Upon presentation of a photo ID card and verified current SDCCD employment status, we will check out library materials to faculty and staff. All materials must be checked out from and returned to the Circulation Desk. Books circulate four weeks; other materials have different loan periods. No renewals. Call the Circulation Desk at (619) 388-7310 for more information.

Collection Development

Your recommendations for additions or deletions to our collection will help keep the Library vital, current and responsive to the college’s curriculum changes. To help develop our ever-expanding collection, you can recommend that the Library

purchase books/DVDs on subjects that the Library needs more information

purchase specific titles that support your instructional programs

discard specific titles that are dated or obsolete

Each librarian has been assigned a specific subject area to develop. See our Staff Directory to contact the person responsible for the collection in your subject area.

Instructors who wish to put items on Reserve should fill out a form and turn it in to the staff at the Circulation Desk. Processing may take up to three working days until the materials are available for student use. Materials must be removed by the end of each spring semester.
