How Do I...?
Use the library to support my academic success?
There is so much information online and it can take a lot of time and effort to figure out what is quality information and if it would work for your assignment. Research more efficiently using the library!
Your FRCC librarians selected books, journals, and textbooks that are relevant to your FRCC classes. You can borrow all of these items for free.
In addition to our physical collection, you can use the Colorado Community College System’s Online Library, accessible from anywhere by logging in with your S number. These online databases include trustworthy sources like peer-reviewed articles, newspapers, primary sources, eBooks, videos and animations, and images. Using these resources will make your assignments stand out while you’re in school. Researching with FRCC databases will also familiarize you with the type of professional information valued in your field.
Log in to FRCC databases remotely using my S number?
When you click on a database link, you will see a Colorado Community College System banner. Click the “Colorado Community Colleges Login” button.
Enter your S number and password to log in to FRCC Library online resources.
You should be redirected to the database or publication title you want.
Look for text, often on the top of the page, that says “Access provided by Colorado Community College System.” Also, the URL will include ccco.idm.oclc.org, which lets you know you’re logged into the CCCS subscription.
Contact a FRCC librarian?
Library staff can help you brainstorm research topics and find just the right information for your assignments. We can also help you cite your sources. Email, call, chat, make an appointment, or drop-by in person – FRCC librarians are here to support your academic goals!
