Suffolk University Students Taking Courses at Cape Cod Community College

Suffolk students at Cape Cod Community College are full-fledged members of the Suffolk Community and have all the same privileges as on-campus students. Because of the distance from Boston, we will try to provide as much information as we can through the web, the U.S. mail and services through the CCCC library.

• You will receive a Suffolk University ID through the mail. If you come to the Sawyer Library to borrow materials, you will be asked to exchange this ID for one with a picture. This is done through the University Police in the security booth on Level 2 of the Sawyer Building. This is the only library card recognized on campus. This card will provide other benefits such as discounts available with a student ID.

• Information about the Sawyer Library is provided from computers in the Library Reference Room and from the computer lab on the CCCC campus. Web access to Suffolk’s databases arranged by subject is available from home at http://www.suffolk.edu/sawlib/oncampdb.htm. To access the online databases you will need to input your name and student ID number, (not your barcode number). The student ID number can also be found on your registration form, bill, etc. If you experience any difficulties accessing these databases through our proxy server, please consult our off-campus troubleshooting page.

• Because of the distance from Boston we will provide materials available at the Sawyer Library. Students may use Web-based forms to request journal articles and/or books from the Sawyer Library.

• Information about titles, both books and journals, is available through the Suffolk on-line catalog. And to check whether there is an electronic access to a particular journal, consult our Full-Text Search Engine. Materials will be shipped via the Library Regional Truck delivery or mailed to the CCCC library and you will be notified when they have arrived. Periodical articles are yours to keep. Books and other circulating items will be checked out to you and must be returned to Sawyer Library by the due date.  Return items to CCCC Library for shipment back. Overdue books will be charged a substantial fine that will be added to your bill. You will receive a credit when the book is returned, but a $5.00 processing fee is non-refundable.

• You will be able to renew books for an additional 28 day period through the Renew Your Books option of the Archer OPAC (online catalog). Note: All circulating books are subject to recall by another user, when needed, after two weeks. If recalled, or put "on hold" by another user, a book may not be renewed.

• Reference librarians at Sawyer library will attempt to answer informational questions sent via e-mail to sawlib@suffolk.edu
