LIBRARY
The Russell H.

lifelong learning in the community. Named for the College's second
president, the library supports the philosophy and curriculum of the
College by providing materials in all subject fields taught. The
collection presently includes 28,000 books, 85 current periodicals, and
3,216 documents on microfilm. Online resources, accessible on campus,
include an online catalog, numerous indexes to general and professional
literature, accessed from the library web site
www.coffeyville.edu
with links to additional resources and information about the library.
The facility is
located at the heart of the College campus and offers an attractive
study environment, from quiet carrels to comfortable reading areas. The
staff of a librarian and assistants is trained to help students locate
and use the resources of the library, to use e-mail and the Internet and
to provide inter-library loan when requested. The collection and
services of the Graham Library are enriched by the proximity and
cooperation of the Coffeyville Public Library across the street from the
campus.
The first floor
of the library contains reference books, current periodicals, daily
newspaper subscriptions, audiovisual materials and the online resources
including computer workstations, designed as an information commons.
The library's second floor houses the circulating book collection, the
children's book collection, the College archives, and study carrels.
Books, arranged in Dewey decimal order, check out for 21 days. Failure
to return library materials will result in a hold placed on the
student's record that will block future enrollment or release of
transcripts until the library obligation is met. If library material is
lost, the cost of the item plus a $20 service charge will be assessed.
The Media
Center, adjacent to the Graham Library, provides services to the
College and the community, including tape dubbing, lamination and
identification cards. It supports the faculty through scheduling and
delivery of audiovisual services and equipment.
The
Katherine Hahn-Smith Archives Room, created in 2002 by a donation
from a generous alumnus of the College's second graduating class,
contains the College archives and provides access to material by
appointment with the library staff.
PARKING
Parking for
students is located adjacent to each campus. Students are asked to
register their vehicles with the Business Office at the respective
campuses. Resident students also will find ample parking near the
Residence Halls on the main campus. The convenience of parking is just
one small example of CCC's commitment to provide access to the
community.

Course Schedule is published approximately six weeks prior to the end of
the previous term. Special courses and continuing education courses may
