Library search has changed


Library search has changed, bringing books, media, and database holdings to a one-search option.

The DCCCD libraries’ launched a new integrated library management system in June, creating a new way to search for materials.

The library catalog link on the Richland College Library home page will take students into the Primo search interface, which brings together library holdings for a one-stop search.

Richland students may search for books, media, database articles, newspaper articles, ebooks, and more, depending on information needs. Students – and professors – are encouraged to log into the library search screen at the beginning of their searches to take full advantage of new features.

Registered students will log in with district email, while district employees will use their 3X4 logins already in use.

Search is set to default to physical books and media at students' individual campus libraries; the drop down menu offers broader options.

Please contact your liaison librarian with any questions or to set up classroom orientations.
