Sacramento City College

The New Literacies Alliance has created information literacy tutorials mapped to the ACRL Framework. Tutorials Sacramento City College started the Fall semester with several new faces. Rebecca Goodchild is our new Public Services Librarian, focusing on Collections and Assessment. Rebecca holds a Masters of Library & Information Studies from San Jose State University and a BA in Psychology from CSU, Sacramento, with additional Associates degrees in Engineering, Math, and General Science.  SCC also has welcomed three new Library Technicians: Carly Brotherton (who serves as the Lead LT), Baleria Flores, and Elizabeth Shutak. Baleria and Elizabeth are both graduates of SCC’s Library and Information Technology Program.

Cathy Chenu-Campbell, who has served as SCC’s Technical Services Librarian for over 30 years, will retire in May 2018. Cathy oversaw library automation in the 1980s, led a number of system migrations, taught in the Library and Information Technology program, took leadership roles in the college’s accreditation process, served on multiple visiting accreditation teams elsewhere, and has generally held the library together for the last few decades.

SCC has been offering special face-to-face sections of its one-unit Information Literacy course directed at new programs, Students in a Global Economy (SAGE) and the STEM Equity & Success Initiative (SESI), both of which have emerged as part of SCC’s designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution.

We are also collaborating with the other Los Rios District Libraries on a set of information literacy tutorials to be housed in Canvas and on a migration from the Innovative/Sierra WAM proxy to EZproxy.
