Our Mission
Departments and Staff

Our Mission
The mission of the MCC Libraries is to instruct a diverse student body, faculty, and staff in access to and evaluation of resources which enhance the curriculum, give access to research scholarship, and support a core collection to encourage critical thinking.

Departments and Staff: 

Administration (Room 2-246 - 4th floor of the LeRoy V. Good Library) 

Library Administration provides management, leadership, coordination and budgetary control for both campus libraries. This department actively pursues the means and methods to provide quality service to support curriculum, the mission and vision of the college community as it relates to libraries. We seek to be innovative and with excellence and equality of service as goals. Partnering and local, regional and statewide cooperation are essential elements to our approach.

Circulation (Access Services)

The Circulation Desk is found near the exit doors on the second (main) floor of the Leroy V. Good Library. All materials must be checked out through the Circulation Desk via the library's automated circulation system. The Circulation staff checks materials out and in, manages the reserve collection, processes trace and hold requests, receives payment for lost library materials, issues temporary library cards to special populations, answers questions about fines and charges, stores lost and found, and places book transfers to and from the Damon City Campus. The desk staff is trained to answer directional questions and manage Circulation Services, but will refer all other research information requests to the Information/Reference Desk.

Besides being responsible for all activities at the Circulation Desk, the Circulation staff is responsible for maintaining the book stacks on the 3rd and 4th floors. To keep materials in their proper places, Circulation student assistants are assigned sections of the book stacks where they are trained to shelve, straighten, and read the shelves for correct order. If you are having trouble finding an item, stop at the Circulation Desk where an assistant would be happy to help you.

Technical Services & Acquisitions/Serials

The Technical Services Department of the Leroy V. Good Library consists of two major library divisions: Cataloging and Acquisitions/Serials (collection development). The department is primarily concerned with the selection, purchasing, receiving and processing of all library materials.

As to serials, this department oversees the operation of the automated serials control system, which includes ten functions central to serials work. Also, the department is responsible for the selection of new periodical titles for acquisition, many times in conjunction with other librarians, faculty and students. The serials staff enters new subscriptions, cancels subscriptions, maintains order records and check-in records, and prepares and maintains the printed periodicals catalog. Periodicals statistics are compiled, and periodicals backfiles maintained. The department is also responsible for the maintenance of materials and equipment. Superceded issues are disposed of, and missing issues replaced. Communications with serials vendors are also coordinated.
