Remind me to take my passport to the library…
Haskell Free Library & Opera House sits directly on the US/Canada border. Thinking of sneaking into the country hidden in a stack of books? Think again! Check out their warnings here: Haskell Free Library and Opera House.
And so it begins…again!
Though this is my final year in the SJSU SLIS program, today marks the start of the journey for all new students. As a LIBR 203 Peer Mentor I am excited to share this time with you all!

Linking Google Scholar to Library Holdings
It’s no secret that I love having access to the numerous online databases available from being a student at a university library. Google Scholar is another great search engine for finding journal articles. However, Google Scholar is missing the full access to articles that one can get from being part of an academic institution. That problem can be solved by linking your academic library with your Google account, enabling you to see if the article is available from your library. You can view the tutorial from SJSU King Library here: Customizing Google Scholar | San José State University Library.
2e Resources for Parents, Educators, and Twice-Exceptional Students
Children that have above-average intelligence, yet also have a disability are considered “twice-exceptional”, or 2e. This LibGuide I created for LIBR 210 (Reference & Information Services) focuses on resources available in the Los Angeles area, though the information is pertinent nationwide.
