Service Alert
If they are BCC Library materials and no one else has requested them, you are welcome to renew. You can send us an email (bcclrc@brunswickcc.edu), give us a call (910-755-7331), or stop by the Circulation Desk and say that you want to renew your items. If they are interlibrary loan (ILL) items, however, the lending library determines whether they will allow a renewal or not. So please check with library staff to determine whether your ILL items are eligible for renewal. For more information about borrowing, please visit our Borrowing page.
All items (BCC or ILL) can be returned directly to library staff, the book drop in the Circulation Desk, or the blue 24/7 book drop located outside Building A on the ground floor.
As of July 1, 2022, we are now fine-free! No more fines for overdue materials, which is an important step to a more equitable and accessible library. For more information on what this all means for our users, in real terms, please visit our Borrowing page.
Unfortunately, Chrome negatively interferes with networked printing systems so IT had to remove it from our library student computers in order to solve our persistent printing issues. We apologize for this inconvenience! But reliable printing in the library really requires it.
You can access Google Docs through any browser, including the library's preferred browser: Firefox. Simply click on this link (https://www.google.com/docs/about/) and sign in with your Google Docs login.
We ask that you sign in at the Circulation Desk iPads every time you come to the library to use one of our library student computers by completing the Computer Usage form. Your doing this for each new computer session helps us to paint a picture of computer usage for our library stats. The more accurate our usage count, the more likely we will be able to get new and updated computer hardware from administration when we need it!
Consult the A-Z Database List and click on the desired database. BCC Students/Faculty/Staff and BCECHS students, choose the BCC Email Address option, then -- on the resulting Office 365 page -- log in with your full BCC email address and current password. BCECHS Faculty/Staff and BCC community patrons, enter your BCC Library card number (located on the back of your BCC ID) in the field under the No BCC Email Address option. If you don't have a BCC ID, please get in touch with a member of the library staff (bcclrc@brunswickcc.edu) and she can give you a temporary workaround. For more information, please see this blog post (https://brunswickcc.libguides.com/blog/Single-Sign-on-Is-Here).
We are sorry this is happening! Please let us know, using the EZ Proxy Problems form, and we will get working on a fix with the IT Department right away (or as soon as possible once we reopen). If after hours, and you are in desperate need of a database for an assignment, please start a chat with Chatstaff (teal teardrop button in the top right corner of this page) and they should be able to give you a temporary password to access NC LIVE resources.
All BCC students are required to have IDs. This is especially important if you want to check out library books or DVDs. If you don't have one (or have lost it), please visit the library to get a new one today! IDs are made at the Circulation Desk during business hours and, currently, there is no charge for replacement IDs.
As a BCC student, you are entitled to fifty (double-sided) free prints a day. These prints are non-transferable. Anything over fifty prints a day, we ask that you pay ten cents a page, payable in cash at the Circulation Desk. By honoring this printing system, BCC students keep student printing costs low and affordable for all -- for more information about printing, please visit our Computers & Printing page.
The printer you want to use for all library student computers is: ECOSYS (aka Kyocera). If you are trying to print from Google Docs, you probably won't see this printer option; the best thing to do is download your document as a DOCX or PDF file and then print from that program. If the application you are using doesn't show our printer by default, please select ECOSYS (aka Kyocera) from the dropdown menu before sending your job to the printer. Never hesitate to consult with library staff at the Circulation Desk for assistance with all issues, including printing problems, though -- we are always happy to help!
We are excited to report that we now have wireless printing set up in the library -- finally! No more having to use a flash drive or emailing documents to yourself so you can bring the files up on our library machines (although those two options definitely still do work, if you prefer)! In order to print from your personal device while in the library, you'll need to log on to the "DIRECT-hmLibraryPrint-wifi" wireless network -- library staff can give you the password. Once you are on, you'll print to the ECOSYS P3050dn printer that is located behind the Circulation Desk. Your personal device should remember the network after you log on the first time (and the password shouldn't change), so we are hoping this enhancement will make printing in the library a lot easier for all!
Unfortunately, no -- you will need to use our photocopier, which is managed by an external vendor and not BCC. Hard copies are ten cents per side; the machine takes coins and bills. Alternatively, you can make PDF scans for free, on the photocopier, if you use a flash drive (remember, we often have flash drives you can borrow at the Circulation Desk!). You can then bring those PDFs up on a library student computer and send them to our printer, tapping into your fifty free prints a day.
Yes, finally! The library now has a color printer. Color printouts are 25 cents a page, payable by cash/check at the desk or by credit card with the Business Office; please be aware that student free prints are not applicable. Send your files to bcclrc@brunswickcc.edu and work with library staff at the Circulation Desk to produce your print jobs. For more information, please visit our Computers & Printing page.
This is because we have limited trash removal during the day and want to keep the library fresh and clean for all (and to avoid pest problems, which no one wants!). Food can be eaten in the Circulation Desk area at the front of the library, where our events usually occur. But if you bring food past the posted signs in the library, you will be asked to relocate to the front of the library or to keep your food at the Circulation Desk until you are ready to leave (we promise we won't eat it while you are studying!).
The library offers a variety of bookable spaces that can be used by students, faculty/staff, and community patrons. Spaces can be booked online, via our LibCal system, or with library staff at the Circulation Desk. For more information about booking rooms, please visit our Rooms page.
We're sorry this keeps happening to you! We would be frustrated, too. In situations like these, please consult with library staff at the Circulation Desk. Unfortunately, the library does not have the staffing power to monitor these rooms as actively as we would like to. But we are always able to help on an as-needed basis with every library issue that may arise (let us be the bad guys!); we will happily inform the room squatter that it is time to make way for the next booking. Coming to the desk and asking for help, though, are necessary steps in that process.
Yes! BCC students should select the BCC_Students network from the available list and then log in with their BCC username and password; BCC faculty and staff should select the BCC_Employees network and then log in with their BCC username and password; visitors should select the BCC_Guest network and then log in with the password that library staff at the Circulation Desk provide you.
