HELLO EVERYONE!

It is the start of 2011 and you might not be planning on going out much for a while because you are still be recovering from the Holiday spending spree while you anxiously await your excess aid check or perhaps your income tax return. Tonight you should treat yourself, your family, and your friends to a Free movie night! Tonight at 6:30 pm in the UACCM Fine Arts Auditorium, we will be showing the hilarious animated hit ‘Despicable Me.’ It will be a great opportunity for people of every age to get out and have a good time without having to spend a ton of money on movie tickets. There is also a pre-showing of the movie today at 11:30 in Union Station for anyone who would like to see the movie but will not be able to make it tonight. If you want to complete your movie going experience with some popcorn and soda, there will also be concessions available tonight for a small charge. It is a great opportunity for you to show your family and friends the campus where you go to school! I’ll see you there!

Returning students do not have to complete a form each subsequent semester at UACCM.

The following Information will help you determine your username and password for logging onto computers on campus as well as your e-mail account:

New Additions to the Library

The E. Allen Gordon Library is pleased to announce two new additions to the research tools now available to UACCM students. Through our membership with ARKLink a nonprofit organization of 49 college and university libraries in Arkansas, we were able to purchase these two products:

• We were able to purchase 150 electronic book titles on very current topics and they are now available in our list of databases under Gale Virtual Reference Library. These are entire books that can be read as a whole are searched using subject or the table of contents or indexes of each book

• In addition, because of this, we will have access to the Gale Cengage database Academic OneFile for one year. This database is a premiere resource for peer-reviewed, full-text journals and reference resources. More than 14,000 titles from 9000 peer reviewed journals, full text of the New York Times from 1985 to present plus links to hundreds of medical videos from OR-Live are also included.

These sources are now available to our students 24-7 as a part of our online database collection. These titles along with user ID and password have been added to the list of our other databases. If you have questions about either of these products or other titles please feel free to ask one of the library employees. 

Hungry?

Did you get to campus early so you can get a good parking spot then realise you have a few extra minutes to spare and an empty stomach? Do you have a break between classes to go eat, but you don't want to have to wait in line at a restaurant? Perhaps you made a New Year resolution to eat healthier or less 'Fast Food'. Whatever your story, the short version is that you are on the UACCM campus and you are hungry. Good news! The UACCM Plaza is an excellent to grab a quick sandwich or to sit down and have a delicious home made lunch! The Plaza is under new management starting this semester and some of the new meals that will be served this semester look pretty amazing! Here is a list of the menu for the rest of this week!
