Library Resource Centre

SacHelp

The Library Resource Centre is an integral part of the College education program. Emphasis is placed on helping students develop research and information literacy skills as well as enhancing teaching and learning. Reading is encouraged.

A booklet entitled Library Resource Centre Guide is available for each student. It outlines all library procedures. All students are expected to observe Library rules and procedures. A Library ID card is also issued to each student who has signed the College Acceptable Internet Use Policy.

Access to the AIMS and SacNet catalogues is through the computer system. Computers in the Library also provide access to global information and are to be used for educational purposes only.

Currently the Library manages approximately 28,000 books, 3,500 videos both in DVD and VHS format, as well as other items.

All textbooks are also hired through the Library.
