4 Library Blogs; 2007 to 2017

Last Blog Post!


We’ve published four blogs since 2007 at Palm Beach State College Library-Lake Worth campus!  These posts covered instructional events, lib guides, library history, college history & archives, campus art, book reviews, news & events and more! 

We shared all the ups and downs of implementing our iPads, Kindles, Nooks & eDevices in the early years of the new technology at that time, [2009]. We also covered the numerous Professional Teaching & Learning Center's workshops and presentations in our Gallery. 

The variety of library blogs helped students, faculty and staff become familiar with the Library Learning Resource Center, LLRC.  Students could monitor activities and events online and have the opportunity to attend these events. They would let us know their thoughts about various activities and they also shared their ideas with us.

Our Librarian/Associate Professors and Library Technicians have been posting news and other useful information on our other library Social Media sites including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. This is a great way to keep in touch with all library related information.
