Using Films on Demand database OFF CAMPUS

If you teach in a building that IS part of SCC's main campuses of Jackson, Macon, or Swain centers:

Log in to MySCC

Choose the "Library" tab
Choose NC LIVE and search

Find Films on Demand by

--searching NC LIVE for "videos" OR

--under "Browse", choosing "Videos"

If you teach in a building that is NOT part of SCC's main campuses of Jackson, Macon, or Swain centers (you will do this without using the usual MySCC point of entry):

paste this URL into a browser or click this link (we recommend Chrome or Firefox) to directly access the Films on Demand database: http://online.infobaselearning.com/Direct.aspx?aid=240802&pid=WE00

You will be asked to enter special credentials to log in (instructors only, not for student access). You will have to ask us for those on a case-by-case basis.

We're sorry that we can't just publish those credentials here, but neither the vendor nor the library want students to access the product this way. Students, if they have a MySCC account, can log in themselves using MySCC credentials, but since your job placement is not on a main campus, you have to use a different method of access. Call 828.339.4288 or email library@southwesterncc.edu to obtain the username and password.

NOTICE: Some buildings in which classes are held are not part of SCC's technology framework (they are outside the range of SCC's IP addresses) and your access may be limited. Further, some centers (Job Corps, for instance), do not allow access to certain websites. Contact SCC's IT HelpDesk at 828.339.4409 if you have difficulty accessing library materials.

If you encounter difficulties with the database itself (or any other library resource), library staff may be able to help you. Call us at 828.339.4288 or drop an email to library@southwesterncc.edu.

Job Search Skills (videos)
Job-Seeking Skills for Young People
Job hunters who represent the late phase of the millennial generation or “Generation Y” have more resources at their disposal than any previously emergent group. This program examines technology-based tools that can help young job seekers and the skills necessary to make those tools work. Viewers learn about developing a digital career portfolio and investigating potential employers using the vast mine of information on the Internet. The video also discusses ways to access the “hidden” job market through personal networking, the four main styles of resume (chronological, skills-based, targeted, and generic), the advantages of mock interviews, and the STAR system. (27 minutes)
The Career Portfolio
Emma and Lucy are high school seniors interested in a career in fashion. Their credentials are very similar, and when the two apply for the same retail fashion job and Lucy wins out, it’s her career portfolio that sets her apart from Emma. But what exactly is a career portfolio? How is one created, and how precisely does it fit into the job application process? This video tells all, as it explains the difference between specific and general skills, types of documents to include that illustrate those skills, and how to make use of the portfolio at an interview. Viewable/printable educational resources are available online. A part of the series Selling Yourself Successfully. (25 minutes)
