The Reynolds Library The Reynolds Library might be my absolute favorite resource here at JSRCC. Website: http://library.reynolds.edu/ The Reynolds library website is home to so many great resources. Their “Ask a Librarian Link” lets you email a librarian 24/7. The website is also home to a lot of incredible databases that can link you to scholarly journals and incredible resources for papers or coursework. The staff at the library is also very helpful and knowledgeable. Every time I’ve walked into the library on Parham Rd. Campus, I have had all of my questions answered, learned about a new resource or collection the library has access too, or been personally walked through something on their website I needed help with. I’ve always found that if you’re truly stuck on an assignment, there is probably someone in the library who can help you, or at least point you in the right direction.

My name is Caitlin Barlowe and I am a student entering my final semester here at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. In December, I will be graduating with my AS in Business Administration. However, my post high school education story isn’t that of the traditional student. I graduated high school in 2006 in Hanover County and decided to attend a traditional, 4-year school in Raleigh, NC. Three years into my degree, I decided that I wanted to take some time off to travel, explore, and more or less “find myself”. Nearly a decade later, after working many different jobs, in many different fields, marriage, and the birth of my daughter, I finally decided that finishing my degree, was something I was ready to do. My family and I made our way back to Richmond, and I decided to enroll in the Fall of 2017. I found myself more engaged and ready to learn than I had ever been previously. I have utilized the distance learning opportunities to make being a mom and a student, balance and work for me. I now have the opportunity to help other distance learning students navigate through their courses here at Reynolds as an Online Peer Mentor. Please let me know if there is anything I can assist you with regarding Online Learning!
