Library

OCC’s Library houses a permanent collection comprised of more than 100,000 books, periodicals, videos and audiocassettes. Students also have access to the Library’s online catalogue and full-text databases, as well as resources in the Cal-West Consortium for materials not owned by the College. The Library offers a variety of places to study, including lounge areas, individual carrels, and group study rooms, and there are always extended hours around finals week. OCC’s Library also is the home base for the non-profit Friends of the Orange Coast College Library, which raises funds for the Library and awards an annual scholarship.
