Library

The mission of the CCCC libraries is to provide library, electronic media and audiovisual resources, and a variety of services necessary to support the educational program and mission of the College, and to provide information resources and services that will meet the diverse needs, interests, cultural backgrounds, and aptitudes of library patrons. Such patrons include CCCC students, faculty, staff, small businesses, industries, and residents of the CCCC service area.

The student ID card received at registration is also the CCCC library card. The first card is issued at no charge, but replacement cards cost $5.00. Library cards for community patrons are also available at the circulation desk.

The library card is required to checkout all materials including reserve materials and telecourse videotapes. The libraries do not charge fines for overdue materials; however, the replacement cost of the item is charged for items that have been lost. Charges may also be assessed for damaged materials. Grades, transcripts, and diplomas are held until the library record has been cleared.

The CCCC libraries contain a variety of electronic resources, a print collection of over 42,500 titles and over 240 magazine and newspaper subscriptions.

In addition, the library is a member of the Community College Libraries in North Carolina (CCLINC). Access to the CCLINC Catalog is available online to users. You will see the collections of and can request materials from 44 community college members. The items you requested will be sent to the CCCC campus you designate, and library staff will notify you when the materials are received. CCCC also has an interlibrary loan service and, through the North Carolina Information Network, library staff can request items for patrons from other libraries in the southeast.

The CCCC library has cooperative agreements giving students borrowing privileges at the public libraries serving Lee, Harnett, and Chatham counties and at Campbell University.

We welcome your suggestions to improve our services and resources. To contact us, please use the "Ask A Librarian" form or call us at (919) 718 7244.

LibQUAL+ Survey Results

During spring semester of 2006, CCCC participated in an online survey to measure userÕs perceptions of library services. The instrument used was LibQUAL+, which was developed by the Association of Research Libraries.

The survey was a project supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the federal Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources.
