Library Collection
Our library collection supports the courses offered at Southwest Tech and currently has over 95,000 e-books, 4,000 books, 1,500 audiovisual materials, and thousands of online journal subscriptions. Our online catalog allows you to locate our library materials from anywhere. Included in our collection are children's books, leisure reading materials and popular films. We’ve recently added helpful tech tools like Reader Pens that read printed text out loud, Lingo Pens that feature a translating dictionary, and Smart Pens that record audio as well as capture written notes via infrared camera technology.
