San Jose Public Library

Students: as residents of California, you have access to the resources availble at San Jose Public Library, including the print books and periodicals at San Jose State. Search the SJPL catalog and have books transferred to your nearest SJPL branch*.

*To check out books at SJPL you will need to obtain a SJPL library card.

Library Card

To check out resources or access articles and ebooks off campus, you must have an EVC student ID card. 

If you do not have a student ID card, you may pick one up at Admissions and Records.

Transferring

Transferring Books from SJCC

 

If you are searching the catalog and find that the book you need is located at SJCC, you may:

  • Transfer the book to the EVC library, which takes 3-4 days. To do this write down the title, author, year, call number and ask to have the book tranferred at the front desk. You will need your student ID card with you.
  • Go to SJCC and check out the book with your EVC student ID card.
