Check out books & eBooks

1. ...if the book is physically located at an ACCD library (SAC, SPC, PAC, NVC)

Bring a current ACCD ID card to that library to check the book out. An ACCD ID card allows you to check books out at any ACCD library. SAC students can also have books from other ACCD libraries Interlibrary loaned to the SAC Library, 3rd floor, Moody Learning Center for pickup.

2. ...if the book is an eBook online from NetLibrary

NetLibrary is a database that requires a login from off-campus. You can get login info HERE.

Electronic books are available through NetLibrary and provided by TexShare. After entering NetLibrary, current SAC students, faculty, and staff can "View" an eBook. While you are "viewing" a copy of an eBook, no one else can access the eBook, but if an eBook is inactive for 15 minutes it will become available again for use. You can also set up a free, confidential account by clicking on the "Create a Free Account" link on NetLibrary's opening web page. After you set up the account, you can add a book to your virtual bookshelf, make notes, highlight text, place bookmarks and login to our online collection of eBooks directly at http://www.netlibrary.com.

Some eBooks may require Adobe Acrobat reader (free download available) or DjVu plug-in (free download available for PC & Mac or Linux.)

3. ...if the book is physically located at any other library

SAC students can have books from other libraries Interlibrary loaned to the SAC Library, 3rd floor, Moody Learning Center for pickup.

OR

Get a TexShare card or work with your local college or public libraries to see if you can borrow books from them. Most colleges have a "friends of the library" program and public libraries usually provide Interlibrary loan services along with their regular patron services. It never hurts to ask!
