HCC Library quarterly Message from the Director Though the snow, wind and ice suggest otherwise, spring (and spring break!) is just around the corner. Plan to travel over break and want to travel light? Why not download some of our ebooks on your personal device? Or, if you prefer a paperback novel for your beach reading, why not donate it for our Used Book Sale when you return? Books and library resources in all formats are much on my mind as we plan for the renovation of the HCC Library a few years from now. The Library team and I send our thanks to all the students, faculty, and staff who have participated in our surveys, focus groups, and design charrettes this winter. You have provided us with lots of great, creative ideas to process! Please continue to share your ideas for the future of your library with us, especially during March since the planning documents are due to the state on May 1. We want to continue to shape this Library to meet your needs and the needs of your students.

Digital Media Basics — Digital Literacy With the growing trend of media moving to a digital format, media literacy becomes more and more important. Being able to create this content allows creators to get their message out. From an education standpoint, the ability to produce digital media content will help enhance the learning experience for both student and instructor, providing more avenues for students to consume and absorb content that is created by instructors. -Thomas Ebel 3/27

Faculty may benefit from learning how to find federal resources such as historical speeches and records, guides to art collections, local/state/federal census data, crime statistics, health statistics, employment information, consumer spending information, resources for people with hearing/vision/physical impairments, engineering resources, business data, and much more! -Andrea Craley 3/14 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m. L111
Serving the Whole Student As HCC strives to become a student ready college, it is imperative that we are all able to meet students at their point of need. Too often, students come to a service desk or faculty asking for help but unable to articulate their actual needs. The staff and/or faculty member must decipher the actual need of the student in order to get the student the correct information. Providing a superior culture of service excellence is a learned skill that is dependent on active listening and the ability to ask the correct follow up questions. The Library, Learning Center, and CETL are presenting a workshop that addresses these needs. The workshop is open to everyone on campus and will provide an opportunity to develop and practice these skills in a supportive, collaborative environment. - Lois Entner/Pam Runge/Sherry Massoni 3/11 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. MD 7 5/9

In the Stacks The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Right to Vote Elaine F. Weiss, 2018 JK1896 .W45 2018 — 3rd floor An account of the 1920 ratification of the constitutional amendment that granted voting rights to women traces the culmination of seven decades of legal battles and cites the pivotal contributions of famous suffragists and political leaders. From the book jacket: "The nail-biting climax of one of the greatest political battles in American history. Nashville, August 1920. The Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, granting all women the vote, is on the verge of ratification--or defeat. Out of the thirty-six states needed, thirty-five have approved it, and one last state is still in play--Tennessee. After a sevendecade crusade to win the ballot, this is the moment of truth for the suffragists, and Nashville becomes a frenzied battleground as the enormous forces allied for and against women's suffrage make their last stand. Elaine Weiss artfully recasts the saga of women's quest for the vote by focusing on the campaign's last six weeks, when it all came down to one ambivalent state."

Hays-Heighe House Exhibit Votes for Women: Taking our Place in Politics Thursday, February 7 through Saturday, June 1, 2019 This exhibit was inspired by the campaign for women’s suffrage in the United States, the 100th anniversary of the final pushes in the Senate for the 19th Amendment, and the ratification nationally of women’s right to vote. Alliances formed for and against women’s suffrage reveal important divisions in American society in the first part of the 20th century, with roots before the Civil War, and branches that continue to this day. Votes for Women explores w omen’s sphere as it expands to include political office, considers the changing understandings of civic virtue, and reveals difficult choices that political movements must make in pursuit of their goals. Throughout, the exhibit highlights topics with a contemporary resonance: women’s position in society, social protest, racial divisions, and political engagement. For resources and information about the women’s suffrage movement, see our exhibit subject guide at harford.libguides.com/womens_suffrage.
