How to Get a Library Barcode

All registered CCSF online and telecourse students can obtain a library barcode by email. Having a library barcode gives you access to the full-text periodical and reference databases. These databases are proprietary and not freely available on the Web. They contain scholarly and popular periodical articles, as well as the full text of author biography and literary criticism; and full-text research reports from the Congressional Quarterly staff; and country background information from the database "Country Watch."

To get a library barcode by email, send an email to the Circulation Department at the Rosenberg Library: elibrary@ccsf.edu.

Your email message should contain a request for a library barcode with your full name, mailing address, student ID number (which is your "W" number), and phone number.

Library staff will send you your barcode number by email within 2 working days. Only one barcode is provided to each student per semester, and a new barcode is required for each semester.

A sticker with that barcode number will be mailed to your home address. It must be attached to your Student Identification card which is mailed from the CCSF Registration Office.

If you are on campus can also come to the Rosenberg Library to get this barcode.
