Civics 101: Information on Elections and Voting: Books - eBooks
Finding Books
Want to learn more about American politics? There are lots of books about the political process. Keep in mind that some books are written to provide an objective, even-handed view of political issues, but others represent the views of a particular party or group.
There are two tools you can use to find books at the Atlantic Cape Libraries.
- Use the Book Catalog to find printed books on the shelves in the college libraries and throughout the Atlantic County Library System.
- Use the E-Book Collection to find books in our digital collection.( Off campus authentication required.)
Your Library Card
Activate Your Library Account
Visit the circulation desk of any Atlantic Cape library. You'll need your college ID.
To borrow books, use reserve books, laptop computers or equipment in the library you will need to activate your library account. Your College ID becomes your library card, along with a PIN code that you will choose. Once your account is activated, you can borrow material from the Atlantic Cape Libraries, get material delivered from any of our partner libraries in the Atlantic County Library System, and much more.
You can also use your College ID to apply for a Community Account to borrow materials from Richard Stockton University, for a library card from the Atlantic City Free Public Library, and from the Atlantic County Library System and Cape May County libraries.
Interlibrary Loan
Did you find an article not available in full text? How about a book not owned by Atlantic Cape or the Atlantic County Library System.
All is not lost. The library may be able to get your article or book from another library. The Interlibrary loan service is free to all current students, faculty and staff of Atlantic Cape.
- Don't wait too long to make your request. Books may take 7-10 days to arrive. Articles may take up to 7 days.
Please be sure to provide as complete a citation as possible, so the lending library can quickly locate your request.
Interlibrary Loan for Articles
- Loan periods are set by the lending library.
