NCTC
Library Catalog – The Library Catalog includes
materials on all three NCTC campuses. Location is indicated in the
bibliographic record of a material. The record includes a link to
request the item (student ID or library card number required). A
courier service between the three campuses ensures rapid delivery
of requested materials. For more information about borrowing library
materials, see Frequently Asked
Questions or contact library staff.
Collections include books, journals, magazines, newspapers, video
and audio cassettes, and electronic books. In addition to advanced
searching features, the catalog permits "shelf browsing"
by classification number. For more information on the Library
of Congress Classification System, view an outline.
NCTC eBook Collection
– Includes more than 25,000 full-text scholarly, reference
and professional eBooks from leading university, academic and professional
publishers. The Free Reading Room area has a sizable collection
of public domain eBooks. To access the NCTC eBook collection
from off campus, you must establish an account from a workstation
in the Library/LRC.
TexShare
Libraries – NCTC is a member of TexShare which
was established to promote resource sharing among libraries in Texas.
With the TexShare
Borrower's Card, students, faculty and staff may borrow books
directly from participating college and university libraries (View
a list of TexShare
libraries). Apply for a borrower's card at the Circulation Desk
or contact library staff. NCTC student ID also required.
Books borrowed through the TexShare network can, in most cases,
be delivered more quickly than traditional means because a daily
(five days per week) courier service links participating academic
libraries. For more information, contact your campus Library/LRC.
