Paradise Valley Community College (PVCC) just made life a whole lot easier with the launch of the Library Mobile App, a new go-to resource for books, research help, events, and everything in between. The Buxton Library isn’t just a place to check out books; it’s a hub for research, collaboration, tech support, and creativity. With the Library Mobile App, it’s now just a tap away.
Forget digging through multiple tabs or waiting in line, the Library Mobile App enables you to:
- Search the catalog for articles, books, eBooks, and more
- Track your checkouts and place holds with ease
- Check library hours instantly (no more guessing during finals week!)
- Ask a Librarian on the spot for quick research help
- Schedule a one-on-one research appointment
- Dive into LibGuides for expert research support
- Access your student ID card right from your phone
- Quickly contact library staff or campus support services
- Use quick links for everything from printing help to study room reservations
- Vote in library polls and share your input
- Browse FAQs for common questions
“This app puts library tools directly into students’ hands, making it easier to find what they need, when they need it,” explained Whitley Abrams, PVCC Library Specialist, who developed the app alongside colleague John Chavez. “Whether they’re on campus or off, students now have a more connected experience with research, resources, and support.”
The app is powered by robust tech platforms like Primo (for seamless searching), Alma (for account and catalog management), and Leganto, coming soon to help students integrate reading lists directly into their classes.
So whether you're trying to grab that book you’ve been waiting for, need quick access to your student ID, or want to chat with a librarian about your paper, the answer now fits in your back pocket.
