Welcome Back, Returning Students!

Welcome back, students!

We know you're relaxed from your summer and working hard to get ready for the fall semester. Here are several services the library offers for you and your peers.

Research Consultations
Librarians are available to meet with you individually for one-on-one research consultation appointments. If you want help broadening or narrowing a topic, finding appropriate sources, or citing sources correctly, please set up an appointment with a librarian. This service has been heavily used by your fellow students in upper level courses in previous semesters.

Course Reserves
Your professor(s) may make supplemental reading materials available to you through the course reserves system, Ares. If you have questions about library reserves, or have issues with Ares, use the Ask Us Anything service to get research help.

We hope you have a great semester, and we look forward to working with you!

We highlighted several other services in our welcome note to new students, if we missed one of your faves, please tweet us @shiplibrary or tweet it yourself and tag #shiplibrary so we can connect!

Ship Resources: More than meets the eye

When you think of the library, what comes to mind? A place to check out books? A study space? A stop for Starbucks on the way to class?

It is all of that, and more!

The library can also be a gateway to a vast amount of online resources that have been chosen and purchased especially for you! For example, you know that the library has lots of books available for your use...

...but did you know that there are also thousands of ebooks that you can use through the library?

Here are some reasons to check out the ebook collections at Lehman Library:

• We have over 50,000 ebooks available for your use!
• We have ebooks in all subject areas, from History and English to Chemistry and Computer Science and everything in between!
• You can use ebooks anywhere, from your dorm room to your classroom and even off-campus.
• Many ebooks can be downloaded, and you can take notes and highlight digitally.

To find out more about ebooks at Lehman Library, visit our website or ask a librarian.

We want to hear from you!

According to a recent article in the Washington Post, college students prefer reading print books over ebooks.

How do Shippensburg University students compare?

Would you rather use a print book or an ebook?

Is there a difference for you between using an ebook for an assignment vs. reading an ebook for fun?
