New Title Lists

Off Campus

Registered students and College employees have access to the Columbia College Library's databases from off-campus. When accessing our electronic resources from off-campus you will be prompted to authenticate using your Columbia College Single Sign-On (SSO) login, which is the same thing you use to access Canvas. 

Textbooks on Reserve

The Library has a large percentage of the textbooks on reserve. Most books are for 2 hours, library use only, however, there are a number of important exceptions:

  • When we have multiple copies of a textbook the additional copies are available for 24-hour loan.
  • Textbooks checked out after 4 pm (11 am on Fridays) are due back the next morning at 9 am.
  • EOPS and Promise Scholarship students are eligible to check out specific textbooks for an entire semester.

Search our Course Reserves for a title or call the library at (209) 588-5119 for assistance.

Oral History Series

The Columbia College Library's Oral History Series is a collection of interviews about the rich history of the Mother Lode. The interviews in the collection were originally recorded between 1949 and 1992, primarily through the Introduction to Oral History course taught at the college by history professor Richard L. Dyer, but new interviews are being added regularly. These interviews provide a vital link to the history of our community.

In 2016 we introduced a new Oral History website that has been viewed by people throughout the state.
