Virtual Reference Services

       The SICC Library provides a wide variety of open resources and free databases into the Digital and Virtual Libraries, especially this time of the pandemic. The List of SICC Library Holdings is also provided for our faculty and students to search specific materials and other references to support instruction and research. The Virtual Reference Services are initiated electronically via the internet to serve faculty and students who are outside the physical confines of the library facility.
