The NCC Library is proud to support teaching and learning at the college.
NCC's librarian can come to your classroom to show students how to access online library resources for research papers and assignments. Please submit this form at least one week before you would like her to visit and please provide her with a copy of the assignment so she can tailor her instruction. Email Fran Keenan for more information.
The majority of NCC's library's books -- 98% -- are now eBooks. Most of these eBooks are from academic publishers and qualify as scholarly resources. To search for a book on specific topic, search all ebooks at the same time in NCC Library OneSearch on library homepage. (Choose eBooks tab).
To use an eBook -- in whole or in part--in Canvas, cut and paste the "Permalink" into the course. Contact the NCC Librarian for assistance.
