This link will take you to the MCC Library’s “catalog” at LibraryThing. All new fiction and literature titles arriving in the library are being added to this online catalog on a regular basis. Please bookmark, and visit this site regularly, if you’re interested in viewing what new fiction and lit titles the library is collecting.

LibraryThing is a social cataloging web application intended for storing and sharing personal library catalogs and book lists. We hope that you will enjoy LibraryThing, visit the MCC Library catalog on LibraryThing often, and even create a library-quality catalog of your own books (or books you’re reading) to share with all of us!!

Jeffrey Marzluft

For those of you who remember Jeff, our public services librarian, he is now at Oliver Wendell Holmes Library, at Phillips Academy Andover. He says of his time at Maui, "My time in Hawaii was some of the greatest I have ever experienced. I learned more about my values, my priorities, and myself than at any other time in my life. But I knew I wanted to return to New England to raise my family."

Podcasts, anyone?

Proving that she is comfortable leading the pack, librarian Ellen Peterson has initiated one of the first campus-wide podcast projects at MCC. A grant made possible by Perkins funds, along with assistance from the Media Center, will allow Ms. Peterson’s library and information literacy instruction videos, as well as footage from a number of MCC courses, to be available as both audio and video podcasts to students.

“Podcasts are becoming an increasingly popular method of instruction on many college campuses because they provide digital content that students can download and take with them on their portable digital devices. For years, instructors at MCC have been making their courses available for viewing online, but now, with podcast technology, students can review course content at home, in the car or at the beach,” says Ellen Peterson.

Although the percentage of students who own iPods seems to be rapidly increasing, Ms. Peterson’s grant has allowed for the purchase of 25 video iPods that the library will loan to students. These iPods can be checked out to students at the library circulation desk, just like books, CDs and DVDs. If this new program is popular, the library plans to continue developing services that embrace new technologies and innovations.
