Welcome to the William Spangler Library
Library Blog
Located on the Mays Landing main campus. Our library resources and facilities are available to the college community and residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties. The library currently owns over 71,000 books, audiocassettes, VHS videos, and music CD's, as well as subscriptions to more than 187 periodicals. In addition, 12 computer workstations and 16 wireless laptops are available for student and faculty use in the library. Professional (MLS) librarians and several library graduate assistants are available to provide assistance to students, faculty and staff.
Atlantic County Library's online integrated system (book catalog) is shared by the college library, 4 high schools, the Atlantic County Institute of Technology and 15 public library collections in the countywide system, making over 1 million volumes available to students, faculty and staff at ACCC through interlibrary loan. In addition, over 4,700 electronic books (eBooks) are also available via the library's Web site using netLibrary. They can be accessed in the library and off-campus. A valid ACCC identification card is needed to borrow material. Identification cards may be obtained at the Student Life Center.
The library subscribes to several research
databases,
including EBSCOhost, Lexis-Nexis and Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center
database services, which provide access to over 13,000 digitized newspaper,
magazine, and scholarly journal publications. Off-campus access is
available to these resources through the library's proxy server.
The library also subscribes to a limited number of paper copy
magazines, journals and newspapers. Please click on the William
Spangler Library Periodical Collection link for a list of specific
titles.
Books, articles and other materials not owned by the Spangler Library can be obtained for students and faculty, free of charge, from over 40,000 libraries worldwide via the library's interlibrary loan service.
Videos in VHS format are available to students for viewing in the library only. Selected titles from the library's video collection have been placed on the college video server and can be viewed from any computer at ACCC's three sites. Off-campus access to videos is not permitted at present.
