These instructions take you through downloading an app and connecting to Dogwood Digital Library so that you can access the contents (e-books and audiobooks) on your device. These instructions are based on what happens with an iPhone, so things may be slightly different when using an Android, laptop, etc.
You will now be directed back to the Dogwood Digital homepage. The difference now, is that you will see “My account” instead of “Sign In.” This means that you now have a personal account in Dogwood Digital that will allow you to check out materials.

NOTE: PCC Librarians do not have access to Sora and can only provide very limited help with this particular database.
For books that are more academic in nature, you can use our e-book quick search box (below). It searches several e-book databases all at once. From the results list, when you click the title of a book, you will be prompted to enter your myPittCC username (do not include @my.pittcc.edu) and password, before you can access the e-book.
NOTE: This does not search all of PCC Library's e-book databases.
