Sandhills Hoke Center

Sandhills Hoke Center students can purchase textbooks by visiting eCampus, SCC's official online bookstore. Students using financial aid to purchase textbooks must wait until the published purchase date. This is typically one week prior to the beginning of each semester.

Sandhills Hoke Center students, faculty and staff are provided an adequate level of services available through Katharine L. Boyd Library on the Pinehurst campus. Using the 5 computers in the Hoke Center Resource Room, Boyd Library’s online library catalog can be searched to locate print books and DVDs. Selected items can be sent for pickup/return between campuses. In addition, interlibrary loan is available through other Community Colleges, and more widely via OCLC. The SCC student ID card is also a library card. Please call (910) 695-3819 or send an e-mail to library@sandhills.edu for more information.

Boyd Library has subscriptions to 144 library databases, including NC Live. These databases provide free access to thousands of magazines, journals, newspapers, e-books, and video content from authoritative sources not found in a Google search. On-campus access is available instantly, and the MySCC login is needed for off-campus access. This Library Guide contains access information, tutorials and how to contact a librarian for reference help.

Additionally, students, faculty and staff at the Hoke Center can use the designated computers in the Hoke Center Resource Room to meet their reference and research needs. Virtual help is available through Microsoft Teams on and off- campus with academic librarians at the Pinehurst campus. Appointments are encouraged due to staffing and can be virtual or in-person at Sandhills Hoke Center.
