Information for Students

• The Library Shell in Blackboard
  Every MxCC student is enrolled in the Blackboard Vista course “MxCC – Library.” Here you will find information on accessing library resources from home, library services for distance learners, and online research tutorials.
  
  
• Accessing Library Resources from Home
  You can do your own research at home! We offer remote access to full-text electronic books and article databases through myCommNet. Refer to How to Access Library Resources from Home for instructions on locating these great resources.
  
  
• Accessing Resources at the Library
  We are home to many great books, DVDs, CDs, videos, reference materials, magazines, journals, microforms, and course reserves. As an online student, you have the same borrowing privileges as on-ground students. Although we cannot mail items to your house, if you give us a call (860.343.5830), we will hold them for pick-up for 48 hours.

Meriden students: You can request items to be sent to the Meriden campus from the Middletown campus. See Intercampus Loan to Meriden for more information.

We can also order items from other libraries for you, at no charge, through our InterLibrary Loan service. To search for items in our library and other libraries, check out our Find Books page.

• Research Help
  We offer online and in-person reference assistance. Go to our Help with your Research page for online  research guides, citation and writing style guides, and more. You can also contact us via email and phone (860.343.5830).
