LC Classification
The PGCC Library uses the Library of Congress Classification System, an alphanumeric system, for classifying and locating books, videos, and other sources. This system assigns each type of item a unique call number, which is its "address" and subject matter. (For more information, refer to this page: Call Numbers)
Off-Campus Access
To access the resources off-campus (remotely) you need the following information:
Students: enter your Owl Link user ID & password.
Faculty & staff: use your network login & password.
