Over the summer, MCC students and staff began seeing an updated, progressive MCC Library. A survey of the student body last year showed that students wanted conventional fines on overdue materials, more rapid notification about overdue items, and they wanted more computers.
This year there will be:
- Multiple e-mail notifications to MCC student e-mail addresses only.
- No grace period on overdue items.
- A $1 per day fine per book.
- A $1 per hour fine on laptops.
- Revised procedures on holds for financial aid and registration.
- 25 percent more lab computers.
- 5 computers for study rooms.
- 6 laptops for 2-hours checkout.
- “Deep freeze” to reduce pop-ups.
- DVD players available for reserve and class material.
We hope that you will have a rewarding 2005-2006 Academic year.
