The Rising Scholars Program provides Cerro Coso Community College classes to students incarcerated at CCI - Tehachapi and CDCR

Core Academic Collection

(Currently a Work in Progress)

The Core Academic Collection is a collection of materials developed and curated by the Cerro Coso Librarians for the Rising Scholars Program students and faculty to utilize in their studies and course work. Materials include reference resources like encyclopedias and handbooks, as well as textbooks, self-help books, digital literacy materials and much more. Working together with the California Correctional Institution Librarians, we have made these materials available within the institution libraries located on each of the facilities.

If you would like something to be added to the collection or if you see an item and want to check on its facility location, please reach out to the Rising Scholars Librarian, Jewell Ludwigsen who works out of the Cerro Coso Tehachapi Campus.

(The Core Academic Collection does not contain classroom sets of textbooks or reading materials)
