Welcome to Austin Community College Libraries! This guide is designed to help you find resources and learn more about the services of ACC Libraries. College and university libraries in the United States encourage independent use of library materials. Librarians teach students to use library resources through one-on-one instruction, library tutorials, guides, and library instruction sessions requested by professors for their courses. Here are some services we offer:
When you visit the library, make sure to bring your student ID card to check out materials |
Since many of the library's resources are online, you will be searching the library's databases to find the material and information you need.
Some of the databases for finding newspaper, magazine, and journal articles can be searched in several different languages. The search interface, with instructions and links will be in the language you have chosen. Search results will be in English.
Below is a list of some of the databases that allow you to search in the language of your choice. Depending on the database, you will choose English or Languages to open the menu of language choices.
HTML (text) articles in EBSCOhost and a few other databases can be listened to and translated.
Ask a librarian whenever you need help with research, need information, or want to learn how to use library resources. Librarians are available at the Reference Desk during the hours the library is open. The Get Help tab above is available on all library guides and will take you to the page that lists all the ways you can get help from librarians, in person, online, and by phone.
A Multilingual Glossary developed by the American Library Association defines common library terms. The Language Table presents a list of library terms in six languages: English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, Spanish, and Arabic. This list of terms provides definitions in English.
