Library Sign In
The process to log into library resources from off-campus has changed to a new multi-factor authentication. Select the Student 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)
Upgrade 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 you have any questions about this, please contact a librarian.
Distance Ed. Page
The library’s Distance Ed. has been newly updated to provide our distance education students with additional useful information related to library resources and services. This page is for students who live greater than 40 miles from any South College campus. Find information on the Distance Ed. page about the library’s delivery policy, interlibrary loan, online appointments with a librarian, and more.
Library Blog
The library blog is one of the library’s new ways to share useful information, spotlight resources of special interest, and offer research tips and resource recommendations. Find the most recent library blogs on the library’s homepage. Interested in subscribing to the blog? Sign up on the blog page, and you can have the blog delivered directly to your South College email!
Resource Spotlight
Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy
Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy contains nearly 330 videos of real human anatomic specimens in their natural colors, Videos show moving structures—muscles, tendons, and joints—making the same movements that they make in life. The videos show complex structures step by step—from bone to surface anatomy—to provide a foundation for understanding anatomical structure and function. The entire series was digitally re-mastered producing clearer, brighter, and more detailed videos than seen in previous versions.
Study Tip
Manage Your Time Effectively
At the start, look over your course syllabi and understand what is expected of you in each course you are taking. Mark out blocks of time (on a physical or online calendar) for study prior to important due dates and tests. It’s best to study over multiple days and not to cram. Plan accordingly. Make sure your study plan doesn’t conflict with other commitments so that you are more likely to stick to it. Complete work sooner than the due date, leave time to revise, and have a backup plan in case your technology encounters problems.
