JSCC Library Services

Circulation

The faculty, staff and students of Jackson State are entitled to check out library materials. Find out more information about the Circulation Services of the Library. Note: The University of Memphis students at the Jackson State campus are guided by the same policy.

Interlibrary Loan

The purpose of Interlibrary Loan is to obtain materials that are not owned by the Jackson State Library and that can be obtained from other libraries. The service is offered to faculty, students and staff of Jackson State.

Reference

The Jackson State Library considers serving the student our most important mission. All staff members (including four librarians and four support staff) assist with reference duties.

For Jackson State students, staff and faculty, we offer e-mail reference service for quick questions: Ask a Reference Question

Acquisitions

Jackson State students, faculty, staff, and community patrons may use the Materials Recommendation Form to recommend books, audios, and videos.

Library Instruction

The library has a comprehensive Library Instruction program. Performing research and achieving information literacy outcomes helps students develop critical thinking and analytical skills that are essential for school, the workplace, and lifelong learning. We’re here to help faculty integrate research assignments into their curriculum and help students complete them effectively while learning vital information literacy skills.

Our instruction can be as brief or as in-depth as the class requires. Faculty may request instruction using the online Library Instruction/Class Research Visit Request Form or by calling (731) 424-3520 ext. 313.
