Library Services provides the educational resources necessary to support the goals of Austin Community College. Educational resources refers to the instructional, enrichment, and training materials in varied formats chosen to reflect the purpose of the College, courses offered, varied teaching methods, and special needs of the students, faculty and staff.

Faculty and students are encouraged to survey the library and media collections and make recommendations to librarians or Instructional Technology professionals. The staff welcome the opportunity to join with classroom faculty in developing collections. (As a rule, the Library does not purchase textbooks.)

Please consult the memorandum which is sent out to all faculty in the fall of each academic year for further information. A separate list of the professionals to consult if you wish to request materials for purchase is also available.

You can also talk with a reference librarian at your campus who will forward your request to the appropriate person.
