Spring A has started! We hope everyone is feeling comfortable as the new term begins.

 

Let’s go over a few things:

 

The Learning Commons consists of the Student Learning Center (SLC) and Library. We are here to provide academic support. This means we can help with coursework, understanding assignments, providing feedback on your work, navigating software, and more.  

 

 

We want to help you to learn more effectively! Here are some tools to assist you:

 

  1. Our library databases. These are all available through the portal, but you can get a glimpse at them here: https://rmcad.libguides.com/az/databases
    1. If you go to the portal and the links don’t work, check your popup blocker. You have to allow pop-ups. 99.99% of the time, that is the reason the databases don’t work. 
    2. The process for logging into EBSCOHost has changed. We've created a tip sheet to walk you through it.
  2. Our SLC scheduler: https://rmcad.mywconline.com/
    1. You need to make an account, this is not automatic. Use your RMCAD email address and make up a password of your choosing. 
    2. Once you have an account you can choose your topic and find the person who can help. We meet on Google Meet, Zoom, or in person.
  3. Our SLC Shared Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0AE5f5szuWpX6Uk9PVA
    1. This drive has all our tipsheets – we even have a spreadsheet with the tipsheets all linked!
  4. Our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RmcadSLC
    1. This channel has helpful videos of all kinds, including how to access library resources.
