Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - County Library System Now Offering Online Auto-Repair Information

The St. Lucie County Library System provides free online assistance for those DIY (Do It Yourself)-types interested in automotive repairs.

The Library recently subscribed to EBSCO's Auto Repair Reference Center (ARRC) database, which covers more than 35,000 vehicles from 1945 to present. Content includes nearly 857,000 drawings and step-by-step photographs, approximately 99,000 technical service bulletins and recalls issued by the original equipment vehicle manufacturer, more than 158,600 enhanced wiring diagrams for easy viewing and printing, specifications and maintenance schedules, diagnostic information and much more. It even includes Labor Time Guide & Estimator, AutoIQ and Quick Tips (a complete guide to vehicle ownership and maintenance). New repair procedures, technical service bulletins and updates are continually added. All of the content in the ARRC has been created by ASE-certified technicians.

For access simply go to the Library home page at http://library.stlucieco.gov and click on "Databases and Online Resources" from the left navigation menu. The ARRC is the first choice. Click on the button and, at the prompt, enter your valid St. Lucie County Library patron ID number without spaces. For assistance, please call 772-462-2187 during Library System hours.
