by Subject: Media).

 

Many resources listed here are no-brainers. ARTstor is clearly an image collection; Ambrose Video offers streaming films; Naxos Music and Naxos Spoken Word contain streaming audio files.

 

You’ll be surprised at some of the others. For example, Access Science and Encyclopedia Britannica continually add new video content!

 

How to cite the multimedia resources you use in your reports? Many resources include a citation in MLA or APA format for each image or clip. Or, use NoodleBib, the citation generator provided by the library.

 

You can be sure that these resources are reliable and accurate, unlike many hits you will retrieve in a Google or Yahoo! Search. 

 

Get or update your library card each semester and you can use library resources from off-campus too.

 

Questions? Visit, call, email or Meebo us. Contact information is on the website.

Citing Sources - NoodleBib

As project due dates approach, remember that the library provides NoodleBib, an online citation generator that can help students create and edit an MLA Works Cited page or APA Reference page for research assignments. Find NoodleBib by clicking on the link just to the left of the middle of the library webpage http://library.camdencc./edu (see below),

 
  

NoodleBib is based on the latest editions of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

    In addition, the library offers an online guide to NoodleBib, found by clicking on the link "Citing Sources" in the left hand navigation bar. The guide augments the instructions provided by NoodleBib itself. It describes how to get started, the process of generating citations, how to manipulate and use the citation list that NoodleBib creates, and offers additional tips on using NoodleBib as well as links to other citation and writing guides, and guides to recognizing and avoiding plagiarism.

    For further information on citing sources, please contact a librarian.

Screen Names for Online Chat Service

Ask-the Librarian recently responded to this question:

Q: Would you be able to tell me the AIM screen name for the library? I would like to add it to my buddy list.

A: I'd be happy to! On AOL Instant Messenger, the library's screen name is cccasklib.

Here are our other screen names for online chat:

Yahoo: cccasklib

MSN: CCCLibrary

Google Talk: cccasklib

        See you online!

Start at the library home page to use online materials from off-campus

Ask-the-Librarian recently helped a person who could not get into EBSCO article databases from home with the following advice. The same directions are true for article databases from other vendors.

 

Camden County College library cardholders must begin at the library home page:

 

1) First, go to the library home page:

http://library.camdencc.edu/

 

2) Click on the tab "Find Articles & more"

 

3) Select which database you want to search. EBSCO is a company that provides many databases, such as Academic Search Premier (a general database, searching academic, news, and magazine sources), PsycArticles (Psychology journals), CINAHL (Nursing sources) & Business Source Premier(business sources).

 

4) When you click on 'go' or 'select' to connect to the database, you will be prompted to enter your name and library card number. This is how you are authenticated as a Camden County College user.

 

Don't hesitate to ask your questions via email (see Ask A Librarian at the top of the home page) or IM (Meebo box on the left side of the home page) if you can't get to a library in person.

Artifacts from the local history collection of the Willingboro Public Library will be on display at the Wolverton Library during the month of April.

Willingboro NJ celebrated its 50^th anniversary in 2008 with events that featured reunions of original residents and exhibits of memorabilia.

  The town began as Levittown NJ, but later reclaimed the area’s historic name. We thank the Willingboro Public Library for their generosity in lending material for this exhibit.
