Library Services for Faculty


Library Instruction

Please schedule a Library Instruction class with one of the Librarians, (Judy Frost or Judi Moreno). We tailor sessions around your classes' specific needs, while also trying to introduce all students to specific core resources.  Students learn these skills best at the time of need and with hands on instruction, so when possible instruction should be scheduled at the time students are engaged in the research process, and in a computer lab where they can do some searching.  Please also encourage your students to schedule one-on-one appointments with us.

Your Library Card

Your library card is your CMCC ID.  Fill out the library ID card form, have it signed by your Department Chair, and bring it to Student Services, who will print your CMCC ID.  Bring your ID to the library, where we will activate your card. You can also renew your material and manage your library account online: my patron record

Borrowing Material

Your active library card allows you to check out material at CMCC, Auburn Public Library, and Lewiston Public Library.  Our loan policies are listed on our website: Circulation Services and Procedures. Material can also be requested through Minerva or MaineCat, and shipped to CMCC.

Interlibrary Loan

Valerie Frechette handles interlibrary loans.  She can order any material for you that can not be requested through online catalogs, or downloaded from a database.

Reserves

We can place material on reserve in the library.  This material is then loaned for a shorter period of time, (4 hours, overnight, 3 days, or 1 week).  All material is taken off reserve at the end of each semester. See Judi Moreno for help with this.

Student Perceptions of Information Literacy Study

This study is on-going.  We have conducted a survey, focus groups, and collected bibliographies.  This fall we'll be asking Faculty for their perceptions of the information literacy process.
