MONTGOMERY COLLEGE RESOURCES AND MATERIALS

LIBRARIES

Each campus library provides a wide variety of information resources to support the curricula of the College. The Rockville Campus Library has the largest and broadest collection and has longer hours of operation than the other campus libraries; the Takoma Park Campus Library has special collections to support the health sciences, multicultural and American English Language programs; and the Germantown Campus Library emphasizes business, computing, and biotechnology programs. All of these materials can be accessed through the libraries' online catalog.

All library materials are available for use in the campus libraries. Patrons with a valid student identification card or a community borrower card may check out circulating materials for use outside the library. In addition, students registered for the current semester may use the library's electronic resources from outside the library, via the Internet.

The library provides access to numerous online indexes and full-text databases. Several databases of specific interest for students researching topics in education include:

  • Education Journals - indexes over 700 periodicals in education with over 500 of these titles providing full text access to the articles. Covers such topics as primary and secondary education, special education, home schooling and more.
  • Teacher Reference Center - is a database containing 280 of the most popular teacher and administrator trade journals to assist professional educators.
  • ERIC - provides access to educational literature from the CIJE (Current Index of Journals in Education) and documents from RIE (Resources in Education Index).

A knowledgeable, professional staff is available to assist students with research, and an interlibrary loan system is available to help students acquire materials that Montgomery College does not own.
