The Library provides access to databases, thousands of books, an extensive reference library, current and past periodicals, daily newspapers, and Wilkes County historical information.
Library staff are more than willing to help students locate information and to provide instruction on how to use given resources. Appalachian State University provides for its off-campus students three computers and a FAX machine to access their resources or the on-line catalog of materials that may be checked out by ASU students.
The statewide electronic library project named North Carolina Libraries and Virtual Education is a collaborative effort to provide access to electronic information as well as printed resources housed in libraries worldwide such as WorldCat via OCLC FirstSearch. NC LIVE provides Wilkes Community College students and personnel with access to high quality information - searchable collections of magazine, newspaper, and journal articles, electronic books, historical materials, maps, and much more - covering a wide range of topics.
