Connect!

Welcome to the Information Age!

Technological advances have provided this generation with a tremendous opportunity to contribute to the global community through sharing ideas where ever and when ever they present themselves.  It is not unusual in higher education to attend class in a virtual classroom, with a professor who lives in another country, and with fellow students who lead diverse and dynamic lives.  Today, it is just as possible to maintain friendships with those who have moved from your hometown as it is to build friendships with newcomers.  All of this is made possible through our digital devices.

But still, even with all the avenues of connections made possible through technology, we might want more meaningful ways to connect to people.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to use our connectivity to establish our sense of place and purpose in this world?

At LHS Library, you can get connected and contribute to your community!
