Book-a-Librarian

“My professor suggested booking a librarian, and it proved to be even more beneficial than I had expected.” - a CCC student

If you need help with research, book a thirty-minute appointment to meet one-on-one with a librarian. Provide some information about your assignment and research goals and we'll contact you to set up the appointment. Appointments are available Mon-Thurs from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Friday 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. You can meet in person in the library or schedule an online appointment using Zoom.  Please book your appointment at least two days in advance.

Did you know that we have research guides that are designed to instruct you in finding, using, and evaluating credible academic resources? Included in these guides are links to relevant books, websites, and databases as well as tips for research. One of our new guides focuses on geology.

This guide includes links to some of the great new scientific databases that can be found through Ebscohost:  GreenFILE, Science & Technology Collection, Environment Complete, and Science Full Text Select.  Turn your geology paper into a gem with help from the Geology Research Guide!

We have many different anatomy models available on reserve to help you get a leg up on your exams. Models include skulls; close-ups of a muscle fiber and a neuron; the circulatory system; skin with burn pathologies; the pelvic regions; arm, leg, and head muscles; the ear and eye; complete skeletons; and a variety of internal organs. Inquire at the front desk for our “menu” of items and check one out for two hours in the library.
