FYE101 (First Year Experience 101)

Hello! Early on in FYE101, there is "Library Day," a whole class session where you get to meet librarians and learn so many ways CCC Library and the Learning Center want to help and support you. CCC Librarians created this site specifically for you, to help jog your memory about all the services, resources, and support CCC Library has to offer to you! 

Most of CCC Library is online, which means you can do all your research and get help from your phone or home computer. Think of this guide as the "Digital Welcome Mat" on the door to CCC's online library. Inside you'll find:

• A "Library Day" session recap: Notes detailing the many services available to you free through CCC Library.
• Books, videos, and articles for your FYE101 class! Topics include time management, educational planning, goal setting, personal responsibility, stress management, and the academic mindset.
• Contact information for CCC Library, including 24/7 live chat and Zoom appointments. No question is too small: don't get stuck!

CCC Library has your FYE101 textbook, My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education by Jennine Capo Crucet, on Course Reserves.

Course Reserves are free, short term loans of textbooks and other course materials used in FYE101 and other classes. There are two ways to access Course Reserves:

• Check out Course Reserves textbooks for 2 hours at CCC Library.
• Request CCC Library scan and email you a chapter from your textbook. Use the link below.
