Guide to Library Resources

This guide is intended to help you get familiar with CCSF Library resources.

The library can help you:

• define or adjust your research topic
• find sources (such as articles, books, magazines, and videos) for your projects
• formulate a citation (or reference)
• and more!

Use the navigation tabs on the side of this guide to learn more about your library access.

Remote Access

An active RAM ID (student ID number) and RAM ID password is required for off-campus access to CCSF Library subscription resources and databases, including online articles, streaming video, and e-books. When accessing these resources from off-campus, users will be prompted to log in with RAM ID, then will be able to view resources as if they are on-campus.

Assistance

Email reference is available Monday through Friday during the Fall and Spring semesters. We try to respond within two days.

Chat with a librarian, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, unless the librarian is probably helping someone else. Or schedule an online research appointment to meet with a librarian for in-depth help with your research.
