If you're a CGCC student who is working off campus, you can: 

  • Access your library account to place holds and search our catalogs and databases:
    • After you enroll, you automatically have access to the library catalog and databases. You do not need a physical card to get access to the library off campus. To log in, your username is CGCC------- (the dashes are to be replaced with your ID number), and the passcode is the last four digits of your phone number. If you have trouble logging in, contact the library (ext. 6081) for a password reset. 
  • Students, faculty, and CGCC staff who are not regularly on campus can request materials be mailed to their homes. Contact us for mailing information.

Instructors at CGCC (from any location) can contact the library for:

  • Library tours and database tutorials: available in both locations and for online and hybrid courses.
  • Course research guides: collaborate with a librarian to develop a lesson plan that incorporates library resources into your Moodle shell. Lessons can can include resource evaluation, copyright, and citation guidance. They can also be customized to enhance a specific assignment.
  • Instructional technology: lighting and webcams are available to check out for the term to support online instruction
  • Course reserve requests: library-owned or faculty-purchased items may be placed on reserve, so students can access them for limited checkouts and on-campus work
  • OER and copyright support: for faculty or students
