Greetings from MCC Hodel Library


Greetings from the Hodel Library on the Lake Havasu Campus of Mohave Community College!  The weather is beginning to turn warm and lovely, so it’s a perfect time to take your reading outside. 

Come to the Library and check out a Danielle Steel or a Jonathan Kellerman to read on the patio.  If you are getting ready to head north, remember that you can still use the Library’s online databases from wherever you are. 

Through our website, Mohave.edu/library , you have access to fantastic databases such as Heritage Quest, Consumer Health Complete, the Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center and more.  You can also use our databases to look at articles from journals such as Consumer Reports, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, PC World, U.S. News and World Reports, etc. 

The best part – it’s all FREE!  Please give us a call at 928-505-3311 to ask for more information or you can email me at wbirkhead@mohave.edu
Thanks,

We can show you how to look at Consumer Reports on your computer.  We can show you a wonderful database called NoveList where you can read book reviews, get ideas for books you might enjoy based on the authors you like, and look at book club discussion ideas. Newspapers, magazines and “how-to” resources are available 24/7.  The best part?  It’s all free!

Greetings from the MCC Hodel Libary


Hi All! My name is Wendi Birkhead and I am the Campus Librarian of the Hodel Library on the Lake Havasu Campus of Mohave Community College. I want to invite you to visit us and find out about all the wonderful books, DVDs, audiobooks, and electronic materials we have to offer. 

Many people don’t realize that we are open to everyone – students and non-students, alike – and anyone can get a library card for free. Let me fill you in on some great things that we are presenting in January and February: 
  • On Friday, January 25th , the campus will have Marshall Shore (“Arizona’s Hip Historian”) presenting “A Historical Trip Down Route 66.” John Steinbeck called Route 66 the “mother road” and that name endures today. Arizona has the longest stretch of Route 66 that is still in use. This iconic route is a timeline dotted with towns rich with history and tradition. Come learn about Arizona’s Route 66 and discuss its role in John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. This free presentation will be held in Building 600 at 4:00 pm. 

  • We will have a book discussion of The Grapes of Wrath in our campus Library on Wednesday, February 13th at 2:00 pm. Come by the Library for a free copy of the book. 

  • I will present a series of classes during Spring Frenzy that will show you some tricks and tips of using the Library’s free online databases. Learn how to access magazines like Consumer Reports, Kiplinger’s, PC World, and more (for free!). 

Please give us a call at 928-453-5809 to ask for more information. You can also come by and visit with us in person at Mohave Community College, 1977 Acoma Blvd. West (we’re located toward the back of the campus, not far from the 500 Computer Building).

We look forward to talking with you.

Windows Explorer-The computers filing cabinet

Windows Explorer is an application software program available in all Windows Operating Systems that allows you to find anything on your computer.

To me, Windows Explorer is like looking at various file cabinets and what's in those file cabinet drawers to find everything I've saved on my computer.. It allows us to to easily copy documents, photos, music, videos from one folder to another or to back up my folders onto a flash drive or portable hard drive..

Windows Explorer is typically listed in the Program list under Accessories, but for the easiest access no matter what program you are in, just use your keyboard shortcut:
Windows Flag Key + E .

When you use Windows Explorer, you can see all the documents stored on your computer (or your network), which makes it easy to select documents, folders, travel drives, digital cameras portable hard drives to work with them.

Windows Explorer uses the same “folder system” you would in a “filing cabinet”. Folders and sub-folders are "containers" to store documents (files). The folders that Windows creates for you are named My Documents, My Music, My Pictures & My Videos. They get their names from the fact that you use them as follows:

My Documents: Use this folder to store other types of documents you save, such as typed text or spreadsheets



  • My Music: Use this folder to store music you copy to your computers

  • My Pictures: Use this folder to store pictures, such as those you get from a camera or scanner, or from the Internet

  • My Videos: Use this folder to store videos, such as those you get from a video camera, emails or from the Internet

In Windows XP and older operating systems you will see that you must open the My Documents drawer to see the other master folders, such as My Music, My Pictures, My Scans, My Videos...

In Windows Vista and Windows 7 Operating Systems, the Master folder is called a Library and in that you will find each of the individual master folders, including My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, My Scans, My Videos..

For those of you using MAC’s – you now have Macintosh Explorer – check it out at www.ragesw.com/products/explorer.html

Hello from the Mohave Community College Library

Hi All! I wanted to remind everyone that even though you may not be here on the Lake Havasu campus, or even in Arizona, you can still access the Library’s online databases from your home computer.

If you don’t have a library card, to sign up for one by visiting Mohave.edu/library. Click on the link on the right for “Online Library Card Application.” It asks you for your basic information (and, remember, you do not need to be an Arizona resident to sign up). If you do not have a student ID, leave that field blank. Once you submit your information, the computer will issue you an electronic library card number – write it down so you can use it whenever you need.

With a library card number, you can access almost all of our online databases such as Heritage Quest, Consumer Health Complete, and more.

If you have any questions, you can call us at 928-453-5809 to ask for more information. You can also come on by and visit with us in person at Mohave Community College 1977 Acoma Blvd. West (we’re located toward the back of the campus, not far from the 500 Building).

Greetings from MCC Hodel Library

Hello again from Hodel Library at MCC Lake Havasu Campus!

We were happy to have so many folks from Spring Frenzy come over to sign-up for free library cards and we’re looking forward to meeting more of you. We can show you how to look at Consumer Reports on your computer. We have access to a wonderful database called NoveList where you can read book reviews, get ideas for books you might enjoy based on the authors you like, and look at book club discussion ideas. Currently, we also have access to a trial version of A to Z World Travel which is an in-depth and easy to use database about things you should know before you vacation in different countries.

The best part? It’s all free! For more information, call or email us at the Library..
Thanks, Wendi Birkhead, Campus Librarian

Enjoy the Library at MCC

Hello everyone and greetings from the Hodel Library at Mohave Community College-Lake Hsavasu City Campus..

I would like to invite anyone who is interested to visit the Library for a one-on-one demonstration of the online databases, so:
  • If you are hunting down branches of your family tree, we can show you how to access Ancestry.com or Heritage Quest.
  • If you are a quilter or collector, you might enjoy reading articles from the Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center.
  • If you have a question about a medical issue, you can get up-to-date information (and sometimes videos) with Consumer Health Complete.
  • If you need to use a computer - we have a complete computer lab with printers for your use (an no time limits)

Just ask for Wendi or Mary Jo at 928-453-5809 or 928-453-5809. Or, you can come on by and visit with us in person at Mohave Community College 1977 Acoma Blvd. West (we’re located toward the back of the campus, not far from the 500 Computer Class Building).

Everyone is invited to visit the MCC Library

Hi All! My name is Wendi Birkhead and I am the campus librarian of the Hodel Library on the Lake Havasu Campus of Mohave Community College. I want to invite you to visit us and find out about all the wonderful books, DVDs, audiobooks, and electronic materials we have to offer.

Many people don’t realize that we are open to everyone – students and non-students, alike – and anyone can get a library card for free.

We carry bestsellers, fiction and nonfiction. Through the computers in our library or when you access our website:
www.Mohave.edu/library (listed on this blogs list of favorite websites), you have access to fantastic databases such as Ancestry.com, Heritage Quest, Consumer Health Complete, the Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center and more.

We have plenty of computers for your use and we don't have a time limit on how long you can use them. You also can use our databases to look at articles from journals such as Consumer Reports, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, PC World, U.S. News and World Reports, etc.

Please give us a call at 928-453-5809 to ask for more information. You can also come on by and visit with us in person at Mohave Community College 1977 Acoma Blvd. West. We are located toward the back of the MCC campus, just behind the 500 Building, where the Computer Classes are held.

Let us know how we can help and we look forward to meeting you.
