The library does not mail books to students. Students are required to come to the library and check out the item using their MC ID card. The library does purchase e-books which means that any student can view the book right from their computer.
E-books are discoverable and accessible by current students, faculty, and staff via the MC Library Catalog. You will need your M number in order to access e-books if you are working from an off-campus location. Community users will need to visit one of the library campus locations to access e-books.
