Liberal Arts Guide

The library is committed to serving the needs of faculty and students, regardless of campus location or modality. Request an information literacy (IL) session here. If you have questions about the appropriate library intervention, please email librarian Kevin Strunk at kstrunk@mc3.edu.

MCCC students and employees may request books or articles via interlibrary loan when unavailable in our libraries. There's a limit of ten requests per day. Items can take up to two weeks to arrive from lending libraries. Articles may take up to ten days, though most are available sooner. Requests from patrons with overdue ILL materials will not be processed until outstanding items are returned. A library employee will e-mail you when your requested resource is available. Please contact Donna Wallace at ill@mc3.edu with questions or concerns about ILL requests.

Do you have an item you'd like added to the collection? Fill out the Purchase Request form to add your item to the collection.

Do you have an extra copy of your course textbook? Consider placing that item on reserves for student use.

Montgomery County Community College Archive proudly supports the institution's educational mission. Towards that end, we offer research, bibliographic, and course development assistance to both faculty and students. The archive houses approximately 600 linear feet of records and manuscripts documenting all the College's operations, policies, and programs, thus serving as the institution's official memory. The College established the archive to collect, preserve, organize, and make accessible all of the permanent records related to the institution's management. Doing this, though, is a team effort dependent upon the participation of all the many constituents at the College, staff, faculty, students, and visitors.

Schedule an appointment with a librarian. If you need support if your research or want a student to meet with a librarian, schedule a time that works for you. Reminder: Amanda is the liaison for Liberal Arts.
