American History 2010 Dr, Alexander JSCC Library Resources: Home

Finding a book

You have access to over 54,000 printed books and 220,000 electronic books.  These books can give you an in-depth look at an historical topic.

To find books in the JSCC Library, use the Online Catalog

You may also want to come into the JSCC Library and browse in the various subject areas of the library.  Searching the indexes of printed books can be very helpful.

Interlibrary Loan

If you need a book that the JSCC Library doesn't own, please contact Sara Saddler (ssaddler@jscc.edu)
Provide her with the author, title, date of publication and publisher.

The Library then asks another library to loan us the book.  We use the Online College Library Center to connect us to most academic libraries in the country.

It takes about 2 weeks for a book to be sent here from another library.
