The SFCC library can support teaching in-person and at a distance using both synchronous and asynchronous teaching. This page describes the course support and instructional services provided by the library.
Synchronous Library Services:
The library website is the portal to all of our collections and materials, digital and physical. Below is a list of helpful places to start in your search for instructional content or to send your students for their assignment needs.
Ask a Librarian: You can email or leave a message for any of the librarians and we will get back to you. We can work with you via email, phone, or set up a web conference via Zoom.
Navigating Copyright in Moving Courses Online: This resources has been created to help guide instructors through instructional content questions related copyright and fair-use.
When you add articles from the library's databases to Canvas or send students articles via email you need create a special permanent URL that includes the SFCC server's proxy server as a prefix.
Some databases will include the SFCC prefix, but others will not. When you paste the URL, make sure the prefix is included or you may add it yourself. The prefix is: https://login.sfcc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
Each database has a different location for the permalink - if you are having trouble locating the permlink for an article you want to use contact the library at: library@sfcc.edu. Below are some screen shots showing the locations.
