The Library's audiovisual media collection and equipment are provided to library users in support of curriculum and research needs. The library balances the right of the individual to pursue information with its mission to provide an atmosphere of teaching and learning. CDs and DVDs may be checked out by current SCC students, faculty, and staff.

All library users are expected to demonstrate respect for individuals’ rights to privacy and freedom from intimidation or harassment. Library staff will take steps to maintain an environment conducive to study and research.
