Daytona State College Library

Falcons, don't forget to return any library items you checked out over summer! Check your car, backpack, and room for any missing books or movies. If you have any questions, give us a call or stop by the library to speak with a library staff member! If you have a textbook return, that goes to the DSC Bookstore!

August's library display is focused on professional development and learning new skills! Whether it's your major or a dream job, it's always important to keep your skills sharp! Swing by today and check out one of these helpful books!

Hey everyone! Your friendly neighborhood librarian is back with more frequently asked questions! This week's question is can non-students use library services and spaces?

The answer is yes! Residents of Volusia of Flagler counties that can provide a photo ID are allowed to check out materials through a Community Patron Account. Community Patrons can use library spaces and the guest WiFi but cannot use the computers or study rooms, as those require a student ID to reserve.

Have any questions? Drop them in the comments or reach out to our library so a library staff member can answer them!

Calling all manga and graphic novel fans! We have repurposed the library's magazine shelf racks to display a ton of your favorite mangas/graphic novels. If it's a series with multiple volumes, you can lift up the shelf to grab the next book you need! Don't see your favorite manga? Stop by the library to give your recommendation or fill out our Materials Recommendation form located on the library website. Happy reading, Falcons!

Hello everyone! Your friendly neighborhood librarian is here with another FAQ post!

This week's question is the following: what is a library database, and what materials do they have?

The answer is a library database is an online collection of curated, published materials across different subjects. The materials are high-quality and peer-reviewed. They include academic journal articles, e-books, magazines, and newspapers. The DSC library offers 80+ databases that can be accessed via our website which is library.daytonastate.edu!

If you ever get stuck accessing the databases, our team of librarians are here to help! Contact us via phone, chat, email, or swing by the library in person for help!
