Finding your way
Library, Information and Technology Services (LITS) provides library and technology support to the campus. Use our document Getting Around in LITS to tell you where to find people and places in our buildings. Many of the materials you may want to use for your classes are available online, but you will also need printed resources to do your best work. You may also want to Ask a Librarian for assistance. The science librarian is Sarah Oelker, and her office is next to the Reference Room on Level 4 of Williston Library.
Some other spots in the library you may need:
- Photocopiers -- Level 2, Miles-Smith, and Level 2 1/2, Williston
The library also has a lot of online tools and tips for helping you with your research:
Writing and Citing Tools - links to lots of online writing and citing information, including how to get started with RefWorks bibliographic management software
RefWorks - The bibliography software purchased by MHC for student use. You will need to sign up for this system from a computer that is on our campus network, in order to begin putting references in the system.
Inter-Library Loan (ILLiad) - our system for requesting books outside of the five colleges. If you have not registered for ILL use yet, please click on the "New to ILLiad? Sign up!" link on the page. You will need the library barcode on the back of your OneCard in order to sign up, and please don't use the same password for this system as for your MHC email account.
