Community Colleges are “no longer America’s best-kept secret”, according to Delaware’s own Jill Biden in this essay at Forbes.com.
Dr. Biden taught for 16 years in our own Delaware Technical and Community College, and is well qualified to talk about the tremendous advantages these institutions have in their flexibility, ability to accommodate the needs of adult learners, and relative inexpensiveness compared to other institutions of higher learning.
If you’re a Delaware Library Catalog user, you’re already receiving services from the four campus libraries of DTCC- because they are members of the consortium, their holdings are almost all available to all public library users in Kent and Sussex Counties. Because of the specialization that is inherent to college libraries, this means that on certain subjects- particularly health topics and the social sciences, public library patrons have access to a quality and depth of collection that would not typically be available at a normal public library. Patron’s don’t have to go through a complicated inter-library loan process for these titles- they can be found in the online catalog and holds can be placed for delivery to the user’s local library.
