Book Request:
Reserve Textbooks
• Fundamentals of Litigation for Paralegals (PLA 2203)
• PLA 1610
• PLA 2600
To whom it may concern: These Books were available in the school Library. I am a financially limited student and can’t afford to buy books unless at a hefty discount so it is invaluable that this resources available. My only complaint is that the book for CGS 1000 wasn’t available in the Library or ARC Building. It is a very expensive book (in my opinion overpriced) for a basic class required for my degree and I hope it’s made available for students to come. I cannot underscore enough the need that exists for students like myself that each department supply the student body. This resource by contributing at least one copy of each textbook to the student Library!”

Thank you for your comment. We will continue to work with all departments to obtain textbook copies.

Comment: “ You should have a library card for users who don’t have a student ID to print. We can pay for the prints!”

If you are a member of the community and wish to check out books, bring in your public library card [various Florida counties apply] and we can sign you up as a community member.


We are in the process of getting ‘community print cards’. They will be available soon.

Book Request: The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee by ~ Sarah Silverman

Suggestion forwarded to Collection Development.

Comment: “The Library should stay open on weekends. It’s hard for many students to get here due to classes, work, family and other responsibilities. We often depend on the weekend for time to do homework (which often includes research). Also, I am a film student and I often need to access the editing rooms upstairs during the weekend, but can’t because the Library is CLOSED!”

Thank you for your suggestion. We will pass along your comment.

Comment: “Open Library weekends. Work all week; school @ night; need Library open weekends.
This is a STATE university now! Library should be available and community libraries are open less and less.”

Comment:

1) Upon entrance to the Library, the rug where the previous metal detectors are, gets in my way.-Suggest moving the rug back before the metal,…

2) The metal detectors seem a bit off-centered an narrow (to the far end from entrance).-Suggest Adjust the length of spacing of the gates to allow room for easier passage.

3) The yellow cords & cables on the ground next to the metal detectors look sloppy and may pose a threat to safety or health.-Suggest Nail it to rug stretched out or top it along walls/borders stretched out. Slack should also be coiled & banded.

1) College Facilities is in the process of assessing tripping hazards with the new security system. Adjustments will be made.


2) The new security system was placed in its current location based upon installation specifics and has been bolted to the floor. We are unable to widen or center it. It is ADA compliant and wide enough for wheelchair access.


3) College Facilities is in the process of improving the area around the new security system.
