Located on the third floor of the Library/Educational Technology Building

The EVC Library, located on the third floor of the Library/Educational Technology Building, is a place for study and research. It houses books, periodicals, and a variety of audiovisual materials for student use and checkout. The library subscribes to various online databases which provide access to eBooks, journal articles, and streaming media. Librarians are available in-person, by email, phone or chat to help students find information sources for their research needs. The library also houses the Electronic Research Area, a computer lab providing access to Microsoft Office products, the Internet, and networked printers.

Some course textbooks are available on reserve for students for in-library use or for checkout. Search for materials from on or off campus by searching the Library Catalog via the library’s homepage at https://www.evc.edu/library. To check out library materials, students must use their EVC Student ID which they can obtain from Admissions and Records. Photocopiers and printing services are available for a small fee.

Librarians teach information competency skills to help students learn the basics of research or to master more advanced skills. Classes may be tailored to the needs or outcomes of a specific assignment. If you are an instructor who is interested in setting up a session for your class, please contact the Reference Desk to make an appointment. Also contact the desk if you wish to locate and identify library materials to support instruction and coursework or if you wish to make a purchase recommendation. Library faculty offer a three-unit online course, Electronic Research and the Internet (LIB 015), to teach students information competency skills. This course is offered in the fall and spring semesters.

Additional services and resources include adaptive computer technologies, laptop computers, free unsecured wireless Internet, ongoing cultural/art displays, research guides, and study rooms for groups.
