e-book central
A digital collection of ebooks in a super-wide range of subject areas. This one is a librarian go-to for fast access to a great collection.

Looking for a physical book or textbook? If you can't find what you're looking for, please ask a librarian for help.

books Search our shared catalog with Napa County Public & Napa Valley College libraries:

Link+
gives you access to materials throughout California and Nevada libraries (academic, public, and special libraries).

See the Link+ FAQ page at: http://solano.edu/library/linkplus/linkplus_faq.php

Textbooks & Reserve Materials
All our reserve materials (textbooks, calculators & laptops, chromebooks, kits [bones/minerals], etcetera) are available for checkout.

Films on Demand
A streaming video database that covers nearly every academic discipline; among the producers included are National Geographic, HBO, TED, Frontline, PBS, BBC, and more.
ARTstor
An image database full of images from some of the world's leading museums, photo archives, scholars, and artists.

The library also has a streaming film service called SWANK available for students and faculty as well, but the process to view these films is unique. Please email erin.duane@solano.edu with questions.

Chat With a Librarian

Librarian Chat is available 24/7; you may get assistance from a librarian at a different school & a SCC librarian may follow up via email.

Outside of these hours, e-ref chat is available and will be staffed by non-Solano College librarians. If your question requires a Solano College librarian, please email scclibrary@solano.edu and one of us will respond within 24 hours.
When the chat session ends, you can request that a transcript of the chat be emailed to you.
