Quotes from IVCC Faculty Members

"The Libguide webpage and website information was personal to our class and easy to follow. Most of my students have not spent much time at the Oglesby campus or Jacobs Library. While they did complete the online library tour which was well received, having Stephanie come over to their class made a positive impression and will be helpful in their transition to the main campus. The time and care that went into preparing a program for the OTTC students is very appreciated." - Kathryn Gibbs
