The MCC Library provides eBooks and print books to students, faculty, and staff. Most books can be borrowed for 3 weeks. Need help? Ask a librarian!

Textbooks & OERs

We offer some textbooks for in-library use. You may also find older editions in our catalog.

If your course is using open educational resources (OERs), there should be a link or readings in your Canvas course. If you need help, ask us! To learn more about OERs visit the Open Textbook Alliance.

Faculty, explore the MCC OER toolkit or the CCSNH Open Resources Page for guidance on adopting/adapting free course materials.

MCC Library provides access to dozens of databases that contain journal articles, news articles, reports, research and more. If you need help searching for what you need, ask a librarian or see the Getting Started with Research guide.
