2015-2016 Catalog

Libraries

The MCC libraries provide research materials and instruction in support of the College’s curriculum. Staff members are available to assist students with their research assignments and other reference questions. Libraries are located at the Elkhorn Valley, Fort Omaha, and South Omaha campuses. At the Elkhorn Valley Campus, library services are provided in the Academic Support Commons. Current students, faculty, and staff are also welcome to use the City of La Vista Public Library at the Sarpy Center.

Each campus library houses a collection of print and audiovisual materials, including books, journals, magazines, newspapers, and DVDs. The library’s website includes links to more than 60 research databases containing eBooks, streaming videos, journals, magazines, newspapers, and encyclopedias. Off-campus access to the databases is available for current students, faculty, and staff.

Other resources available to students include:

  • library orientation/instruction
  • computers equipped with Internet access as well as Microsoft Office products (Word, Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher)
  • interlibrary loan to obtain materials not available through MCC’s libraries
  • reciprocal borrowing agreements with the Omaha Public Libraries, the City of La Vista Public Library, and other college libraries in Nebraska

In addition to serving MCC’s students, faculty, and staff, the three campus libraries also provide library services to the residents of the College’s four-county service area (Dodge, Douglas, Sarpy, and Washington counties).
