The Virginia Community College System (VCCS) comprises 23 public 2-year colleges operating throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools: Commission on Colleges.
VCCS Libraries cooperatively engage in staff training, information sharing, inter-library loan, and cooperative purchasing. The System Library Services group centrally administers key technologies, contracts, and electronic resources on behalf of all colleges.
VCCS is part of the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA), and community college librarians play a major role in the work of the larger state consortium.
