What do I need to check out books from the Library?

Your ACC student ID card is also your library card. You can obtain a student  ID card from Campus Police in Room M2630. You will need this card to check materials out of the Library, view audio/visual materials, check out laptops to be used in the Library, and check out reserve items.

Where can I find the usernames and passwords for the databases?

Databases can be accessed from any on-campus computer without the use of usernames or passwords. For off-campus access, you will find the usernames and passwords on the Library tab in myACC under the heading Research Databases in the middle column. A sheet with all the database usernames and passwords can also be picked up in the Library.
