RN to BSN Nursing Resources at FRCC

How to find Physical Books

Many RN to BSN Nursing classes have digital textbooks and open educational resources embedded in the course. If you prefer a physical book or to read additional materials related to your courses, you have a few options for books at our campus libraries.

College Hill Library on the Westminster Campus:

• College Hill catalog search: find physical books you can borrow for typically 3 weeks at a time.
• Sign up for a free library card to borrow physical items to take home with you, to place holds, and to check out Course Reserves. All you need is a Wolf Card, or a photo ID with your Colorado address.

Harmony Library on the Larimer Campus:

• Poudre Libraries catalog search: find physical books you can borrow for typically 3 weeks at a time.
• Course Reserve search: find required textbooks you can borrow for 2 days at a time.
• Sign up for a free library card to borrow physical items to take home with you, to place holds, and to check out Course Reserves from Harmony Library. All you need is a Wolf Card, or a photo ID with your Colorado address.

How to place holds at Harmony Library

Note: you will need a Poudre River Public Library District library card and pin to place holds on physical materials!

1. Search for the title you want at PoudreLibraries.org. You may have to use the filters on the left-hand side of the results page to narrow down the results. For example, you can filter by date, library location (Harmony Library), "check on the shelf" (available now), Adult Non-fiction, or Course Reserves.

2. Once you found the title you want, look just to the right of the title for the Place hold button.

3. Login using your Poudre Libraries barcode number and 4-digit pin. (If you registered with your Wolf Card, use the barcode on that card and the pin you set up when registering for the library account.)

4. Once you login with your library barcode and pin, you can choose where to pick up your hold when it's ready. Harmony Library is the closest location for FRCC-LC students.

5. When your hold is ready, you will receive an email letting you know where you can pick it up and how long it will stay on the shelf for you. Holds typically stay on the shelf for 7 days. You can view items you placed on hold by logging into My Account on PoudreLibraries.org
