ARC librarians are part of an international team of librarians who staff the chat service and are available to answer research questions 24/7 when classes are in session.

OneSearch


OneSearch is one of the library’s most powerful tools you can use for research. Access online resources you may not find for free on the web such as ebooks, scholarly articles, magazines, and newspapers. Use OneSearch to access multiple resources found in the Los Rios databases as well as find physical books in the Los Rios Libraries. To get familiar with OneSearch, watch this OneSearch in One Minute video.

This is a free, self-paced course for ARC students that provides insight on the college level research process to help you get familiar with or improve upon your academic research skills.

Stay Healthy During Hot Weather


Take some simple steps to beat the heat this summer and keep yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your pets healthy! Remember to drink plenty of water; wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing; and avoid outside activities during the hottest part of the day, which is from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Cooling down a few hours a day will allow your body to recover and tolerate the heat better for the rest of the day.
