Please verify in our catalog beforehand that we do not previously own what you are requesting unless you are requesting a second copy.
The library has a comprehensive Library Instruction program. Performing research and practicing information literacy techniques help students develop critical thinking and analytical skills that are essential for school, the workplace, and lifelong learning.
We're here to help faculty integrate research assignments into their curriculum and help students complete them effectively while learning vital information literacy skills.
To schedule a Library Instruction session, please use our online Library Instruction Request.
The faculty, staff and students of Jackson State Community College are entitled to check out library materials. The University of Memphis students at the Jackson State Center and the University of Tennessee at Martin students on the Jackson State campus are guided by the same policy. Members of the community can also check out library materials.
Identification cards issued to full-time students are used as library cards. These cards are usually obtained during the registration process.
First-time community borrowers are required to fill out a guest card and to present at least one type of identification, preferably a driver's license.
Materials may not be renewed if requested by another patron. The library reserves the right to recall immediately any materials needed by JSCC students or faculty.
Students enrolled in courses off-campus are entitled to the same privileges as on-campus students. Materials may be mailed to them, if requested.
Overdue notices are sent to borrowers as a courtesy or reminder. However, any student having materials overdue at the end of the semester will have his or her grades withheld until the materials are paid for or returned.
The borrower is responsible for returning all library materials promptly and in good condition. Otherwise, the borrower will be charged for the loss or damage of a book. If a borrower finds a lost book (for which he/she has already paid) and returns it within a year and in good condition, the money will be refunded to the borrower.
Established in 1967 alongside the college's opening, the library later added a second story in 1972 as the college grew. The college has been home to three librarians since it's opening, with Ms. Henrietta Henderson serving as the first library director until 1968 when Mr. Van Veatch took over. Following Veatch's retirement in 1991, Scott Cohen became the 3rd Library Director, continuing to build the library’s legacy during his 50+ year tenure.
