The J. C. Oliver Library is the academic hub of the college, supporting academic programs providing books, electronic resources, and other materials to strengthen the curriculum. Several volumes of books, periodicals, and journals are accessible, as well as special collections and legal documents for research and study.

ProQuest connects people to information anywhere they study, work, invent or seek to learn. ProQuest can also be used as if its periodicals were on a library shelf. You can browse a range of issues for one title, or find a specific issue. ProQuest’s services also allows you to create a free personal login. This login will allow you to save articles, organize your research, add tags, and modify search alerts and RSS feeds.
In order to access ProQuest, you will need to sign into the myABC Portal (JICS) and click on the ProQuest link.
Ebrary is a platform that provides desktop access to online books. Online books are electronic versions of printed books and, in most cases, are an exact duplication of the printed book. Online books can be viewed online from any PC connected to the Internet, browsed for quick research and reference, or read online any time of day or night. We have access to 2600 titles in all subject areas. This access is part of a pilot program. We expect to add more titles at some point in the future.
