Distance Education
The following services are available for our distance education students:
LOIS (the Library Catalog):
Access the catalog to look for books and other materials owned by the Los
Rios libraries. Establish a PIN
to request books from other Los Rios libraries, place holds on books currently
checked out (except for Reserve books), renew the books they have checked
out (one time only online) and access the electronic databases.
Databases:
An Access / Library Card number and PIN are required to access these
databases off campus. Distance education students may request their
Access / Library Card number by completing an online
form.
Electronic Reserves:
Patrons who have established a PIN for their library account may access
some of their course readings through the LOIS library catalog. Adobe
Acrobat Reader is required to view items in PDF format. We cannot provide
everything electronically, so you will need to check the catalog for your
course to see what is available online. To check for electronic resources,
look in LOIS for your course either
by course name or instructor name. If any of items show the phrase “Click
on Title for Electronic Copy” then click on the title. You will be asked for
your library card barcode number and PIN before the document opens. For more
information, refer to the FAQs.
