The Library supports the institutional purpose of VC by providing a comprehensive and quality collection of print and electronic resources serving the informational needs of all students, faculty, and staff.
Print and E-book Collections: The Vernon College Library System maintains book collections on campus and at all major center locations with over 28,000 volumes housed at the Wright Library in Vernon. Collections include reference selections and general circulating titles supporting all academic areas. Distance learners and remote students attending other VC locations may request and obtain books from any instructional location via the Interlibrary Loan Request Form accessible from the Library home page at http://vernoncollege.edu/library. Students may also submit an interlibrary loan request to obtain books and other materials unavailable within the VC Library System. E-books are conveniently accessible off campus from the library’s online catalog.
On-Campus and Remote Access to Online Databases: Remote research options are essential in meeting the informational needs of all VC students, including on-site and distance learners. The Library provides on-campus as well as remote access to a quality selection of databases offering full text access to journals, newspaper articles, reference materials, career resources, and other information sources. Researchers may log-in with a Vernon College Student ID Number and “PIN” from any internet connection to search databases remotely. Computer workstations at all locations facilitate electronic research, word processing, and other software applications.
Reference Services: The Library offers numerous reference services to assist students in accessing and using informational resources. Services include research guides, online tutorials, an orientation, weekly webinars, and a live (chat) reference service conveniently accessible via the “Ask the Librarian” link on the home page.
TexShare Card Program: A TexShare Card entitles the holder to full borrowing privileges and services offered by participating academic and public libraries throughout Texas including the Moffett Library at Midwestern State University. Students may request a card at any VC library location.
