What is the library catalog

The ACC Library Catalog is a searchable list of all the books, eBooks, DVDs and streaming videos in the ACC Libraries' collection.  Visit our homepage and type your keywords in the main search bar to begin your search.  

Ways to Search

Use the catalog to search the library's collection of books, eBooks, videos and streaming media. You can limit your results to a specific kind of format. 

You can also limit by campus library or material type. Search defaults to all campus libraries, unless you choose a specific location.
