Welcome to Valencia College! As you begin your college career, you'll find that your professors have different expectations than those of your high school teachers. In this LibGuide, you'll find multi-media resources for accessing the online library, conducting research, creating citations, and more.

Greetings Faculty and Media Center Specialists,
As librarian and New Student Experience professor at the Lake Nona Campus, I work extensively with dual enrollment students from Orange and Osceola counties as well as Florida Virtual School.
I'm always looking for new opportunities to collaborate and better serve our students. If you would like to schedule an information session, class or high school visit, or have me create custom online content, I'd love to hear from you.
Best wishes as we navigate this school year,
