Library services provide information services to students, faculty, and staff in support of the college curriculum and to the local community as a resource for lifelong learning. The mission of library services is to provide the college community with access to information, ideas, and environments needed to strengthen teaching and learning. Currently, library services are a unique and collaborative effort between Clinton Community College and SUNY Plattsburgh’s Benjamin F. Feinberg Library.
At Feinberg Library, Clinton students, faculty, and staff will have full access to a wealth of services and materials – including a physical collection of over 200,000 volumes. Librarians from both institutions are available to assist in selecting and locating materials and electronic resources. Feinberg Library’s space provides ample opportunity for studying and doing schoolwork -- especially during the evening hours and on the weekends -- including 30 private study carrels, several group study rooms, a family and lactation study room, and 100 computer stations. Clinton’s archives are also housed in the Special Collections department of Feinberg Library.
Clinton maintains its own textbook reserve collection and its own collection of electronic materials, including more than 100 individual databases that provide access to millions of resources. These include academic journal articles, eBooks, magazines, journals, newspapers, and streaming videos. Clinton librarians are also available by request for course-related instruction sessions in the classroom.
