Swain Center Campus

Will I need a library account to use online resources? How do I register for a library account?

You will not need a library account to use online resources.

Simply

  • log in to MySCC
  • choose the "Library" tab 
  • begin your research or find an entertaining e-book or streaming video!

You will find online databases containing peer-reviewed articles, the library book catalog, and library resource guides (a collection of resources for your major, your classes, or your interests).

To borrow print materials (to check out books, technology, or DVDs):

1. Obtain an SCC ID card from the Cashier's office in Balsam building on the Jackson campus. (For students, this is easily accomplished during Orientation!). Macon and Swain county SCC campuses can also provide student IDs--see the administrative assistant for more information.

2. Do one of the following:

       --bring your SCC ID card to the library and we will help you create your library account

       --email us at library@southwesterncc.edu

        --fill out this form

By activating your library account, you can check out books, laptops, webcams,  and DVDs, and you may use items for class that have been placed on Reserve by your instructors.

Database access: Swain Campus via SCC's Holt Library

MACON or SWAIN CAMPUS STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF:
