Reserves: Reserves collection contains Items with limited circulation in special demand for certain courses/projects.
Faculty may place items on reserve at the circulation desk. Faculty are responsible for adhering to any copyright restrictions or obtaining permission for materials they place on reserve.
Textbooks: In-library use only textbooks are available for many MCC courses. Check at the library desk to see if we have a copy of the textbook(s) used for your course. If you have an extra copy of the textbook(s) used for your course, please consider putting it on reserve at the library circulation desk to be used by your students.
Interlibrary Loan: Materials not held in the MCC Library can be obtained through interlibrary loan. It takes 2 weeks on average to receive items. Requests may be placed at the circulation desk or in some cases through the MCC Library Catalog if you are logged in to your MCC Library account with your library card number and select all I-share libraries when searching.
Research Guides: MCC Librarian-created guides for each subject area taught at MCC. The guides serve as research support in a particular subject matter.
