The Full-Term Loan Collection is a collection of textbooks available to be checked out for the entire term. This collection is made possible by collaboration between CCC Library and CCC's Associated Student Government. Textbooks available for full-term checkout are located in the Dye Learning Center and will always be due back to CCC Library by the last day of term.
This collection is a Textbook Affordability initiative designed to lower financial barriers by providing students with the opportunity to check out their course materials for an entire term, rather than a limited-duration loan like the regular course reserves collection.
Do you have any extra copies of the textbook you require or recommend for your course? If so, please consider donating them to the library to be included in this collection!
FAQ
Nothing has changed about the original Course Reserves collection. Texts in the Full-Term Loan collection are just an additional option for CCC students.
Textbooks are only added to this collection if they are currently assigned and are already in our regular Course Reserves collection. Once these requirements are met, there are two ways that books get added to this collection: CCC Library purchases copies of textbooks with funds provided by the library and ASG. CCC Library accepts textbook donations from CCC students and employees. We utilize information from the bookstore to guarantee that the textbooks we are purchasing are currently in use, and are sure to only purchase student-facing copies of textbooks. Additionally, the collection is set to be reviewed once a year to maintain currency.
All they have to do is come to the library! The folks at the circulation desk can help students locate the textbooks they need. If the Full Term Loan copy of a textbook has already been checked out, library staff will recommend the regular Course Reserves copy as an alternative.
