Hi Sue
Ooh, thanks for the book. Disregard my other messages then. I really think I will put
it on reserve in the college library for interested students. Our library is sorely
lacking in up-to-date material for students. Would you believe there is not one
journal
on drugs and alcohol, social problems, or criminal justice in a college library that
has
health-related majors and criminal justice (LE and corrections)? Luckily we have a new
librarian who is not thrilled about having subscriptions to Redbook, etc. in lieu of
academic material. The book selections are almost worse--I am thinking about
contacting
people and asking for donations of good academic material that is not too outdated.
I know we have internet access which does help students stay current, but I still think
we need books and journals in the library. Old-fashioned of me I guess. I am going
to
include membership in some associations that offer journals with their membership in my
department budget and after reading them will make them available to students. I am in
the process now of going through my bookshelves to try and find some books to donate to
our library. Oh well, I guess that goes with the territory when you make the decision
to
go to a community college and choose to leave the comfortable, tenured positions in
schools with graduate programs and privately endowed colleges. Perhaps, things will
get
better here now that all the public higher education institutions are now under one
umbrella.
