DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION:


The Library and Information Resources Department at Santa Rosa Junior College provides a diverse array of instructional support services district­wide. There are two library facilities: Doyle Library at the Santa Rosa campus and Mahoney Library at the Petaluma campus. Instructional collections  include  over 380,000 books and e­books, over 40 online databases and a discovery search interface. The library instructional program teaches a one-unit course, both online and face-to-face, that emphasizes instruction in the areas of information literacy. There are over 900 students enrolled per semester, and faculty librarians teach all classes. Librarians perform workshops that instruct students in the use of individual databases or special citation tool software, and they collaborate with instructional faculty to create course integrated instruction sessions for students. In addition, both libraries maintain research services that are staffed by faculty librarians. These services include day, evening, weekend, and extended hour shifts. Library Department website
