At the end of Fri., Jun 10, the 4200 and 4300 floors of the Ray W. Howard Library, aka 4000 Building, will be closed to patrons until September.
The Library will relocate its service desk to the PUB room 9203 for Summer 2016 quarter, where our hours will be 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday while classes are in session. We will have course reserves (print and media) on-site, and limited ability to page items out of the 4000 Building. The desk will be staffed by at least one circulation expert and one reference librarian at all times. We are always available via Ask A Librarian, our reference chat service, and we’ll take your questions from voice mail and email as quickly as can be.
During renovation, Tutoring Services will be operating primarily in room 1103. Below is the list of temporary venues where students can find the help they need from all of us:
Tutoring Services: 1103
Library service desk: 9203, the PUB Fishbowl
Math Learning Center: 2202
The Writing and Learning Studio: 1504
A college service often associated with the Library is the production and maintenance of Shoreline Community College ID cards. Beginning June 13, those duties will be transferred to the Bookstore, located on the bottom floor of the PUB (9000 building). For students, a copy of their current class schedule and evidence of photo identification (passport, drivers license, etc.) remain the standards for obtaining a new ID card, updating a current one, or replacing a lost one.
Put the Library to work for understanding the world of information, this summer and on into the future!
Have a great Summer 2016 –

Shoreline Community College is about to launch a refreshed design of its website, www.shoreline.edu. As early as Tuesday, you could see a brand new site. From the homepage, at the very top, will be a link to the current students page and the new class schedule.
For current students, the greatest impact may come from the class schedule. It will be easier to use and provide new features. Course listings will have direct links to an instructor’s contact information and office location via Google maps.
The new look will be geared towards helping prospective students easily find the educational pathway that fits their aspirations. Additionally, the site will automatically transform itself to fit whatever device a visitor uses to access it.
The new homepage will feature three main sections highlighting 1.) educational pathways, 2.) student support services and 3.) opportunities for engagement between the college and local community. Each section can expand to reveal related navigation options, a relevant news story and buttons that allow communication with the college.
Variations of the new design were shown to prospective students from several area high schools. Their feedback played a key role in determining the final design. The company that provided the design also visited campus to hold “town hall” events and focus group meetings to further inform development.
“We’re just so excited to launch the new website,” said Mary Bruggeman, Vice President of Advancement and Executive Director of the SCC Foundation. “We’re eager to provide a tool that improves our service to students and makes it easier for the community to engage with the college.”
