Maps & Parking

Library Floor Plan
Campus Map

Parking

Parking permits are required to park on campus Monday through Saturday. Daily permits are available from coin-operated dispensers located in Lots 3, 6, 11, 13, & 16 (See campus map). Cost is a $2.00 per day (quarters only). Short-term metered parking is available in Lot 6 (25¢ per 15 minutes, 2 hours maximum.) The closest parking to the library building is in Lots 1 and 2, or Lot 9 near the Student Activities Center (Bldg. 44). On the lower campus, Lot 20 by the elevator. Disabled parking is available in all lots and enforced 7 days a week. Lot 9 directly next to the Student Activities Center is the most convenient to the library.

Book Drops

There are two book drops located on campus. One is directly in front of the library building and the other in the north end of parking Lot 8. Library materials can be returned to the book drops at any time. Please return videos, CD's, and cassettes directly to the library as they can be easily damaged if placed in the book drops.

Borrowing Materials

Registration

Students All registered students are eligible to check out library materials. Students must show a current Student I.D. card or a printout from the Bursar's office as proof of registration. A photo ID, such as a driver's license, may be requested at the time materials are being checked out. Community Members Members of the community residing within the college district boundaries may borrow materials by becoming a member of the Friends of the Library. The annual fee is $12.00 and a person must be 18 years or older. Community members must show a current California driver's license or DMV identification card with a local address. A Social Security Number is also required.

Renewals and Lost Materials

Items may be renewed at the Circulation Desk in person or by telephone (245-4271, ext. 2262), if the items are not overdue and have not been requested by another person. Videos and CD's are not renewable. All questions about previously checked-out materials or current fines can also be answered by contacting the Circulation Desk. Individuals are responsible for all materials checked out under their name. Items may be renewed in person or by telephone if they are not overdue and have not been requested by another patron. Note that videos, CD's and reserves cannot be renewed. The library will send a notice as a reminder of overdue materials. Patrons will be billed for the cost of replacing any item or items, plus a processing fee for all unreturned materials. Processing fees and fines are nonrefundable. Transcripts, grades, and registration clearance will be held until your status with the library is cleared. Changes in addresses or telephone numbers must be reported to the library. A claim of failure to receive an overdue notice will not prevent an individual from being billed for fines and lost materials.

Instructor Reserves

The library maintains a collection of course reserve materials that consist of textbooks, videos, and supplemental materials related to assigned coursework. Items are kept at the Circulation Desk and are placed on reserve at the request of the instructor. The library does not purchase textbooks outside of the copies placed on reserve by instructors.

The instructor determines the loan period for reserve materials. Generally materials must be used in the library on a two-hour loan period. To find if a textbook or other materials are available for your class, search the library catalog under Reserve Desk. It is best to search by Course Number (ex. ENGL 101) in that an instructor other than yours may have placed the book on reserve.

IEALC Cards

VVC students who are registered with the library may apply for an IEALC (Inland Empire Academic Libraries Cooperative) card at the circulation desk. The purpose of the card is to provide students borrowing privileges from other member libraries for special research needs that extend beyond the resources of the VVC collection. The card is available only to students; faculty and staff are not included in the agreement. Students are solely responsible for all borrowed materials and must abide by the local lending rules of each library. Contact the Circulation Desk (245-4271, ex.2262) for further information.

Photocopy Machines

Black & white photocopy machines are available in Room 208 on the upper floor of the library. Copies are 10¢ a page or 7¢ with a copy card. Cards may be purchased from a vending machine in the copy room for an initial cost of $1.00 (50¢ is automatically deducted for the cost of the card). You can increase the amount on the card by placing it in the same machine and adding dollars. The same card can be used indefinitely.

Microfiche/film reader-printers are also available on the upper floor of the library. There is a 10¢ per page fee for printed copies. Dimes only.

Study Rooms

Five study rooms are available on the lower floor for groups of 2 to 6. Room 211 on the upper floor is available for groups of 4 or more. One member of the group must sign up at the Circulation Desk. Rooms may be reserved for up to 3 hours and up to 1 week in advance. No food or drink is allowed in the library.

Library Computers

There are 12 computers with Internet access and 19 computers for accessing the library catalog. Internet accessible computers are limited to student library research purposes only. Email, chat rooms, games, etc. are prohibited. Printing from all computers is currently free. Students who are taking online courses or have online assignments as part of their class should use the computers in the Academic Commons (Bldg. 40). Computer workstations for word processing and other applications are also available in the Academic Commons. For further information please refer to the library's Computer and Electronic Resources Use Policy.
