Shout Out! Halloween Party!

Shout Out! Halloween Party! 

CASA and the Writing Studio will host a Shout Out, on Thursday, October 31st, from 11 to 2, in CASA. 

What’s a Shout Out? It is a social event where writers get together and read their work. It is a supportive and positive environment where you can find out what other writers in our community are working on. Pieces need not be polished or finished – they do need to be shared and valued.


Please share a story, or academic piece, with our community! We will do readings on the hour (11, 12, and 1).

Library September Newsletter

Cover Story

E-books, E-resources, online bookstores, electronic resources, E-journals, electronic databases ----Eeeeeek. We keep hearing that everything is available “online” but what does that mean?
There are so many layers, so many formats, so many portals to these electronic resources that not even a professional librarian, or an extremely savvy computer geek can stay on top of this new “E” world of information and resources. With that said, we would like to encourage you to communicate with your library staff when you are unsure how to access something, or if you want to determine if a particular title or resource might be available online.
This newsletter has always been to showcase the print subscriptions YOUR college library has so you can determine whether or not you would like to come by and check out a magazine or journal. But, as some of you know, YOUR college library also subscribes to many online resources. This is not only key because you have 24/7 access from anywhere but also, because space for print materials is at a minimum at UNM-Taos. When you look at the campus space in square footage, UNM-Taos is one of the colleges in New Mexico with the least amount of space per fulltime equivalent (FTE) student than any other college in New Mexico.
As mentioned in the “Two Tips” on this page, there is no physical bookstore so all textbooks are ordered online. This can cause some issues with getting the item in a timely fashion, having a credit card to order electronically, having a proper address for delivery but on the other hand, it empowers us to choose where we want to order from, at what price, and in what format. Nowadays, you can even “rent” the online book for the semester rather than buying it.
Most of the research databases that provide electronic access to newspaper, magazine and journal articles as well as e-books are purchased with GO Bond money that you, the taxpayers, voted for. Because of that we want to be sure everyone is familiar with what is available and how to access it. We encourage you to go to the library website at and click on “Research Databases” on the menu and just play with what comes up to get familiar with it. There are layers of online materials at your fingertips.
