Welcome Back to the Spring semester at Harper College!

Be sure to stop in at the Library to get an early start on your research!  Access the Library website for a variety of research tools.  If you are looking for books, search the Harper Library catalog.  If we don’t have the particular book you are looking for, try the I-Share catalog.  To order materials through I-Share you must create your own account.  To find journal, magazine or newspaper articles use one of the databases such as Academic Search Complete.

   Don’t forget your ID!  You’ll need it to check materials out and to print.

New in the Library this semester are an additional 12 computers for your research use.   All the computers are first come, first serve and all have access to the Internet and Microsoft Office applications. Laptops are also available for student checkout within the Library.

Attention new students (or returning students who do not have a Harper ID–you know who you are!): you can now get a Harper ID issued right here in the library. Stop by the circulation desk on the first floor to take your ID photo and have your ID issued within minutes. This is a new service, and will take place on Tuesday, May 25, Thursday, May 27, Tuesday, June 1, and Thursday, June 3 from 10am-4pm. This’ll save you the trek you normally would have had to take to get to the Box Office in J Building. There haven’t been any lines at all, so stop by the library to get your ID issued!
