Student Theatre Production: Godspell, April 10-13 and 17-20 at 7pm

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

GodspellGodspell, a classic, colorful splash of a Broadway musical from 1971 that enjoyed a fresh run on Broadway in 2011 and 2012, is coming to DCCC! Students who are attracted to late 60’s and early 70’s rock (and baby boomers who will remember every note) will feel the heartening theme of community while enjoying the moving lyrics performed by students in the DCCC  theater department.

An overview of the play is provided by the Guide to Musical Theatre, and this article from The Dramatist (follow links) refers to both the original 1971 and the retro 2012 productions on Broadway.

More details about the DCCC Student Theatre Production of Godspell after the jump!

Research Help in the Distance Age

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

Whether you’re taking art history or zoology, research projects are daunting. There are so many skills to master at once—many students don’t know where to begin. That’s why Library Services is offering a series of 10 synchronous webinars, each targeting a different aspect of the research process.

Whether you want to learn how to narrow your research topic, evaluate the sources you’ve found, use library databases, or conduct research on your smartphone, we’ve got you covered with 30-minute, interactive, online webinars, each taught by a DCCC librarian. Peruse the whole list here, and register for whatever you like.

Bonus: Attendance at 3 webinars gets you a Certificate of Information Literacy to post on your office wall. Frame not included.

Love’s Labour’s Lost

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013

Are you going to see College production of Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost next week? We hear it’s going to be great.

We know Shakespeare can be intimidating, but it’s so much fun to see live. And if you know the plot beforehand, you’re golden.

Don’t know the plot? We can help you with that. Just head on over to Bloom’s Literary Reference Online, an excellent resource that’s free to current DCCC students and faculty. Just type “Love’s Labour’s Lost” (spelling counts!) into the search box and click the Overviews and Synopses tab in the result. That first article in the list is a scene-by-scene synopsis. Give it a quick read before you go, so when you get there you can get even more out of the magic that is live performance.

See a free student matinee next Tuesday and Wednesday (January 29th and 30th) at 2pm. Information about all other performances here.

Spend Spring Break at the Library

Saturday, March 10th, 2012

Need a quiet study space to bang out all that work that’s piled up over the semester? The library’s got you covered over spring break. We’ll be here from 8am to 4pm, Monday, March 12th through Friday, March 16th. We’ll be closed on Saturday and Sunday, and then we’ll reopen for regular business on Monday, March 19th.

Looking for help with your research paper? We’ve got professional research helpers (librarians) here over spring break between 10am and 2pm, Monday through Friday. If that doesn’t work for you, check out AskHerePA. It’s a 24/7 chat service staffed by professional librarians who are well informed about DCCC library and its policies.

If you’re not in such a hurry, send your question over email, and we’ll get back to you when the reference desk re-opens.
