EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY	Finding information using all the tools available is a necessity in this Information Age.  Resources available through the DCCC Library as well as the public library and the internet can help in one’s personal life (who to vote for and understanding health conditions), one’s work life (competitors, marketing ideas), and one’s academic career (identifying authoritative resources for research topics).  Individual help is available through the following delivery modes:  in person, telephone (610-359-5146), email and IM. I welcome and encourage everyone to use a library for their personal and professional needs.
