Did You Know?  

Library instruction can significantly enhance your students' research skills and the quality of their course work. Even brief library instruction sessions can equip students with the skills and tools to go beyond their textbooks and explore a vast array of scholarly sources like academic journals, databases, and primary documents for richer discussions and research papers. Contact a South College librarian today to arrange library instruction tailored to your course needs.  

Resource Spotlight:  Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy

Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy is a series of video lessons created by Dr. Robert Acland that showcases real human dissections in their natural colors. The videos depict muscles, tendons, and joints in motion, providing a realistic view of human anatomy. This resource is particularly useful for students in health science programs because it allows them to see anatomy in a dynamic way, similar to how they will encounter it in a clinical setting. Compared to static images in textbooks, Acland's Video Atlas offers a more comprehensive understanding of how the body's structures move and function together. 

Fun Fact: 

The Library’s APA 7th Guide was viewed 3,691 times in May. Looks like students were busy crafting citations. That’s a lot of referencing!
