Student Resources

Welcome to CVCC’s Media Center!
The Media Center consists of the Electronic Library (eLibrary), 24 desktop computers, meeting rooms, study areas, gathering areas, access to Chromebooks, contains over 1,000 titles in the current/best seller teen fiction collection as well as over 100 books in the non-fiction collection.

The mission of the Media Center is “to provide resources and services so that students, faculty and staff will be able to find and use information as they learn and pursue their interests in our ever-changing world.”

The Media Center staff consists of one Media and Information specialist with the strong support of the Curriculum and Technology staff.

Hours of operation:
7:30 AM – 3:00 PM daily for high school students and by appointment for adults (please call 440-746-8206 to make appointment).

In addition to the electronic resources provided by the State of Ohio, the eLibrary subscribes to a series of educational databases with a Career and Technical focus. The electronic format of our resources allows for seamless updating. And unlike a general internet search, the content has been reviewed and selected by educational editors. Most are only available to authorized users.

We provide training in these databases as well as in the software available on the CVCC network.
