Library Services During the Break

LIBRARY SERVICES AND PROGRAMS DURING INTERSESSIONS

The mission of Library Services is to support teaching and learning at Austin Community College by offering Services and Programs that will help faculty and students attain a successful learning experience.

Reference & Research Services

Reference Librarians provide assistance to students at the Highland Campus Library during the intersession.
Chat service provides our students with assistance even when we are closed. The service provided after hours includes librarians who are trained in and are familiar with our resources.

We continue to answer email reference questions when we are closed as well for those who choose not to use Chat services.

As always, the ACC Library Services offers 24/7 access to the Library Web Site with links to such resources as:

• ebooks,
• online library catalog,
• subject guides to resources,
• research guides,
• online tutorials

In Addition:

During intersession phone messages and signage at all library locations are standardized, instructing students on which libraries are open and how best to reach them. Check flyer holders on library doors for "handouts" with hours and directions guiding them to the open campuses.

Student Support Textbook Collection

Confused about checking out textbooks from the library?

Not all textbooks are available in the library. Most must be purchased from the bookstore or other places. Learn what textbooks you need.

The Support Center Textbook Collection is a special collection of books purchased through a grant by the ACC Student Support Center to assist certain student groups* to gain access to required textbooks.

ONLY these special student groups* have access to the textbooks through the first week of classes.

After the first week of classes [starting the second week of classes], general credit students can checkout textbooks from this collection.

Need a place for group study?

The ACC library is a good place to find a quiet place to study by yourself or with a group. If you need a place to study with a group, try one of the library group study rooms. See more information.

Locations: 
These ACC libraries have group study rooms available for currently enrolled ACC students studying together: Cypress (CYP), Elgin (EGN), Eastview (EVC), Hays (HYS), Northridge (NRG), Rio Grande (RGC), Round Rock (RRC), Riverside (RVS), and South Austin (SAC). 

At this time, the Pinnacle (PIN) library does not have a group study room. Highland Campus (HLC) has  group study rooms, but they are located in the ACCelerator (across from the Library). Show your ACC ID and ask about availability at the ACCelerator's service desk
