These resources are tailored to students taking general biology courses (majors and non-majors) on the Northeast Campus. If you are taking a biology course elsewhere at TCC, visit the Learning Commons Science Support page to access general resources and resources specific to your campus. Are there additional resources that you'd like to see here? Contact us and let us know!

On Campus Resources

This is a representative list of physical resources available for students to check out and use while at the SLC on the NE campus. Note that resources checked out from the SLC must be returned before you leave; we do not loan items like a library does, but you are welcome to stay and use them as long as you want. If you are looking for a specific resource that is not listed here or have suggestions for additional resources, do not hesitate to contact us.

Models & Microscopes

We have 30 different models available specifically for students in BIOL 1406, 1407, 1408, and 1409. Models are added and rotated weekly according to the current course topics. Many of our models are identical to those used in lab courses on NE campus, and they are available to you whenever we are open.

Need some help finding your way around a microscope? Come practice at the SLC! Outside of your lab, the SLC is the only place on the NE campus where you can practice your hands-on microscope skills. Ask to look at a slide box—it contains all of the same microscope slides that you study in class, and there's no limit to how long or how often you can use them.

Books & Media

We have physical copies of all textbooks currently used in biology courses on the NE campus, as well as numerous other textbooks, study guides, solution manuals, and reference materials. This list is not comprehensive. If you are looking for a specific book and do not see it here, we may still have it; feel free to contact us to find out.
