📚 The Fall
Library Newsletter Has Arrived!
Stay informed with our bi-weekly updates featuring the latest library news,
resources, and upcoming events. These newsletters are designed to help you make
the most of what the library has to offer—whether you're accessing research
tools, attending workshops, or exploring new services.
We encourage you to take full advantage of these offerings and to share them with your students to support their academic success.
Ground News
We are excited to introduce a new resource to the ChattState community, available now to everyone!
Ground News is a comprehensive news comparison platform with more than 50,000 diverse news sources, perfect for lateral reading. It provides tools to empower readers to evaluate news sources, understand media bias, and think critically about current events in real-time. To get started, you must access Ground News through our library link, but once established, you will have full access, wherever you are – in a browser or on the app. Here’s a video on how it works.
Libby eBooks and Audiobooks
The Library has joined the Tenn-Share Overdrive consortium. What does that mean? For faculty, staff, and students that means a whole lot more digital resources to access through the Libby app!

Library Resources for Faculty & Staff
Need a book or article we don't have at the library? Want to put your textbook on course reserve for your students? Read the Chronicle of Higher Education? Request information literacy instruction for a research assignment in your class? You can do all that and more! We have a library page dedicated to resources for you, our faculty and staff. Check it out and let us know if you have questions!
