Next week is a time to thank the nurses that you know.
National Nurses Week starts on May 6th, which is National Nursing Day, and runs through May 12th, which is Florence Nightingale's birthday.
Here is a video from our Streaming Media collection that shows a little bit about the history of nurses.
The library would like to take this time to thank nurses for their wonderful contributions.

Accessing the Library from Afar
Remote library access is changing to make life easier for you!
The library resources and databases can now be accessed using your MEID and my Maricopa password instead of your PIN (which is the last four digits of your phone number).
For those of you who enjoyed and easily remembered your PIN we will be continuing to allow access with PIN numbers through the end of the Spring 2013 semester. At the end of that time everyone will need to use their MEID and my Maricopa password to access the library resources.
This change should make it easier for all of the Gateway Community College students and staff to remember your information when you use our services.

Get A Room...A Study Room!
The library study rooms are now always unlocked and ready for students to wander in and use whenever the library is open. If you want to use one of the rooms then gather a study group and come to the library or visit one of our quiet rooms if you are alone and want to review your notes before class.
The library has six group study rooms for students to come and use together. If you are alone we also have two quiet rooms where individuals can work alone in a quiet setting. Half of the rooms have padded chairs with movable desk tops, while the other half have a large table with chairs around it.
The rooms are equipped with plugs for your electronic devices, a white board to work out your thought processes on, and a monitor you can hook into if you want to display your power point or any other image on a larger screen.
So come to the library and get a room...A Study Room!
