New Students, Welcome to the Fall Semester!

The Library welcomes you to the Fall semester. We will be open Mondays through Thursdays 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Fridays, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

We welcome you to a wonderful education at Chabot College. If you ever need help in your research, a librarian is available for you, on the left side of the main desk.

The Library provides many resources, both in print and electronic. Print resources can be checked out with your student ID card and you can find them in the Library Catalog. Electronic resources are available to you from the Library Databases page (as well as other pages). Go to How to Get Into Databases Off Campus to learn how to access them from your home.

The Library is also a study area, so please do not have loud conversations and have your cell phones on vibrating. If you receive a call, politely step outside to have your conversation.

Study rooms are available for groups of two or more. The sign up sheet is available at the reference desk. You can sign up to one week in advance.

Your library card is your student ID card. Have your picture taken in the photo ID center, located just above the cafeteria. You will need your Student ID card to check out books, for other on campus needs, let alone some movie houses out there will actually give you a student discount if you show it to them! So keep your student ID card in your wallet.

Books are purchased at the Chabot bookstore, not the Library. The Library has SOME textbooks available on reserve, but only if your instructor(s) have placed them there. They are most often available for only ONE HOUR checkout and are NOT to leave the Library (the time is there for you to make photocopies). Do NOT assume it will be there, even if the textbook is sold out at the bookstore. If the textbook is NOT in the Library's reserves collection, be sure to notify your instructor.

If you have any questions, please be sure to see a librarian on the left side of the main desk.

This Week at the Library, Hours for Finals Week, Returning Books

On May 20 at twelve noon, at the Library, in Rooms 107A and B, enjoy the readings from promising Chabot writers and poets from the latest issue of The Chabot Review, Chabot College's literary magazine, an annual publication that has been around for 47 years!

This year's publication is titled Chabot Review 2008: Serious Business

Also hear about the forthcoming special issue coming this Fall, The Best of the Chabot Review.

Reminder of Hours and Returns:

As you are planning to study for Finals, remember that the Library's Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays and 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Fridays. We are closed during the weekends.

Three study rooms are available for groups of two or more. You can sign up to one week in advance, at the Reference Desk. (At least two names MUST be signed up). Maximum of two hours per day. Be sure to sign up rather than assume a room, as you will be asked to leave if a signed-up study group arrives. If a signed-up study group does not show up after 10 minutes of the time signed, the room is considered forfeited to any other study group who may want to use it at this time.

Please have your cell phone conversations outside. Believe it or not, people studying near you do not want to hear your conversation. Keep phones at vibrating (no sound) and text message them and let them know you'll talk to them in a moment, as you kindly step outside.

Please remember, that regardless when you check out a book, all books must returned by May 30. The Library will be closed from May 31 until June 15 (until summer session begins).
If you need to return a book (and pay a fine) after May 30, keep in mind that during the day you can enter just to pay your fine. There will be people staffed here on Mondays through Thursdays of the first two weeks of June.
