Does Coastline have a physical Library?
No. The Coastline Library resources are 100% online so we don't have a physical Library. If you are looking for a place to study, you can do that in one of the Student Success Centers . Need some Research or Library help?
Librarians can work with students via:
How do I use the online library?
Does the Library have my textbook?
Not if you are looking for a physical textbook. The online library does have links to some textbooks if a class has a free DIGITAL textbook. To find classes with free textbooks see the video: How to find classes with free textbooks. To search the Library Catalog to see if there is a link to your textbook go to the Library Catalog and type in your class name (example = ENGL C100).
I need research help!
No problem. The Library can help you with research for your Coastline classes. You can Ask a Librarian for help or help yourself through the CoastlineLIBRARY YouTube channel, the Library Workshops in Canvas, or study guides on our research help page. A Librarian is a "trained research professional" and can help you with quick questions or in-depth research needs. How can we help you?
Can someone help me with citing my sources so that I don’t plagiarize?
We recommend doing Coastline’s MLA or APA Advanced workshop to learn about the steps for correctly citing sources in your essays. You can also get individualized help with citations through the Student Success Center, which offers online tutoring and help checking your work.
How can I get copies of magazine articles for a report I'm writing?
Coastline has subscriptions to a lot of Academic Databases that have just what you need. Access the Academic Databases by visiting our ebooks & Databases webpage.
