Academic Resources and Support
Bunker Hill Community College is committed to providing effective and dynamic
instructional, academic and student support services through a variety of traditional
and multidimensional resources. The College philosophy is that each student is a
unique learner and that academic resources and support services should strive to
meet the individual needs of all students.
The Library and Learning Commons
The Library and Learning Commons delivers services crucial for student success,
including information literacy instruction, quality resource selection and an academic
learning atmosphere. The library’s website at http://www.noblenet.org/bhcc serves
as an information gateway and extends library services with links to an online
catalog, to a directory of high-quality research websites and to numerous fulltext
and citation subscription databases accessible from on campus and from off
campus. Also available in the databases are online digital educational videos and
online maps. The 100,000-volume print and electronic collection, which includes
books, magazines, newspapers and journals, is augmented by resources available
through the library’s memberships in NOBLE, WALDO, the Massachusetts Library
System (MLS) and OCLC. Consistent with the library’s on-campus services, the needs
of distance and nontraditional learners are also addressed with carefully selected
online resources, which offer in-context instruction customized to the curriculum.
Information literacy workshops as well as one-on-one instruction sessions are
available throughout the calendar year. Social web tools are used in many facets
of the library and we continue to actively seek new and emerging technologies to
meet the needs of our diverse and evolving student population. The BHCC ID card
(the OneCard) also serves as your library card. During the fall and spring semesters,
the Library and Learning Commons is open seven days a week with evening hours
