Academics & So Much More! Blog

In the ever-evolving landscape of higher education, the role of the college library has transformed from a mere repository of books to a vibrant hub of learning and collaboration. At the heart of this transformation lies a crucial partnership: the collaboration between librarians and instructors.

In Professor Orlando Stone’s English class, traditional literature meets the silver screen as students learn from Librarian Missy Comer how to find films to review based on movies available in the library’s collection. She also navigates students through the process of locating top critics and reliable biographical information on directors, actors and others tied to the film the student has chosen to review.

Together, Stone and Comer play a pivotal role in this cinematic journey of inspiring students to explore, learn and grow.
