The
Doris Johnson Library, named for the college’s head
librarian, is housed in the Hogan-Steward Learning
Center, located west of the campus entrance. The
library is a 5,000-sq. ft. facility that was
constructed in 1974 and was remodeled in 1988 to
include an additional 1,800 sq. ft. The renovation
provided additional shelving space for an expanding
collection. The collection contains over 26,000
volumes, and subscriptions to over 190 nationally
recognized magazines, journals and newspapers. In
addition, the collection includes microform, CD-ROMs,
audio/visual equipment and materials, reference
resources and electronic databases to support and
enhance the learning opportunities available at the
college. All library holdings are protected by the 3M
Anti-Theft security system. The library is staffed by
two experienced professional librarians, who are
committed to providing convenient access to all
materials for all patrons. Having an open-stack policy
is the key to providing patrons with unlimited access
to all library materials and resources. Library
materials are arranged in the Dewey Decimal system, an
alphanumeric cataloging system.
Special
collections in the Doris Johnson Library include the
extensive Bible and Religious Studies holdings, that
support the institution’s Bachelor of Science and Arts
Degree in that discipline. Since SwCC is a Historical
Black College (HBC), a special section called the
African American Studies Collection has also been
successfully developed. The SwCC library has a fully
automated circulation system as well as an online
public access catalog (OPAC), which provides users
with a quick and convenient guide to access all
holdings in the library collection. In order to
furnish materials and resources to students and
faculty members of SwCC, the Doris Johnson Library
provides the following services:
