You are encouraged to help the Librarians at Austin Community College select the books, periodicals, audiovisual media, and online databases that will help our students. Your knowledge of subject materials and of your students is vital to the appropriate development of the materials collections.
 
For purchases this fiscal year, print and audiovisual materials may be requested until March 7.
 
For print, media materials or for online databases, send requests to the relevant subject bibliographer listed on the web at <http://library.austincc.edu/gen-info/Bibs.htm> or give it to any librarian who will route it to the correct person.
 
Please send any reading or media lists you give your classes to the Librarian who is the subject bibliographer in your area. For Media Collection purchases of titles that can only be borrowed by faculty for classroom use, please contact the subject bibliographer instead of Media Center staff.  You will continue to reserve Media Collection materials, check out and return them out through the Media Center.
 
Librarians may also purchase media that can be checked out by students, faculty and staff.  These items will not be shelved in the Media Collection, will be checked out and returned to the library Circulation Desk, and will have a 3-day loan period. 
 
Library Services Online
 
The Library's collection of  online resources <http://library.austincc.edu/eresources/AtoZ.htm> includes full-text periodicals and provides reliable sources of information that are ideal for college research and that avoid the frequent problems of students relying on Web resources that have no quality control.
 
E-Books
 
Did you know that Library Services offers over 29,000 electronic books?  See what's available in your discipline by going to the online e-books page located at <http://library.austincc.edu/eresources/ebooks.htm>.
 
Web Links by Subject
 
We also welcome hearing of Web pages you use in your courses.  We can add them to our "Web Pages Recommended by ACC Librarians"  http://library.austincc.edu/w3/ These pages developed by the reference librarians also frequently include lists of new books acquired in the libraries.
 
Remote/Off-Campus Access
 
You can access the Library catalog from any computer with Internet access at <http://alicat.austincc.edu/>.  Online periodical indexes and reference databases can be reached from the library homepage at <http://library.austincc.edu/> You must use your ACCeID login for access if you are off campus.  More information about Off-Campus Access can be found at <http://library.austincc.edu/help/offcampus.htm>
 
We always welcome your suggestions for improving the collections.
