Join the TCC Library in celebrating Women's History Month this March!



Join the TCC Library in celebrating Women’s History Month this March.   A display at the Southeast Campus Library will highlight this year’s theme, “Weaving the Stories of Women’s Lives.”    
2015 marks the 35th anniversary of the Women’s History Movement and the National Women’s History Project, which has succeeded in bringing the impact of women’s lives and accomplishments into its rightful place, reflecting the influence of women on history, politics, science, society, and every other aspect of life.   What began as a grassroots organization in 1980 has grown exponentially into an influential national institution, dedicated to “writing women back into history.”  Young girls and women today can find a myriad of female role models across a highly diverse range of cultural, ethnic, occupational, racial, class, and regional backgrounds.  You can find a myriad of books about extraordinary women and their influence at your TCC Library.  Just a few of our new titles are featured below.  Stop by and check these out!

Honor Our Veterans on November 11th!




Happy Veterans Day
November 11th is a day to commemorate and honor the men and women who chose to serve in the military.

You might be surprised to know that TCC maintains a full-time office of Veteran Services at Metro Campus with additional special resource centers at each campus for academic use by veterans. 
 Check TCC’s page for Veterans and the Military for more information.

Also, West Campus Student Activities created this video "Celebrate and Honor all Veterans with TCC Employees". Watch it here!  http://www.tulsacc.edu/Vet . 

In honor of the veterans, the TCC Library has prepared a Veterans and Military Resources Guide with links to websites and local resources on U.S. military veterans throughout history.  It includes a brief list of TCC Library resources including books, videos and information databases (Ebscohost’s Military and Government Collection and Oxford Reference Online with topic pages on veterans and related issues).

Thank you to all the veterans and Happy Veterans Day!

See Research Day Workshop Videos!



On September 19th Tulsa Community College Honors Department hosted their second annual Research Day Seminar.  The two morning presentations tackle the six-step research process, research opportunities at TCC, tools used for research, and an introduction to copyright law and citation tools.  The afternoon sessions feature a panel of local experts discussing research in the field, and a student panel.  These videos are a great introduction into the professional world of research.
