Did You Know? 
Library Sign In  

The process to log into library resources from off-campus has changed to a new multi-factor authentication. Select the Faculty & Staff sign in. Next, enter your South College email. Then, enter your South College email/Canvas password. Lastly, you’ll be asked to authenticate via a text message (verification code) or by phone call (press # key).  

Watch this video to see a quick demonstration of the new sign in process:  Accessing Library Resources from Off-Campus (video tutorial) 

 

Updates to the Library Search 

The library has made an upgrade to our library search. Consequently, you may notice that we have removed the catalog tab from the library’s website. Along with our online collection, the library’s physical holdings are now fully searchable via the Library Search box on the library’s homepage. Filter results for physical books by applying the “Catalog Only” limiter. If any of your course materials or course assignments make reference to Destiny, the Destiny Catalog, or the catalog, please remove those references and replace them with the Library Search instead.  If you have any questions about this, please contact a librarian.   

 

Resource Spotlight:

Academic Video Online has developed a new learning tool, Video Interaction Functionality, to prompt reflection and allow for assessment while watching videos.
