Library Services
Visiting the Walter W. Stiern Library
All Regional Programs students are entitled to library services at CSUB. The CSUB Library is open to the public, but only currently enrolled students can check out books or other library materials. A student identification card number (Runner ID) is required to check-out materials. Before you visit our campus please contact the Distant Services Library Assistant regarding policies and procedures for checking out materials. Click here to view the CSUB’s Walter W. Stiern Library.
Online Services
There are many services which provide distant learners with access to library information. You will be required to use your RunnerMail account (User Name and Password) to access the databases. Information about establishing your RunnerMail account is available on the menu bar. For additional information, please consult the Distance Services Policies and Procedures page.
Research Assistance
As a Regional Programs student you have full access research services via the telephone and internet. Information will either be mailed, faxed, e-mailed, or sent via UPS. These services include: document delivery of selected magazine articles or book extracts, interlibrary loans, and reference assistance. Many of the services are available free of charge or for a nominal fee. Click here to connect to the Distant Learner services
Visiting the COC Library
Santa Clarita community members are welcome to use all COC Library materials while in the library. Community members who are not eligible for a regular Library card may request a SCILNET (Santa Clarita Interlibrary
Network) card at their local public or school library. This temporary card entitles the holder to check out any materials that circulate to the COC students. For additional information, consult the COC Library Circulation or Reference desk.
