MAY 2-8, 2018 UCW 21 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM As the heart and soul of the college, the Fayetteville Technical Community College Paul H. ompson Library and campus libraries are where students of different educational backgrounds reach their goals, working in partnership with expe- rienced librarians. ree locations support FTCC students with library services and dedicated library staff to answer questions: the Paul H. ompson Li- brary at the Fayetteville campus; the Spring Lake Campus Branch of the Cumberland County Public Library; and the John L. rockmorton Library on Fort Bragg. e libraries offer students access to thousands of print and electronic resources that are timely, relevant and reliable to assist with their educational success. Working together with faculty, librarians conduct library orientation classes to introduce students to library resources and develop search strategies to help them complete assignments us- ing the catalog and electronic databases. Tutorials are available on the library website to provide brief instruction on searching specific databases. Students may also take advantage of the book-a-li- brarian service to receive individualized instruction from librarians by appointment for up to 45 min- utes. Librarians are also available for unscheduled book-a-librarian sessions to answer more targeted questions that take a shorter time. Interlibrary loans extend a student's borrowing power to all member colleges of the North Carolina Community College System. High school students receiving college credit through the NC Career and College Promise dual-en- rollment program have access to all library resources to assist in their transition to college and ease the research challenges required of their college courses. At each location, students have access to a wide variety of spaces where they can study, conduct research, read or meet in small and large groups to collaborate on projects. Students have access to computers, printing, copying and faxing at all locations.
