It includes coverage of All College Day 2009, the volunteer cleanup at English Creek, the Veterinary Technician program, and, of course, our own Ask Me program where you can access library services on campus outside of the library.

Library card numbers changing Monday, March 1st

To coincide with the new HawkCard, library card numbers for all students, faculty and staff at the Plant City Campus will be changing Monday, March 1st, 2010. The number on your existing library card will no longer work after this date. This change will not effect your Hawkmail, Campus Cruiser, or Web Advisor logins.

Your library card number is now your seven digit student or employee number. This is the number that will also appear on your HawkCard.

Your PIN will not change. If you forget your PIN, please contact us and we can reset it to the default for you. The default PIN is the last four digits of your student number.

This change should not affect community or reciprocal borrowers. If you are a student at another HCC campus, your number may have already been changed.

If you have questions or problems logging in, please contact us at 757-2163.
