For many, January is a time to mindfully start new habits, either just as a new year reset (hello, dry-anuary participants and all of you doing Whole 30 for your very last day today!) or as the start of a new, hopefully enduring habit. The library surveyed Durham Tech faculty and staff and asked them to anonymously share their goals for 2019. Have similar goals? Why not use the Read Great Things Challenge to help you reach those goals by reading a book to expand your knowledge, and also check
Have you heard of Open Educational Resources (OER)? Maybe you've heard they're "free textbooks." Maybe you've heard that replacing commercial textbooks with open textbooks improves students' success and retention rates. Maybe you've heard that instructors can edit OER, mix them together, or otherwise modify them to align with your learning outcomes. Maybe you know someone right here at Durham Tech who is already teaching using OER. Expanding OER adoption can be an important tool in furthering
Courtney talks with Larry Chapman about how to get free financial coaching at Durham Tech! The conversation covers who is eligible, what to bring, what you could ask, and favorite financial advice.

Visit www.annualcreditreport.com to get your free credit reports every year. Reach Larry Chapman at Chapmanl@durhamtech.edu, or on the Durham Tech website. Larry recently read
Mark your calendars! Beginning in mid-May 2025, we are transitioning from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes as our assessment tool in Canvas. What is New Quizzes? New Quizzes is a tool instructors can use to create and administer their online quizzes in Canvas. New Quizzes offers familiar question types, such as multiple-choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, matching, essay, and more, in addition to several new question type options. Much of what you can do with "Classic" Quizzes you will also be
It's Shark Week! Did you watch Shark Week on the Discovery Channel with family and friends in years past? I did! Millions of people tuned in every year to learn about these fearsome predators. And yet, many people are still very afraid of sharks, to the point that society has turned a blind eye to the fact that their populations are at risk. Even the writer of Jaws regrets convincing people they are scary, when really, they are one of the ocean's most amazing and important creatures. Want to
Have you signed up for Durham Tech's First Virtual Open House? The 3-hour event will take place on Wednesday, June 2 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm and will provide information on College Admission, Financial Aid, Career Services, Student Support Services, and various other areas of the college. Following the Open House, the College will have virtual booths open for additional questions and information for specific Durham Tech departments.

I think the real question is-- do we care if book clubs are cool? No. No, we do not care because we're beyond doing what other people think is "cool" and are more interested in doing things that bring us joy and help us explore ideas with openness and curiosity. Plus sometimes there be dragons. The Durham Tech Library is gathering data for faculty and staff reading groups. Take our survey and let us know what types of books and reading groups you'd be interested in joining and if you'd be
Fall 2024 was rough, y'all. The Library ran out of both loaner laptops and calculators within the first weeks of class and, we were operating on a waitlist for the whole 16 weeks. We hated it as much as you did. THANKFULLY, we're mostly great now and ready to check out Chromebooks and loaner calculators to those who need them thanks to our NC DIT Digital Champion Grant which will allow us to buy more and refresh our current circulating Chromebooks AND purchase additional TI-84 graphing
Try picking a book based on it's description! Below are a few descriptions of some of the library's new books. The descriptions are written a little like dating profiles (though you may never want to date these individuals!) with just a bit of information. See if any of these books interest you. The titles and call numbers are at the bottom of the entry, if you’re interested in reading them! I’m a poet at heart. Bilingual and bicultural, I straddle the world of modern America and the nostalgia
