New Email Policy

Below you will find the new email policy for students of WTCC:
All school correspondence must be done through the my.waketech.edu email account. We will no longer accept an alternate email address for the primary one. If you wish to receive library notices via email, please contact one of the Wake Tech Libraries to update your email address.

For more details on new policies and upcoming policy changes, please see the official Updates Web page, located at http://updates.waketech.edu/.

*Every student is provided with an official Wake Tech email account through the student portal (my.waketech.edu).

*Students must FIRST activate their my.waketech.edu account, wait 24 hours, and then activate the email account.

This college-issued email account is to be used for ALL email correspondence with instructors and other college officials.

Once the account has been activated, students may choose to re-direct their email to a personal account. For more details, on how to forward your email, see this guide or video.

However, students are reminded that official correspondence from the college (communications from instructors, information about registration, library notices, or financial aid, etc.) will ONLY be sent to the Wake Tech email address, and that instructors and college officials may refuse to accept student emails sent from other addresses.

For more information, visit the Student Knowledge Base at my.waketech.edu to view articles on student account and email activation.

NoveList - Additional Titles

NoveList Plus and NoveList K-8 Plus are now provided to all NC LIVE
member libraries at least for the remainder of the 2009 calendar year.





NoveList K-8 Plus is a readers' advisory service designed specifically for children in grades K-8. Books are searchable by author, title, series name, Lexile level (reading level), and plot (including character, topic, time period, and setting) to retrieve descriptions, reviews, discussion guides, and feature articles related to books of interest.
Readers may select from information provided to find similar books that appeal to them. Updated and expanded monthly, the service also includes lists of award-winning fiction, non-fiction, book lists arranged by genre and subgenre, feature articles, thematic units and more.

NoveList Plus, a service primarily aimed at adult and young adult readers, is similar to NoveList, but includes an expanded collection (contains over 150,000 fiction titles & over 4000 custom created articles and lists), as well as access to reviews and information on 50,000 non-fiction reading materials.

Job Applicant, Beware: You're Being Googled

It's not just what you say that can be held against you when you're looking for a job. It's also what you post on MySpace or Facebook, write in your blog and/or broadcast on YouTube.

That's because if a potential employer uncovers salacious or otherwise unflattering material about you online, that job offer you were expecting could vaporize.

With 77 percent of employers Googling and otherwise researching applicants, you never know what your future bosses may think about those times you ranted about your coworkers or got sloshed at a party.
