Services for Faculty & Staff
The Shatford Library offers a variety of services for PCC faculty and staff including borrowing priviledges, reference and research services and interlibrary loan. Please contact the Library Dean, Mary Ann Laun (626) 585-7833, if you have questions or would like to request a service not listed below.
Library Orientations:
Faculty are encouraged to bring their classes to the Library for one or more Library Orientations taught by a librarian. Sessions cover paper and electronic resources and can be general or subject/assignment specific. Instructor must be present at the orientation session. To make a request, contact Dorothy Potter (626) 585-7846 or fill out the online Orientation Request Form.
Faculty Reserves:
Personal copies of items can be placed on Faculty Reserves, located behind the Library's Circulation Desk. To place items on Faculty Reserves please see our Personal Copy Reserves page or contact Jared Burton (626) 585-7843. Students can check our Faculty Reserve items for a time period specified by the instructor and are charged $1.00 per hour if not returned on time.
The Library does own one copy of many textbooks (Library Use Only / located in the Library lobby). Due to budget constraints the Library suspended purchasing new editions in Spring 2009. We would love to have copies available for students! Additional copies donated by departments or instructors are always welcome! Faculty are encouraged to work with their librarian Division Liaison to ensure the Library has the resources required or recommended by a class.
Borrowing Guidelines:
Faculty and staff have the same borrowing rules as students, but are not charged overdue fines and have a loan period of 6 weeks for general collection items. You will need your PCC LancerCard with you in order to check out materials. If a book is lost or damaged, you are obligated to pay our replacement cost for the item plus a $10.00 processing fee.
Reciprocal Borrowing Agreements & Interlibrary Loan:
PCC employees and PCC Students with a valid LancerCard and current registration print-out can obtain a library card and check books out from the Cal State LA Library and Glendale Community College Library . All public libraries have universal borrowing policies, which means anyone can obtain a card. Use WorldCat to search other libraries' collections simultaneously. If an item is not available in our vicinity, you can request it via Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Fill out an ILL form at the Reference Desk or submit the online Interlibrary Loan Form. Contact Mane Hakopyan (626) 585-7835 if you have additional questions about ILL.
Reference Assistance:
Please visit the Reference Desk on the main floor of the Library, call the Reference Desk (626) 585-7360, or fill out our online form for reference/research assistance. Also, take a look at our Research Guides by Subject and Research Tutorials that could be useful for you and your students.
Periodical Database Access:
Faculty and staff can access the periodical databases from on or off campus via the Library's web site. From off campus, you will need to log in using your PCC campus Network ID and Password (which is what you use to log in to campus network computers and to access your Pegasus e-mail account). If you do not have a Network ID and Password, please contact the HelpDesk, Building D Room 112 (626) 585-7523.
