Finding Books And Videos

The ACC library catalog is not really a part of the private web. Anyone can access it from anywhere (but only students and staff can actually check out the material). But the catalog is a part of the web that isn't accessed by using a general search engine like Google.

The catalog uses a separate search engine that only looks at what the ACC libraries have. Books can be sent to your home campus from any other ACC library. These take about two weekdays to arrive.

Follow the instructions in the boxes below to for a quick look at how the catalog works.

Now it's your turn. Search the library catalog for your topic. Be sure to use the Keyword search and only enter two or three words that describe your topic.

WORKSHEET EXERCISE: Record one book listed in the ACC library catalog that looks useful for your topic.
