Lakeland Library Newsletter: Welcome to Spring 2025

Lakeland has access to two new databases!

Through our partnership with OhioLINK, Lakeland Library has acquired SAGE Business Skills and SAGE Student Success Skills. Check out the new SAGE databases for self-guided tutorials, quizzes, videos, and more. 

ACM database will not be renewed by OhioLINK

OhioLINK voted to end access to the ACM database December 31, 2024. After January 1st, 2025, OhioLINK libraries that participate in the Electronic Journal Center will continue to have access to previously-purchased ACM e-journal content at the EJC. 

Questions? Please contact Megan Mamolen (mmamolen1@lakelandcc.edu) or Tom Hyland (thyland@lakelandcc.edu).

Stop by the Library, on the third floor of C-Building, C-3051, to browse some of our great new resources!
