Library The library's main mission is to support the curriculum of the college, but its resources also provide ample material for personal enjoyment. The book and video collections number 27,000 items, and the current periodical collection includes more than 500 titles. Books, videos and periodicals may all be searched on electronic databases. Your Hawkeye ID will be bar-coded to serve as a checkout card. You must have it with you to check out library material.
Most new students receive a videotaped orientation to the library.
You may also view this videotape in the library or check a copy out for home viewing. Small-group study rooms are available and may be reserved. These sites include most Area VII high schools as well as, AEA 7 in Cedar Falls, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Center in Waterloo. Hawkeye offers courses at most of these sites each semester. It is possible to earn an Associate in Arts degree almost entirely via distance learning.
