Library Services Awarded Muslem Journeys Bookshelf Collection

ACC Library Services awarded Muslim Journeys Bookshelf collection from NEH, ALA

ACC Library Services is excited to announce that it has been chosen as one of the 843 libraries and state humanities councils across the country to receive the grant, Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA). The program aims to familiarize audiences in the United States with the people, places, history, faith, and cultures of Muslims in the United States and around the world.

The Muslim Journeys Bookshelf includes 25 books and 3 films that have been added to ACC’s collection. To view the complete list of titles, please take a look at the Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys Guide for more information. In addition to books and videos, ACC Library Services has also received a 1 year subscription to Oxford Islamic Studies Online. Oxford Islamic Studies Online features reference content and commentary by renowned scholars in a variety of areas including global Islamic history, concepts, people, practices, politics, and culture.

The Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys is a project of the National Endowment for the Humanities, conducted in cooperation with the American Library Association. Support was provided by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York. Additional support for the arts and media components was provided by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art. ACC’s collection will move among campuses to maximize use and awareness. The project is managed by Professor Teresa Ashley, Northridge Library Services.

Computer Sign-In Pilot at ACC Libraries

Starting March 2013,  Library Services began implementing a pilot to provide more equitable access to library computers by having library patrons use a log on.  You may need your ACCeID and password to log into a computer in the Library or Computer Center. See more information and help.

The Riverside Campus Library is spear-heading the pilot which requires ACC students and employees to log on with their ACCeID and password just as all students and faculty do in Blackboard. Other campus libraries will gradually implement sign in during Spring 2013. All ACC campus libraries will have sign in by the end of May 2013.

Note: Log on is also required by any visitors to the library. The visitors must sign in at the reference desk and have the reference librarians assist them with logging on to the library computers designated for visitors. Be aware that students are given priority on any library computer not being used at the moment.
