Exciting updates are coming to the library this Spring semester! We’re rolling out changes to improve access and streamline your library experience.

Updated Library Website

Our updated website is designed with accessibility and ease of use in mind. The new layout offers:

  • Simplified design: Find what you need with fewer clicks.
  • Familiar look and feel: A design similar to local universities, helping transferring students transition more easily.

New Online Library Catalog

We’re upgrading to the Evergreen Integrated Library System (ILS), bringing a host of benefits:

  • Expanded Interlibrary Loan Services: Borrow materials from nearly all North Carolina community colleges once again.
  • Enhanced Course Reserve Searching: Students can now search reserve materials by course! Faculty, make sure your course reserves are updated in the system to take full advantage of this feature.

Stop by the library for an early look at these exciting updates! Our staff will be happy to share more details and answer your questions.

We look forward to these changes enhancing your library experience this Spring. Stay tuned for more updates!
