Search the SCC collection of 42,000+ print books, 170,000 eBooks and 18,000 streaming films from the library homepage. Also search MOBIUS (30 million books) and request books from other colleges and universities. If you are unable to find a resource neither in the SCC collection nor in the MOBIUS, request it from other libraries through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) form.
