…find the Library?

The CRC is located inside Fort Eisenhower's Woodworth Library.  When you enter the main building through the front doors, turn left, and the CRC entrance will be in that front left corner.  We are open Monday through Thursday from 0900 to 1700, but closed on federal holidays.  We can also be reached by phone at 706-791-7547.

…find and borrow books from the CRC collection?

In order to check out print books you must register for a CRC account in person with your CAC.  This account is separate from a traditional MWR library account.

As part of the Army University Library System (AULS), our online catalog is the gateway to the collections of all 16 Army Libraries at the TRADOC Centers of Excellence and Schools. The catalog may be accessed on this website under the "CRC Catalog and Databases" tab at the top of the page.  You will be asked to enter the login which was created when you registered.

The loan period for books is 21 days for books, and seven days for reference materials, periodicals, and DVDs.  Items may be renewed twice, either in person or over the phone.  IAW AR 735-17, the responsible patron will replace lost, damaged, or destroyed materials.

…access the CRC subscription databases?

In order to use our subscription databases you must register for a CRC account in person with your CAC.  This account is separate from a traditional MWR library account.

The CRC (through AULS) subscribes to several excellent academic databases that support military education and civilian professional development by providing students, faculty, and staff with access to scholarly online resources such as Country Watch, Military Periscope, ProQuest Military and Government Database, and thousands of eBooks.

These databases may be accessed through the links on this website under the "CRC Catalog and Databases" tab at the top of the page.  You will be asked to enter the login which was created when you registered.

…return my books?

As you approach the end of your 21-day loan period, you will receive an email reminder.  You may choose to renew your books or you can bring them back to the library.  If the library is closed, you may use the 24-hour book drop in the back of the building to return your items.

…renew my books?

Items may renewed twice, either in person or over the phone.

…request an Interlibrary Loan?

If there is a book you need that is not available at the CRC, you may request an Interlibrary Loan.  The librarians can search the collections of other libraries nationwide for the title, and if a holding library is willing to share it, the book will be loaned to you for a period of time approved by that library.  Two to three weeks is typical.  It will take time to locate the book and have it mailed to the CRC, so this may not be an option if you have strict time constraints.

…find out what topics are covered?

The CRC supports the Cyber Center of Excellence and the students, faculty, and staff of the Cyber and Signal Schools. Our collection development policy reflects this priority, and the topics we cover include (but are not limited to) military history and science, communications, strategic planning, leadership, cybersecurity, electronic warfare, computer science and IT programming, and technical certifications.

…get help with Staff Ride, Battle Analysis, or Mission Command projects?

The librarians at the CRC regularly assist students working on papers and projects including Mission Command, Battle Analysis or Staff Ride requirements.  They can direct students to both in-house and online resources to supplement the required reading to successfully complete these projects.  The librarians are also available for assistance with research and writing.

…use the databases and research effectively?

While most databases operate in similar ways, each individual database is unique and has certain special features.  From evaluating and choosing a database, to formulating a strong search, and then effectively narrowing your results, using a database requires a general knowledge of best practices and an awareness of quirks particular to that source.  Help navigating these can come from working directly with a librarian (either in person, over the phone, or online) or by using the online tutorials and guides provided throughout the CRC website.

…find help after-hours?

On the CRC website, you will find instructional guides on many topics (such as using the library sources, research, and writing) that can be accessed at any time.  These include video tutorials (e.g. 90-Second CRC Briefings), printable guides, insightful “tips and tricks,” and links to outside websites chosen specifically for their excellent explanations.

…contact a Librarian?

You may stop by the CRC anytime Monday through Friday, from 0900 to 1700 (except federal holidays).  The main desk is always staffed, and any of our librarians would be happy to answer any questions you may have.  You can also call the CRC at 706-791-7547 or email the group mailbox here.  Someone will contact you within 24 hours of the next business day.
