Circulation Policies

Borrowing

Members of the STCC community have full borrowing privileges at the STCC Library, located in Building 19, 2nd Floor, provided they are actively registered in the college system and their records are in good standing. 

Database access and e-content are available to all students, faculty, and staff using the following credentials:

Username:  STCC ID number 

Password: Last name in capital letters.

STCC borrowing privileges are extended to current students, faculty, and staff of the Cooperating Colleges of Greater Springfield consortia provided they have registered with their institution’s library and have library records in good standing. College library cards or IDs are required at check out. STCC students, faculty, and staff have reciprocal borrowing privileges at these institutions in accordance with their circulation policies. 

The length of time an item will circulate is dependent on the format and type of library card used to borrow. Most items circulate for one semester. Print material may also be renewed once through the library catalog or by the Circulation staff in the library.

STCC students must return all borrowed material prior to the end of each semester. Failure to do so will result in a library block placed on their college account. Blocked students do not have access to registration, grades, transcripts, certificates, or degrees.

 

Reserve Material

Reserve material is kept at the Circulation Desk.

Most items are for library use only and require a college ID to access them.

Copy machines and scanners are available for student use. 

 

Study Rooms 

Study room keys are available to groups of two or more on a first-come, first-served basis at the Circulation Desk.

College IDs are required to borrow keys.

Patrons will be required to leave their college IDs with the Circulation staff in exchange for the Study Room Key.

The keyholder is responsible for the key, group behavior, and the condition of the room.

Keys are available to STCC students, faculty, and staff members only.
