Scott Library Information & Resources

Our collection features non-fiction and fiction, literary classics, children’s books, magazines, professional periodicals, test prep, supplemental learning materials, DVDs, and more. You can also access thousands of ebooks and eAudio books. 

In addition, EICC students have full access to all libraries and resources within the RiverShare system. In most cases, that includes the library down the street from where you live and work. Check out the 21 branch libraries available to you.

If you can’t find something in our library or the RiverShare system, place an interlibrary loan request. Between OCLC World Cat and Iowa’s SILO lending program, we’ll do our best to get what you need – at no charge. 

Library staff can show you how to access and use digital databases, guide you on best practices for citing research (MLA, APA, and Chicago), as well as basic Microsoft Suite applications (Word, PowerPoint, and Excel).  

Just ask when you’re in the library or schedule a 30-minute one-on-one appointment with an SCC librarian or learning resource specialist.
