LAMP – RCCD Library’s Web site @ http://library.rcc.edu ... "Lighting Our Way To Success!"

From LAMP, access RCCD Library’s many electronic databases and much more information too.
LAMP and its electronic resources are available to anyone, anywhere connected to the Internet.
- When connecting from off campus to our electronic resources (except for the Library Catalog), you’ll be asked for a user ID and password – to authenticate that you’re a registered student at RCCD or an RCCD staff or faculty member.
- Your USER ID = your 7-digit student ID number (or your staff or faculty ID)
- Your PASSWORD = the first letter of your first name and up to six letters of your last name (if your last name is less than six letters, then use your entire last name).

2) THESE HELP TOO

PRINT/COPY CARD

Buy yours with a $1 bill from vending machines in the Photocopy Centers (2^nd & 3^rd Floors, West Wing).
NOTE: the first $0.50 of this $1 is for the card itself, leaving you $.50 worth of copies on the card; keep the card like a credit card to add value to it, and when doing so you get full value for each $1 (or more) that you add to the card.
