Where do I look for materials in the Library?

Everything that the Library owns is listed in the C.O.D. Online Catalog. Below are some hints to help you find what you are looking for.

1. From the Library home page, click once on Library Catalog
2. Click once on Keyword
3. In the first box, type a keyword such as GED or PreGED
4. Only want DVDs?  Looking for software?  You can specify the Material Type and limit your search by format.
5. Language allows you to select non-English language materials such as Spanish or Russian
6. Click the Search button to view results

For a demonstration of these steps, you can view the following video.  It will show you how to find grammar books for ESL students.  Click the box in the lower right-hand corner of the player to view the video in full-screen.

Can I check out books, videos, computer software and audiotapes and take them home with me?

Yes -- most of general collection items can be checked out for FREE!
Videos and audiotapes can be checked out for one week.
Most books can be checked out for three weeks.

The only books that cannot be checked out have the letters REF on the label on the side or front of the book. REF means the book is a Reference book and can only be used in the Library. Some items in the CCIC (College and Career Information Center) may also be in-Library use only.

You need a C.O.D. Library Card to check things out of the library. You can get a library card at the Circulation Desk located near the entrance to the Library.

What happens if I don't return materials on time (when they are due)?
