Special guides and lists of suggested materials are made available to students on popular subject areas. Books and periodical articles can be requested from other libraries, with advance notice. The Michael M. Bennett Libraries provide library materials and services particularly suited to the aims and curriculum of the college and for personal growth enrichment. In addition to the general book collection, the library provides reference services, current and back issues of periodicals, electronic indexes, and databases, pamphlets and documents, audiovisual materials, and art prints and sculpture. Audiovisual materials are available for use in the libraries, and certain listening and viewing materials such as telecourse videotapes are circulated to students.
Facilities are available for disabled users.
The libraries are staffed by professional librarians, career library employees, student workers and volunteers. Individual and group instruction in library use is available, and printed information is also provided. Students are urged to acquaint themselves with the regulations which have been established in the interest of all who use the libraries. These policies, along with other information designed to aid the student, are found in the student Library Handbook and other printed materials available in the libraries.
