SERVICES FOR DISTANCE
LEARNING STUDENTS
|
|
All of the
library's services
are available for distance learning students. Students who
are unable to come to campus can take advantage of the
following extra services. Distance Learning students must
have a
CCM email account in order
to use the library services and obtain materials. |
|
LIBRARY CARDS |
Students coming to campus may obtain their
library card at the main desk in the library with a valid
CCM picture ID. Students who are unable
to get to the main campus, may request a library barcode to
use for borrowing materials. To
request a barcode, a distance learning student should email
"Ask
A Librarian" with a library card request and
include their name, address, telephone number,
CCM email
address, and student ID number. Upon receipt of the email, a
barcode will be sent to the student. |

BORROWING CCM LIBRARY MATERIALS |
Students who are not able to come to the library may order
CCM materials by email through the "Ask
A Librarian" service. The email message should
include: student's name and address, phone number, ID
number, library barcode number, and the title of the book or
material requested. The items will be checked out to the
student and mailed directly to their home. Students should
contact their local library for materials that cannot be
found in the CCM library holdings. |
|
PERIODICAL ARTICLES |
All CCM students have free access to "Use
A Database" for locating periodical articles
while on campus and through
remote access when off
campus.
If a full text article is not
available on the database, it can be ordered through the
Article Request Form
in the Interlibrary Loan
Department. If a student is unable to come to campus to pick
up an article, this should be indicated in the "special
notes" section of the form. The article can be faxed or
mailed to the student's home. |
