CORRECTION From the Library 

The Library Newsletter sent last week erroneously stated that VitalSource, a company offering free temporary emergency access to their electronic textbooks through May 25th, had extended the due date to June 8th.

This was an error. RedShelf is the company that has extended their due date for free temporary access. Students should use the link below to create an account using their LACCD email address to borrow books through RedShelf. Students should do this as soon as possible as RedShelf will be renewing the due date for items already checked out.
