Interlibrary Loan
Students, faculty, and staff may borrow materials from other libraries (North Carolina Community College Libraries) in the area, state, or region that are unavailable in either PCC campus library. Although borrowing books is usually free, users must pay for photocopies. To request a book or article through interlibrary loan, complete an Interlibrary Loan Request Form online for a book or an article.
Library Instruction
Each student is required to attend a Library orientation, which is through the ACA courses. Individual and group instruction in using library resources is available upon request. You may schedule an instruction session with the Reference Librarian, Person County Campus or the Campus Librarian, Caswell County Campus.
Library Surveys
Surveys allow the Library to measure how well we are providing services to the College, and the Library is able to take the information gathered from the surveys and make changes to provide better services.
