Cuba: Our Nearest, Most Distant Neighbor

Claudia Ackley, president of the Orange Coast College Friends of the Library (FOTL) and a retired OCC counselor, will present “Cuba: Our Nearest, Most Distant Neighbor”. The lecture is sponsored by OCC’s Friends of the Library and the Lido Isle Women’s Club. The public is invited to attend. Proceeds will benefit the OCC Library. Refreshments will be served. To reserve a seat, please call (714) 432-5087. Ackley will share her experiences during a recent visit to Cuba, with its historically rich culture and friendly people. “It is a land of contradictions,” Ackley observed.

Library System is down -- FIXED!

The library system is back up and everything is functional.

The library system is currently experiencing technical difficulties. We are working on resolving the issue. The following services are affected:

• Remote access to databases
• Library account information (Fines, list of books checked out, etc).
• Online catalog (searching for books)

If you are trying to access the databases, you may be able to access what you need on campus. Every database URL has a prefix that looks like this: http://ezproxy.occlib.nocccd.edu/login?url=

Delete that prefix from the URL and the link should work on campus only. If you need assistance, please talk to the reference librarian. We are open from 10-3 on Saturday.
