Chabot Library Databases and The Zone
Hello, all. Happy New Year, and welcome to the Spring semester!
On how to access Library resources:
Please continue to find Chabot Library's webpage at: http://www.chabotcollege.edu/library or click on the Library link on the new Zone page.
Librarians from both Chabot and Las Positas served on the core Committee and have provided input to making the Zone user friendly to our students. Alas, the single sign-on will not yet work to get you or your students into the library's databases, meaning students logging into the portal will still need to log into databases when they are off-campus as they have in the past. From off campus, start either at our webpage OR go to: http://www.chabotcollege.edu/Library/abby/dbsoffcampus.html
Thank You,
Chabot Library

Banned Books Week: Sep. 27-Oct. 4, 2008
"Intellectual Freedom is the right of every individual to both seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction. It provides for free access to all expressions of ideas through which any and all sides of a question, cause or movement may be explored. Intellectual freedom encompasses the freedom to hold, receive and disseminate ideas." -- www.ala.org ( http://www.ala.org/ ) (Intellectual Freedom and Censorship Q & A)
Chabot Library will once again mark Banned Books week with a DISPLAY in the library of books that have been challenged over the years.
Stop by for a copy of the list: "The 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000"
"The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) received a total of 420 challenges last year. A challenge is defined as a formal, written complaint, filed with a library or school, requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness. Public libraries, schools and school libraries report the majority of challenges to OIF.
'The number of challenges reflects only incidents reported,' said Judith F. Krug, director of the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom."
