Service: CFCC's 2003-04 Learning Theme

The CFCC Library is an excellent source for information about service and volunteering. The purpose of this pathfinder is to provide a general overview of the variety of resources available to help you learn more about “Service: A Value of Community,” CFCC’s Learning Theme for 2003-2004. If you would like assistance in locating or using these resources, please ask a Reference Librarian for help. According to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, service can be defined as “an act of assistance or benefit to another or others” (1649)…with or “without expectation of reward” (2002).

PERIODICALS

Magazines are a major source of very recent information on a topic. The best way to find information in magazines is to use a magazine index, which will give you the exact location where an article can be found. Database indexes, which cover service, include FirstSearch (Humanities Abstracts, Social Science Abstracts and WilsonSelectPlus), Academic Search Premier, Issues and Controversies and Custom Newspapers.

The Library subscribes to over three hundred magazines, professional journals and newspapers. The following is a small, representative list of magazines and journals that may have articles on service. Check LINCCWeb and the red notebook, CFCC Periodical List, for more titles. Magazines are available in the Periodical Room on the 1st floor and are for use in the Library only. Copies may be made for 10 cents per page. Some electronic indexes on LINCCWeb are full-text and the articles may be printed out, also for 10 cents per page.
