X - Library Orientation - FORWARDED to Library Resources/Niche Academy

The Marshall Hamilton Library (www.nfc.edu/Learning-Resources) is your central portal to library resources, services, help, and general information.

Use our Chat with a Librarian button on the Library website to contact us when you need help finding sources, using databases, and more.

Librarians are also available by phone, email, and appointment (in-person or virtual).

Students not on campus may decide not to get a Student ID at the beginning of the semester.

You DO NOT need a Student ID to access the online library resources.

To  gain access to the Library’s extensive collection of electronic resources such as eBooks and academic databases with full-text  articles look for the blue cloud icon on the Learning Resources website or on the myNFC portal.
