We have recently renovated our library into a modern collaborative learning space — the brand new JSCC Learning Commons. Visit for study space, digital resources, and assistance with research or other learning needs.

We're here to help!

Our library staff, Academic Navigators, and tutors are here to help students find the information and learning support they need to succeed. Academic Support

Digital and Print Resources

The Learning Commons offers extensive print and digital collections to support your research and study. Our digital library includes e-books, full-text databases, and multimedia content accessible on and off campus, while our print collection provides research materials and course texts available for browsing and checkout. Subject-specific research tools, citation support, and online course reserves make it easy to find exactly what you need.

Computers/Printing

Computer workstations and printing services are available to support your coursework and research needs. Desktop computers equipped with essential software can be used on a first-come, first-served basis, and black-and-white printing and scanning services are also available.

Individual and Group Study Spaces

A variety of study spaces are available within the Learning Commons to accommodate different study preferences. Individual study carrels and quiet zones provide focused, distraction-free environments, while group seating accommodates collaborative projects and group work. Comfortable lounge seating and open areas throughout the space offer flexible options for reading, studying, or working between classes.

Decompression Room

Need a moment to recharge? The Decompression Room offers a quiet, low-stimulation space to relax and unwind between classes or study sessions. Stress-relief tools, including fidgets and puzzles, are available to help you reset and refocus, whether you're taking a short mental break or looking for a calm space away from the busyness of the Learning Commons.

Family Room

The Family Room is a dedicated space reserved for parents and caregivers with young children. Kid-friendly activities help keep little ones engaged, while laptops are available for parents to complete coursework or research. This space is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Café Area

Take a break and refuel in the Café Area, where free coffee is available to help power you through study sessions. Vending machines and a microwave offer additional options for a quick snack or meal, making it easy to step away and recharge without leaving the Learning Commons.
