Library Instruction/Orientation
Library Instruction is provided for all classes at the instructor’s request. Instructors may request a librarian to teach a library session tailored to your course. Sessions are taught either in the library, classrooms, in the computer lab, or thru Zoom; depending on the type of instruction requested. The orientation explains the effective use of library resources and services. These sessions may cover use of the online catalog, internet resources, search strategies and/or evaluation of resources, Library of Congress classification system, and introduce key concepts in a particular subject area. The sessions are designed to promote information literacy as an integrated part of the library experience. Class visits may be arranged at the faculty’s request by contacting a library staff member with the following information: course name, number, what do you want students to be able to do and/or know at the end of the orientation, preferred date(s), time(s), and the number of students in the class. Library Instructions can be done at any campus with at least a seven day notice.
Videos and PowerPoint
presentations have been created over the online catalog and databases for off campus and online student convenience. PowerPoint presentations are located on the Library’s webpage. Other HLC librarians can assistant students on a one-on-one basis in the library. 

Developing Effective Assignments
Librarians are available to work with faculty to create effective assignments that make the best use of the library’s resources and emphasize course content. The assignments foster critical thinking, evaluation skills, and promote lifelong learning. Faculty are encouraged to notify library of units they are considering so library staff can prepare displays, exhibits, programming and resources that will support the assignment.

Class Handouts & Web Guides
As part of the Library Instruction sessions and classroom presentations, faculty may request librarians to create printed guides for their classes outlining useful resources and research methods. Faculty will need to give notice of when the handouts are needed, for it may take time to put the information together. Subject Research Guides may include information such as:

  • Library of Congress Call Number by subject
  • Directories, indexes, almanacs, dictionaries, encyclopedias, Internet sites
  • A list of History titles
  • A list of career websites, etc.

Faculty Reserve
All faculty reserves are kept at the Circulation Desk or on display in the library. Depending on faculty instructions, some reserve materials must be used in the library, while others may be checked out. The instructor has set loan periods, and approval from the instructor is needed to extend the loan period or check out reserve material. Faculty may request library staff to put materials they expect to be in high demand or that require special security in the library’s reserve collection. Examples of what may be placed on Reserve include: course readings, library and personal copies of books, articles, pamphlets, class assignments and lecture notes. Faculty may designate shorter loan periods for high demand materials, such as two hour or one day. The Reserve collection is shelved behind the Circulation Desk. To place a library item(s) on reserve, bring them to the circulation desk and fill out the reserve form. Reserves are accepted throughout the semester and must be removed or evaluated for continuation at the end of the spring semester.

HLC (Harrington Library Consortium)
HLC is a computerized cooperative library network established to meet the informational and research needs of library users. It consists of over 100 public, academic, and school libraries providing a collection of over 3 million items. To check out materials from any of the libraries, users must have a valid HLC library card and be in good standing with the HLC libraries. It is the responsibility of the borrower to satisfy any financial obligation incurred at the lending library. Clarendon College will place a hold on a patron’s record until the fine is cleared and/or materials returned to the lending libraries. We cannot accept money for payment of fines that are due at another library, and we cannot accept materials that belong to another library; they must be returned to the appropriate library.

 Affiliation Agreements
Affiliation agreements with other libraries and agencies are used to enhance the resources and services available to Clarendon College students and faculty. These agreements are not used by the library to avoid responsibility for providing adequate and readily accessible library resources and services. Formal agreements are formalized and annually evaluated by the library director.

Inter-library Loan (ILL)
Materials not available in the Clarendon College Library or home public library may be requested through Inter-library Loan by contacting the Clarendon College Library or filling out a request form on the Clarendon College Library’s website. 
The requesting library patron must have a library card that is in good standing. This service generally takes 2-8 weeks and delivery by the date requested is not guaranteed due to the lending library’s ability to fill the request. Books and other material, depending on the library, may be requested from other libraries and mailed to the main campus at no charge. Requesting ILL material at a local library may have a shipping fee with this service, depending on the Library. To ensure proper check-in and return of material to the lending library, return all inter-library materials to the Library staff.

Inter-campus Loan Service
Off-campus library users are encouraged to check out materials from the college library. Students can request, via email or online form, a book from the Clarendon College Library with their register student ID/library card. Once the request is received the item will be mailed to the Pampa Center’s main office or LRC for student pick up. Students must show their student ID when picking up the item. Items will be checked out to the student for three weeks, two weeks checkout time and one week for shipping. Students may call (806)874-4815 or email:
pamela.reed@clarendoncollege.edu to renew their item for another two weeks. When ready to return the item, just drop it off at the main office or LRC. Please return books to an actual CC staff member, not on someone’s desk. Students will be responsible for any late fees on the item checked out to them.  Items not returned or fees not paid will cause a hold to be placed on the student’s record at the end of the semester.

TexShare Library Card
Clarendon College, along with other academic and public libraries in Texas, participate in a state funded program established to allow participants to share resources. TexShare libraries have agreed to extend free reciprocal borrowing privileges to each other’s patrons in an effort to provide direct access to materials that are not available at the home library. Each library has specific rules and regulations that apply to borrowed materials. Please check the lending policy of the library you are going to before attempting to borrow materials.
For a list of participating members and their library policies visit the TexShare webpage.

Free Database Trials
From time to time the library implores input from students and faculty regarding their opinion of databases the library is considering for purchase. The library will notify all Clarendon College students and faculty that the free trial is available via the college e-mail or flyers. Users will have an opportunity to let the librarians know what they think about the database.

Learning Resource Center (LRC) Computer Reserves
Computers can be scheduled by students, faculty, and staff for group projects. Computer reservations are made for groups only, not individuals. Reservations are scheduled with the Library Director or LRC Coordinator and noted on daily stat sheets. After a reservation has been scheduled, a reservation slip will be placed on the computers by staff 30 minutes before they are needed. Please have students check with staff when they come in to the reserved computers. Reservation for a group is nullified if the group has not shown up after 15 minutes of the scheduled time.

Photocopying
Faculty receives a copy code issued by the business office to be used on the copiers located in the faculty mail-room or in the library.

TEACH Act
The Technology Education and Copyright Harmonization Act - (TEACH Act) was signed into law by President Bush on November 2, 2002. The Act redefines the terms and conditions on which accredited, nonprofit educational institutions throughout the U.S. may use copyright protected materials in distance education – including websites and other digital means without permission from the copyright owner and without payments of royalties. The new opportunities are subject to new limits and conditions. 

Copyright Notice
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or reproductions of copyrighted material. All library users are expected to obey the copyright law in their use of print, audiovisual, and microcomputer software. Illegal copies of copyrighted material may not be made or used on equipment owned by the college.

Fair Use for Faculty
The issue of just what is fair Use of copyright protected materials comes up often in education circles. The key for faculty is to apply the four-factor test set forth in the copyright law:

  1. The purpose and character of the use - Make sure that the use is for education in a non-profit educational setting. The use also has to be germane to the instruction of the topic. In other words, don't show a movie just for entertainment or as a “reward”.
  2. The nature of the copyrighted work - Make sure that you legally obtain the copy. Even if it’s used for educational purposes, a bootleg copy of a video is still illegal. When possible use factual works but when necessary, dramatic works can be used to illustrate a point or as a basis for criticism or commentary. You may also use excerpts from periodicals but make sure that that a copyright notice appears on each copy. It's probably a good idea to follow the copyright print guidelines. The amount and value of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole - Unless you're teaching a course on a specific author, it's not a good idea to use too many items from one author. Also, according to the guidelines, you need to either obtain permission or use another author after two years.
  3. The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work – One of the key components of the copyright centers is the effect of use on the marketability of the work. Does your use dilute the market or potential sales of the copyright holder? If it does then you're probably infringing on the copyright holders' rights. Limit your use of copyright protected works to those in your classes and the immediate educational community. One way to determine if you are infringing on copyright work is to ask, could anyone off the street just walk in here and use this material? If they can then you are probably in infringement. Finally, use of copyright-protected material should not be a substitute for students purchasing textbooks or other books readily available in the market place.

Licensing
It's important to remember that any license you enter into with a publisher overrules basic copyright provisions. For example, under copyright law it is illegal to copy from tests or other “consumables”. However, a textbook publisher will often grant permission to copy tests from test banks if you have adopted the textbook. Likewise, almost all computer software comes with separate licensing agreements that put limits on uses that might have been acceptable under the Fair Use clause.

Permission
Finally, remember you can ask for (and often obtain) permission to use copyright-protected materials for your courses. It is import to first identify what material you wish to use, how much and why. Then contact the publisher and request permission for that specified use. Often this will result in no reply. Don't give up. The Copyright Clearance Center provides a service of researching and requesting permission from copyright holders. There is often a fee that accompanies the granting of permission.

Multimedia Area
The library has an area where students can watch videos or DVDs. These areas are equipped with either a TV/VCR combinations, DVD, and CD played.  Library policies about food, drinks, and cell phones also apply to multimedia areas.

Group Study Areas
Group study areas are available for group studying. Areas are used on a first come first served basis; however a 2 hour limit may be imposed as needed. Library policies about food, drinks, and cell phones also apply to the study areas.

Equipment/Media Services

document camera, and the capability to play a DVD or CD. The library has the following audiovisual equipment available for student use: TV, VCR player, DVD player, CD player, tablets, scanner, typewriter and more.

It is the mission of the Library to purchase materials that support the college curriculum. 

Collection Development Criteria Selection Guidelines:

  • Relevance to the curriculum

History Clarendon College is the oldest institution of higher education in the Texas Panhandle, having been established in 1898 by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The College was successfully administered by the church through the first quarter of the 20th Century. The original college was moved to Abilene and became McMurry University. The Clarendon Independent School Board purchased the college property and Clarendon College was re-established in 1927 as a non-sectarian junior college. It is maintained, in part, by property taxes in the Clarendon College District (Donley County). The College was recognized by the Texas Education Agency and the Association of Texas Colleges and Universities in 1927. The College separated from the school district and moved to its present location in 1968. Clarendon College now operates from a beautiful 107-acre campus on the west edge of Clarendon. Eight counties comprise the College's service area. Clarendon College is one of the 50 state-assisted community colleges in the Texas system. Accreditation Clarendon College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award Associate Degrees. Questions about the accreditation of Clarendon College may be directed in writing to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097, by calling (404) 679-4500, or by using information available on SACSCOC’s website (www.sacscoc.org).

You website can be a powerful tool for your business. However, if your potential customers cannot find it or cannot find the information they are looking for on it, they will likely return to Google and find another site that provides what they are looking for. We offer you the tools to take control of your website's content. Ensure your placement in Google's ranking and increase your leads and conversions by keeping your content up to date and relevant with runCMS. runCMS does not rely on third party plugins that are prone to breakage. Instead, it is actively developed, hosted, and supported by the friendly and experienced staff at Run Business Solutions. That means that you don't need to worry about dealing with hard-to-reach, unreliable web hosting companies. runCMS is powerful and easy to use. We would love to show you how it works. Powerful Tools RunIT CMS gives users powerful and easy to use tools to make managing website content easy. These tools are managed independently and the pages update automatically. This reduces (if not eliminates) the need to use third-party tools to accomplish goals. However, RunIT CMS allows for complete integration with custom CSS and JavaScript. Galleries A Gallery is a collection of images. RunIT CMS gives users the ability to create multiple Galleries. Users can upload and re-size image and add them to a Gallery. Images can be re-ordered, deactivated and given a hyperlink. ALT tags are fully accessible. Galleries can be added to pages as thumbnails, slideshows, or thumbnail slideshows. The slideshow is powered by the Nivo Slider by Dev7studios. Libraries A Library is a collection of Resources. A Resource is a file with a Title and Description. A Library could be seen as a collection of files made available on a website with a title and description. Library Resources can have an expiration date added which will cause them to no longer appear on the website when the expiration date passes. Libraries can be added to pages as simple lists of Titles that are download links or as tables with the Title, Description, File Name, and a Download button. Library downloads are tracked and are reported in the Analytics Dashboard. Blogs Blogs are a great way for users to publish fresh content to the world. RunIT CMS includes a Blog tool with Categories. Blog Posts can have a cover photo, can be deactivated, and are edited with the Custom Content Editor. Blog Posts have an optional expiration date. All non-expired, active Blog Posts are added to the site's automatically generated sitemap.xml file and the site's RSS feed. Blog Posts can integrate with Calendar events, allowing users to create a blog post and a Calendar Event at the same time. Calendars No full-featured CMS is complete without a calendar. The RunIT CMS Calendar tool allows users to create multiple calendars, each having a name and a custom color. Events can easily be added to a Calendar. Events have a Title, Description, Start Date/Time, End Date/Time, option for All Day Event, Reminder Date/Time, and RSVP Required. The Calendar displays on the page as either a calendar or a list of events, each being hyperlinks that open details about the event. If RSVP Required is selected, the event details will allow users to RSVP. RunIT CMS Custom Content Editors are present throughout the system. They are WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors that allow for content to be added and formatted in a Microsoft Word like manner. Our editor is one of the best on the market. RunIT CMS Custom Content Editor Toolbox The Custom Content Editors include a wide array of features for formatting text, pasting from Word, and pasting as HTML. Users can apply a CSS class from the site.css file to images and text. There is a full multi-level undo/redo mechanism with action trails like Microsoft Word. The editor includes a spell checker, find and replace tool, and a table builder. The editor also includes a powerful hyperlink manager, image manager, and document manager. The image manager allows users to edit images. The RunIT CMS Custom Content Editor produces clean, semantic HTML markup that users can view or edit with the click of a button. This allows for advanced users to embed videos, add custom scripts or styles, and generally take total control of how the HTML is going to look. Content Blocks There is no reason to repeat the same action (such as copying and pasting) to update multiple pages. No one enjoys manually updating each page of a website in order to update a hyperlink or an image. It is our goal to eliminate duplicate work when it comes to editing web content. That's what Content Blocks are all about. A content block is a piece of formatted content that can be added to pages and updated in one place. Content Blocks are edited with the Custom Content Editors, giving users complete control over the formatting (and advanced users control over the actual HTML). An example of a use case for a Content Block is a navigation sub-menu that exists in a subset of pages. Another example is a YouTube video that needs to be displayed on many pages and is subject to change. Site Layout Users have complete control over the way their websites look. Everything contained in the tag is editable using a Custom Content Editor. The system includes several macros for the purpose of adding the site navigation and page content in any place desired. There are also macros to get the site root, the current date/time, and to add CMS tools to the layout.know your purpose.
