Montgomery College Library's resources and services empower our students, faculty,
and employees, and enrich the lives of the Montgomery County community. The library
provides research expertise, technology resources, materials like textbooks and databases,
and study spaces needed by students to succeed academically at Montgomery College.
We also instill in students an ability to think critically, to evaluate information
and sources, and to seek and find knowledge. These skills benefit students while in
school, in their careers, and as citizens.
With locations on the Germantown, Rockville, and Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campuses,
and a robust online presence, help from the MC Library is always convenient.
The MC Library provides resources for research on all academic subjects taught at the College. Resources can be found online through our website (databases, e-books, e-journals, streaming media) or in print in our library (books, DVDs, print journals). Our librarians offer a variety of ways to get help with research, including in-person and online support.
The library is committed to providing our users with the materials they need to succeed at MC. Our Access Services employees can help you borrow any item you may need, from laptops to textbooks. If the library doesn’t own the item you need, we can help you get it.
The MC Library understands the central role technology plays at the College. We work with the Office of Information Technology to provide the technology you need. We offer both Mac and PC computers with a selection of software, laptops and tablets available to borrow, high-speed scanners, multi-user workstations with screen sharing technology, One Button Studios for easy video creation, and much more. Each library locations has a variety of study spaces to accommodate different preferences. Students working alone may use our quiet zones. Students working with others will appreciate our active learning zones, private group study rooms, and collaborative workstations for sharing multiple device screens.
At the MC Library, we pride ourselves on collaborating with faculty by offering resources and services to support educational excellence and student success. Our support ranges from librarian-led instructional sessions to the development of custom online guides for your class. Our course reserves service enables you to make course materials, including the textbook, available to your students through the library. And our online tutorials and quizzes help you develop and assess your students’ information literacy skills.
