Students can check out materials from the Library. Students will need to bring a photo identification with them in order to register. Materials are checked out for a period of two weeks with the ability to be renewed for an additional two weeks. Books or DVDs can be returned to any of the College's locations.

The Library has an online library instruction program called
PHILLIP
(Pennsylvania Highlands Information Literacy Library Instruction Program.)
PHILLIP
is a series of self-directed tutorials that will help you use all of
the Library online resources including the Library catalog and
online databases.
You are able to access
PHILLIP
from the Library’s webpage under the link, “Student Resources” You
are able to work through the tutorials as often as you need to. Also
on the Library Instruction page are links to MLA and APA style
guides, help on organizing a research paper, and guides to avoiding
plagiarism.
The bibliography tool, Bedford Bibliographer, will help you organize
your research and provides you with an easy way to set up a citation
page according to either MLA or APA style.
