Library Newsletter – March 25, 2020

 

Featured Stories:

  • Accessing Library Services Online: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Library staff members have been working to ensure that students, faculty, and staff have access to the resources they need for teaching, research and learning. Detailed information about hours, services and support can be found on the “Library Resources and Support” eLearn course which is accessible to all members of the Stonehill Community. We have also made that same information available on a Library Guide titled “Library Access During COVID-19”. That library guide is accessible to all via the library’s website and thereby providing parents, alumni and prospective students information about how the library has adapted to this public health crisis. Both the eLearn site and the LibGuide will be continually updated as new information becomes available.
  • What Makes the MacPhaidin Library Unique? Access Services Assistant, Andrew Smith, illustrated one of the many ways that makes the MacPhaidin Library unique – Eaton the Pig!   
  • Streaming Movies Available: Are you tired of browsing through Netflix or Hulu?  Looking for a new or different movie to watch?  The MacPhaidin Library has access to over 40,000 films, less than Netflix, but nothing to sneeze at
