Library and Research Services

CCC does not have a physical library, but you do have access to professional-grade research tools that most students do not discover until they need them. Through your enrollment, you can search academic databases, access full-text articles and digital resources, and connect with a librarian who can help you find what you need and use it well. If you need a physical library, CCC's partnership with Northern Arizona University gives you full access to NAU's Cline Library in Flagstaff.

Your CCC Librarian

You do not have to figure out research on your own. CCC's librarian can help you choose the right databases, develop effective search strategies, evaluate sources, and cite your work correctly. Whether you need help getting started or are stuck in the middle of a project, reach out. That is exactly what the librarian is here for. [CONTACT]
