The library is one of the most vital resources a student has at LBCC; like any school. It provides key materials and help for students whenever they might need them.
One of the men in charge, Brian Yagashima, helps students whenever he can with "research assistance; technology assistance, training; and some curriculum development." "They come to me asking for help," says Yagashima. "Asking lots of questions and doing lots of listening is no problem."
Yagashima also gets a kick out of helping people. "I started as a teacher, so I enjoy seeing them develop seeking a different venue." He says, "Just ask anytime you want to get involved."
The library is also going to be going many places in the coming school year. Yagashima points out that one of the main priorities is "Helping faculty advance, this coming school year has several main priorities; such as open educational resources (OERS)."
Other librarians on campus share Yagashima's desire to help those in need; such as Laura N. and Alf Price. Laura is a reference librarian that helps with research; and Alf works at the student help desk with email access and tech problems. Laura can help find information related to their topic; and Alf can help with forgotten passwords and login trouble. "It feels good to make sure people are connected to the things they need," says Laura. "I enjoy making sure people fulfill their dreams and desires," says Alf.
Laura says "libraries will continue to serve very well;" while Alf points out they will be "making great strides technologically in the next year."
With all this on the table; the library is easily a place you can count on when you're in a need for some help and resources. All you need to do is ask; and anyone can come in at any time. The door is always open, much like a good book. They're just waiting for you to turn the page.
