Another donation to help Wounded Warrior Project!

Our ongoing book donation project is getting some help from the Friends of the Jimmie B. Keel Library. The Tampa, Port Charlotte, and Fort Myers campuses accept donated books and send them to the online re-seller, Better World Books. 100% of our portion of sales benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.

Friends of the Keel library donated several boxes this past weekend, and will keep supplying us with more in the future! Thank you, from all of us at Southwest Florida College, for this support. We are making a difference! Please let us know if you have any questions on how you can help this cause.

Ask-A-Librarian

Do you need help researching for a paper, brainstorming a topic, or formatting your citations?

Don't forget about the free reference service, Ask-A-Librarian! It provides you, as a Florida resident, online assistance.

Log on anytime between 10am-midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 10am-5pm Friday or Saturday. Staff from more than 100 libraries around the state volunteer time each week to participate - including a few librarians from our college!

A librarian will be happy to help you with your question.

Southwest Florida College also encourages you to support the program by pledging your support online through a petition. It doesn't require any money from you, just a few seconds of your day.

Welcome to winter term

We hope you had a safe and enjoyable break!

A few things to remember this week:
- If you need to return a textbook or think you're missing one for a class, stop by your LRC. We will be able to help.
- For questions about your student portal (used for financial aid or to check your schedule), read this guide
- Your student email is accessible here, and your username should be your firstname.lastname and your password is "swfc + last four of your SSN"
- Log in to your online class through SWFC Training. You can also find a lot of helpful handouts and links on this page

Whether you are a returning student or just starting, we are glad you're here.
