Design Resources Abound at the Palomar College
Library!
Our library collection includes many books, periodicals and media to support the
various Design and Consumer Education Department programs. In addition we have
several databases and electronic journals that provide access to the world of
design to supplement instruction and meet student interests.
New this semester are online access to the local publication California Apparel
News and the Vogue Archives database. Links to both resources can be found using
the Library Catalog.
If you didn't have a chance to attend the Palomar College Fashion Merchandising & Design Program's "MODA Fashion Show"
on May 3rd take a peek at the show's
program. The Library was proud to be a 'sponsor' this year.

Last month our 3rd floor Display celebrated Poetry Month!
Every April our country pays tribute to poetry's "... vital place in American culture." National Poetry Month was
inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996.
This year Library Technician Lisa Franson mounted a Library display to
celebrate poetry and poets. This tribute to the 'complex poetic heritage'
was located on the 3rd floor.

Yes there are Textbooks at the Library!
Thanks to continued support from the President's Associates grant program for the Spring 2013 semester we have added
new editions of titles and textbooks in new subject areas (e.g.
Earth Sciences).
We are also grateful to Instructors who donate copies of textbooks since our
grant
funds are very limited.
Students may use the textbooks while they study in the Library. All these Textbooks are listed in the online catalog.
Click here to view holdings for the President's Associates items in our catalog. If you do not
find the title, please drop by or call us (760-744-1150, ext.2616
or 8213) to find out if your textbook is available.
