Welcome to the Stanton/Wilmington Campus Libraries Stanton and Wilmington
are two of the four campus locations of Delaware

Delaware, just a few miles apart. Each library has a collection
that supports the technologies taught at that site. The combined
holdings of Stanton and Wilmington include over 67,000 books, over
8,000 audiovisual items, and more than 700
periodicals. The
collections of all four Delaware Tech campus libraries are listed
online in the Delaware
Library Catalog. Online
databases
are provided as well. Librarians and staff are
available to assist patrons in using these and other library resources.

It is the borrower's obligation to be aware of due dates. Failure to receive an overdue notice does not excuse the borrower from returning books and paying fines. Lost
and mutilated materials must be paid for at market value, plus $10.00
handling charge per item for cataloged items. Semester
registration will not be allowed until all library obligations have
been met. A Reference Librarian
is available to advise and assist you during hours of operation.
Library computers
provide access to resources which support the
academic and educational programs of the campus. These include: Delaware Library
Catalog, online
databases/periodical indexes, MyDTCC, Blackboard
and e-mail programs. Word processing and spreadsheet programs are
also available. All library computer resources are accessible to
students, faculty and staff using their college username/password.
Other patrons may ask the librarian to log them in using a guest
account. Group study rooms, copy machines, microfilm reader/printers,
VCRs, DVD, audio cassette and CD players are some of our other
amenities. The college
participates in the Delaware
Library Catalog. This combined online library
catalog lists items not only for all four Delaware Tech campus
libraries, but
also for many public and other academic libraries in the state. Catalog records for
books, periodical
titles, audiovisual materials, etc. may be searched by
keyword, title, author, subject and more. Delaware Tech libraries use
Library of Congress subject headings and
call numbers.
Library
patrons have access
to a variety of indexes, both
print and online,
which support the academic programs offered by the campus. The purpose
of indexes/databases is to list by subject articles in journals,
magazines or newspapers. In some databases the full text of
the articles are available online and may be printed at 10 cents
per page. In other databases/indexes only a citation or abstract is
provided. The magazines or journals may be available on the library's
shelves. Check for these titles in the print Periodical Holdings List
or in the Delaware
Library Catalog.
While these periodicals may not leave the library, articles may be
photocopied for 10 cents per page. Interlibrary loan service is
available for magazines or journals not owned by the libraries.
Requests may be placed in person or online.
Patrons can place an online request for any regularly circulating item in the Delaware Library Catalog. To do so, one must have a library barcode number and PIN. This is separate from the college MyDTCC username and password. Please contact your campus library for more information. The library also provides interlibrary loan of items not listed in the Delaware Library Catalog. These requests may placed in person or online. Lending policies are dictated by the lending library and the materials are dated accordingly with overdue stipulations noted. Borrowers are urged to plan for the fact that it may take several days to obtain materials. Back to: Top
