Searching for Books in Print

Sign in to MySCC and click the Library tab.

Choose Books tab in the search box. 

You may search for an item several ways, such as title, author, or subject.  The library box default is Southwestern.

Click on the item and it will give you a call number (LCC) and a location.

If you do not find what you need at Holt Library, simply go back to your search screen and the box that says "Southwestern."  This time, scroll to the top of the list and click "everything" so that it will search all of the libraries in our community college system.  If you find an item you would like, call us or email us to make the request.

You can also search for Ebooks in the OneSearch box. On the results screen, refine your search by choosing Ebook Full Text Online.

If you still don't find what you need, please contact us and we will place an inter-library loan order for you.  That means that we can search libraries outside of our system.  You have access to many libraries through SCC.

How to Download eBooks From Holt Library to Read Offline 

To checkout or download an eBook in ProQuest or EBSCO, including titles available via NC Live, a personal account is required . You do not need a personal account to use the "read online" feature and read an eBook from your computer desktop (however an internet connection is required). Download times (1 day to 365 days) vary by title because some eBooks only have 1 user spot available at a time. 

ProQuest and EBSCO eBook collections manage check outs and downloads using  Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) .  Similar to a print book which, when checked out, is not available for use by someone else, many eBooks are only available to one person at a time when checked out. 

In both ProQuest and EBSCO you can choose your download format - PDF or EPUB. Books in PDF retain the look and feel of the print book. EPUB allows you to resize the text of the book, which may be helpful on a tablet, phone, or other smaller device.

Download Steps:

1. Create an account on ProQuest Ebooks Central and EBSCO eBook platforms.

2. Download Adobe Digital Editions  (ADE) to your personal computer, and create an account. (ADE is not required for UPSO content.)

3. Search for and download an eBook from Holt Library's OneSearch All Books
