We're so excited to welcome everyone back for the Fall 2022 semester! Read on to learn about all the awesome services we provide:
Books and Databases:
Our library is home to over 34,000 books. All you need is your Student ID in order to check out books for research or to just read for fun. The general book collection is located in the stacks area in the back of the library, and we also have a popular reading section located in the front. We also offer a variety of databases that house peer-reviewed journal articles to assist you in your research. Search our catalog here. If you need assistance finding books or articles, feel free to ask a library staff member!
Computers and Printing:
Computers
with high speed Internet access are available to use free-of-charge,
for students as well as community patrons, and are located throughout
the library.
The Library currently offers free printing for MGCC students. For assistance with printing, please see a Library staff member. (Please note that we are no longer able to offer printing for community patrons.)
Study Rooms:
Three study rooms are available on a first-come-first-served basis or by reservation. These rooms are perfect for small group study sessions, quiet study, or attending a class on Zoom. Dry erase boards are available in each room, and markers will be provided at the front desk. To reserve one of the rooms, please see the front desk or email library@mgcc.edu.
Writing Center:
The
Writing Center is located in the library and provides students with a
friendly supportive team to help you succeed at college level writing.
Our Writing Center tutors do not edit or proofread essays but instead
focus on the ideas and content of essays. To make an appointment, please visit their brand new bookings page. If you have any questions about the services they provide, or about the scheduling process, please email writingcenter@mgcc.edu.
Tutor.com:
Tutor.com is a free online tutoring service available to all enrolled students. Simply log in to myMGCC, access your course within Canvas, and select the Tutor.com option.
Ask a Librarian:
Ask a Librarian offers you 24/7 support for all your research and online library service needs. Questions can be about focusing your research topic, beginning your search for sources, or locating more sources on your topic. If you have questions about how to use our online search features, you can ask these here as well.
Testing Center:
The Testing Center is located in the library and provides proctoring for tests and exams. If you need to take a proctored test for an online course or a make-up test for an in-person class, you may do so here. We also offer a sound-proof testing booth. The Testing Center is currently available by appointment only, with limited seating. To make an appointment, please send an email to testing@mgcc.edu.
