We're still here (virtually) ...

The physical library may be closed over Thanksgiving break but we know you have much work to do so remember you can always get support online :

From home, log in to my.commnet.edu - Library Tab. You'll have access to databases to find journal articles (click Middlesex Community College') and electronic handouts (including bib guides) under 'Help with Your Research'. And begin your Internet searching with sites found under 'Recommended Websites'.

In Blackboard Vista, check out the Library course for online tutorials to guide you in research.

For 24/7 reference assistance, refer to InfoAnyTime on the library's homepage.

Food for Fines

During the months of November, December, and January, you may bring in a non-perishable food item and your overdue fines will be excused. The food will go to a local food pantry.
