Stephanie Alexander / Digital Services & Instruction Librarian


About Me
I am new to the College of San Mateo this year, and am really excited to work with the students at CSM!

Prior to joining the faculty at CSM, I was a faculty librarian at the University of Colorado Boulder and at the University of Southern California. I earned a Bachelors of Arts in Mass Communication from the University of California at Berkeley and a Masters of Science in Information from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

Course Textbook
The required textbook for the class is The College Student's Research Companion: Finding, Evaluating and Citing the Resources You Need to Succeed by Arlene Quartiello. ISBN: 9781555707293. This is the 5th edition of this book. Past editions are very different and won't work for this class. You can buy this at the CSM bookstore. There are also three copies of the textbook available through College Reserves at the CSM Library. Check whether the textbooks on reserve are currently available by using the CSM Library catalog.


Library Card
You will need a Peninsula System library card. If you have one already, make sure it's still active - they do expire, but all you need to do is visit any PLS library and update your information that they will renew your card. If you don't have a PLS library card, you can obtain one from any public library in San Mateo County. If you don't live in San Mateo County, you can still get a card that's available to distance education students.
