TC Library Online

Welcome to Taft College Library Online

You can access the library catalog and databases without leaving Canvas! Use the tabs on the left side of this page to access library research guides with tutorials and step-by-step instructions.

The library has laptops and calculators available for semester-long check out. You can request these items online and we will hold them until you come to campus.

Please call the Circulation Desk at (661) 763-7707 if you have any questions, we are here to help!

Library Workshops

Your professor may assign you workshops conducted by the library. These workshops are conducted in Canvas, and take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. You will receive a Certificate of Completion when you score at least 75% on the final quiz for each workshop. You can take as many of the workshops as needed and retake a workshop as many times as necessary to meet the threshold. Enroll in Library workshops and take the library tour.

Library Guides

Check out our library guides. We have guides that show you how to conduct research, cite your sources, evaluate sources, and identify fake news. You can access our most popular guides by using the links on the left side of the screen, or you can search our guides by subject to find guides for specific classes.
