Library Services and Resources
In-Person
All in-person library services and resources, such as course reserves, computer workstations, and borrowing, are available.
MC Library follows guidance from theMaryland State Library Resource Center(PDF,
)related to the handling of library materials. Based on this guidance, the library loans all materials as we would under normal circumstances.
Virtual
The library's virtual services and resources, such as online librarian appointments, 24/7 online chat, and remote access to e-resources, remain available.
Space for Virtual Class Participation
学生可能会在与校内课程近距离接触的时间内参加虚拟(远程)课程。每个校园的图书馆都被指定为学生远程上课的空间，这样他们就可以在不需要旅行的情况下进行虚拟和面对面的学习。学生可以使用每个图书馆的活跃学习区来达到这个目的。
Students should bring headphones to use when attending a virtual class to limit disruption to other library users. Students can use the library's computer workstations for this purpose, though computer workstations do not have webcams. Students can also borrow a laptop or tablet, if available.
