Introducing OneSearch

In January 2020, the BC Library will be moving to a new library services platforms. Our

new platform is called OneSearch and has a multitude of new functionalities. The new

OneSeach will replace the library catalog, but will also allow for searching all the

full text resources the library has access to – books, ebooks, articles – in one

search. The results can be limited using facets on the side of the screen.

OneSearch also allows for single sign-on so that if someone off campus is logged into

OneSearch and follows a link to an ebook or article, they don’t need to enter their user

credentials again. Access to content from off campus will now require email address

and password, rather than just ID number.

OneSearch is cloud-based, meaning that our entire library services platform, including

cataloging, circulation, and acquisitions, will now be cloud-based. This allows for faster

updating abilities.

To learn more about OneSearch, come to the library’s Spring Flex workshop. More

information about this workshop can be found on the 3rd page of this newsletter.

November/December 2019

Library Research Skills Workshops

The library’s 10 weeks of library workshops are drawing to a close. Including this

week, the library has 2 weeks of research skills workshops remaining this semester!

All of the main campus library workshops are now full. We encourage

students to check back daily to see if spots reopen in the workshops, as students

who decide not to attend a workshop can unregister and a spot will open back up for

the taking.

In addition to the workshops at our Panorama campus library, the Delano campus

library is also offering 15 more workshops over the next 2 weeks. None of

these workshops have filled yet, so we recommend that students who have not been

able to attend a main campus workshop take advantage of the Delano workshops.

We know that many professors require students to attend these workshops, so

please remind your students that there are limited options remaining to them at this

point in the semester. Students may register for workshops online on the Library

website via the Workshops & Tutorials webpage. The link to sign up is

https://www.bakersfieldcollege.edu/library/workshops

Finally, we do offer online workshops via Canvas module as an option for our

students. Faculty can add these modules to their own Canvas courses via Canvas

Commons. These modules consist of a page of instruction for the students to read

as well as a 5 question quiz. Unlike our face-to-face workshops, these cannot count

as a non-credit course and will not show up on students’ transcripts.

For questions about the face to face or online workshops, please contact the

Reference Desk at 661.395.4466, or chat us via the chat option on the library

website.

“What’s New in the Library – OneSearch, GVRL, and Media Literacy”: Spring Flex Workshop

We’ve had several recent changes and updates here at the library! To keep faculty up

to date, we are hosting a Spring Flex workshop that covers these new changes. We

will cover the new library services platform, OneSearch, as well as our new online

encyclopedia database, GVRL. Finally, we will discuss the new library research skills

workshop we’re unveiling this Spring, which teaches students about Media Literacy.

Keep your eyes peeled for this workshop on the Spring Flex schedule.

APA, 7th Edition

The APA has released a new edition of their style guide. The library will publish an

updated version of our APA style guide for students in Spring 2020.

Cerro Author Erin Gruwell

Erin Gruwell’s visit to BC as our Cerro Author 2019-2020 was a resounding success.

Her two student lectures were initially scheduled to be in the Levan Center, but due to

overwhelming interest from our dual enrollment English students, we moved the

student lectures to the Indoor Theatre. The morning lecture had about 325 attendees

and the afternoon lecture had about 275 attendees, with the evening session clocking

in at about 100 attendees, for a grand total estimate of

700 people in attendance during her visit.

Students in attendance were enraptured by Gruwell’s

lectures. She was an engaging presence on stage, and

many students were moved to both laughter and tears

during the course of her talks. The library raffled off

several dozen of Gruwell’s book The Freedom Writers’

Diaries during the student lectures, much to the delight

of the students in attendance.
