Library Services Provided

Library Purpose
The purpose of the Clarendon College Library/LRC is to support the college curriculum and provide library services and resources to all Clarendon College students and faculty regardless of location. 

Library Mission
The mission of the Clarendon College Vera Dial Dickey Library is to provide resources and services to support the academic curriculum and to assist all library users in the development of lifelong learning and information literacy skills. The library staff focuses on meeting the users’ needs, providing learning opportunities, fostering relationships, supporting academic disciplines, and participating in the teaching process by assisting in information access and library instruction.

Library Card
Students are encouraged to register their Clarendon College Library Card. All Clarendon College students receive a library card as part of their tuition; the library card is part of the student ID card. It just takes a few minutes to add your library card’s number in the library’s computer. Clarendon College library cards are accepted at all participating Harrington Library Consortium (HLC) libraries, and must be presented at time of checkout.

Loan Periods
Books are checked out for two weeks. Toward the end of the semester the checkout period will be shorter to allow books to be returned by the end of the semester.  Reserve materials are checked out for two hours but cannot leave the library. The loan period for Inter-library Loan materials are set by the lending library; it is generally two weeks. Videocassettes and DVDs are checked out for three days, compact discs and magazines are for one week. Reference materials do not checkout; they are in-library use only.

Renewals
Renewals are available upon request. Books may be renewed in person, by email, or telephone by calling (806) 874-4815 or (800) 687-9737 ext. 118.  

Library Instruction/Orientations
Library Instruction/Orientation are available for new and returning students and faculty. Orientations consist of a general introduction to using the Library. In a hands-on setting, participants will learn about the wide variety of resources available on-line and have time to experiment with some of them, including the Online Catalog and selected databases. Our goal is for the library user to develop the ability to locate, evaluate and integrate information from all of the resources in the collection. Library staff is sensitive to the diverse learning styles and delivers customized instructional orientations, thus providing a life-long opportunity for users by allowing them to be self-directed and self-sufficient.
Please check with the staff for an available time. PowerPoint presentations over databases and online catalog can be found on the library’s webpage.

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 Clarendon Public Library may be requested through Inter-library Loan by contacting the Clarendon College Library or filling out a request form on the 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. The ILL service is free to students requesting ILL from the Clarendon College Library. There is a $3.00 shipping fee for non Clarendon College students. Students requesting from another HLC library will have to go by that library’s policies, which may include a shipping fee for their ILL services. To ensure proper check-in and return of material to the lending library, return all inter-library materials to the Library staff. In order to prevent a late fee from the lending library, contact Clarendon College library at least four days before the due date.  Lending library may or may not approve renewal if material is late.

Inter-campus Library Loan Service (ICLL)
This service is currently for the Pampa Campus students only. Off-campus library users are encouraged to checkout materials form the college library. Students can request books online with their registered student ID/library card.  Students can register their library cards at the main office in Pampa or the Clarendon College Library in Clarendon. Once the request is received the item will be mailed to the Pampa Center’s main Office for student pick up. Students must show their student ID when picking up the item. Items will be checked out to the students to the student for two weeks. Students may call 806-(806) 874-4815 or email pamela.reed@clarendoncollege.edu to renew their items for another two weeks. When ready to return the item, just drop it off at the Pampa Center’s main office. 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 let the librarians know what they think about the database.

Newsletters
An electronic memo/newsletter will be sent to faculty and posted for students, to inform them of new books and magazines, special library displays, programs, exhibits, workshop, or other highlights that are of educational, instructional and informational value.

Computers
Students have access to computers for research, homework, tutoring, and individualized library instruction. The Library provides computers, software, and internet access in order to assist students with research and study needs. Computers are available for all library users; however priority is given to currently enrolled Clarendon College students for education use or reserved classes or testing. There are 30 computers in the LRC and 10 in the center of the library for student use. Students can also bring their personal laptops and use the free Wi-Fi available in the library.
Clarendon College dual credit students can use TexShare electronic resources on any of the college campuses in which they are enrolled, their local public library, and remotely from other locations. They may not share their access information with other students or teachers and should only use TexShare electronic resources for the Clarendon College Course in which they are enrolled.

Printing
Printing in the Clarendon College Library is done remotely from the computers. When you press "PRINT" from your computer, the information is sent to a central printer or copier located in or at the entrance of the computer lab. The library does not charge CC students for printing at this time. In order for the library to continue this free service, we ask that you be very selective when printing. If your document does not print the first time, check with library staff before pressing print a second time.

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.
