The Durham Technical Community College Library Team is here to help you DO GREAT THINGS.

Let's talk about some ways of . . . Maximizing Your Experience!

Be prepared for anything the Library has to offer by registering before you arrive. With our easy and convenient online library card registration. Just scan the QR code or click the following link Register for a Library Card.

Once you're registered for a library card you'll have the full range of physical library resources available to you.

Need to use a database from home? Don't worry! Your Durham Tech username and password (just like for Canvas) is all you need.

**Research Assistance**
Navigating through a sea of information can be overwhelming, but our librarians are here to help! Whether you're starting a research project, need help finding credible sources, or just have a question about library resources, don't hesitate to Book-A-Librarian. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you through databases, suggest relevant books and articles, and even help you with citation styles.

**Study Rooms**
Our library offers a variety of study rooms to cater to your needs. If you're working on a group project, our group study rooms provide the perfect space to collaborate without disturbing others. For those who prefer a quieter environment, we have private study rooms where you can focus on your work in peace. Additionally, we offer quiet study areas for individual study.

**Laptop Loaner Program**
Need a laptop for the semester? Our library offers a laptop loaner program where you can check out a laptop for an entire semester, with approval. This program is designed to support students who may not have access to a personal computer. To apply, fill out this request form: Computer/Internet Assistance. Once approved, you'll have a laptop to use for your coursework, research, and other academic needs throughout the semester. While we're out right now, put yourself on the waitlist or you can apply for a low-cost computer using the same form. Big news coming out later this semester about our loaner laptop program!

**Textbooks on Reserve**
We have a selection of textbooks on reserve for in-library use only. These textbooks cover a range of subjects and are available for short-term use to ensure that all students have access to the materials they need. Simply ask at the Circulation Desk at either the Main or Orange County Campus Library to check out a reserve textbook. Remember, these books cannot leave the library, but they are a great resource for studying between classes or completing assignments.
