Portland Community College Library

Doesn't the Portland Community College library institution get adequate exposure? Yes it gets and in any Portland Oregon travel list it figures largely. In the next trip to Portland you must go there - an ideal environment for education will be ascertained.

What is the main task of the library? It is to provide a range of service to the entire college community including students, faculty, college staff and the surrounding communities.

The library endeavors to render equal services to distance and campus-based students and faculty too and details are available at http://www.pcc.edu/library/, http://www.pcc.edu/.

On the other hand, apart from the aforesaid activities, library services extend beyond the walls of the library buildings as well. The library being a member of the Orbis Cascade Alliance plays a considerable role and this provides students direct access to the collections of over thirty academic libraries in Oregon and Washington.

Owing to these grueling jobs students can go to Alliance member libraries personally or request items to be delivered to a PCC library location by using Summit, the Alliance's group catalog.

In addition, the library subscribes to quite a few databases containing information, articles and access to peer reviewed journals and this is really helpful for students.
