Library
The Kate Stamper Wilhite Library provides students, faculty, and staff with information, materials, and technology to support the academic and career/technical areas of study. The College library is a charter member of the MOBIUS Library Consortium that maintains a statewide academic common library system, which includes holdings of 64 college and university libraries in Missouri, with public libraries currently being added to the system. MACC students, faculty, and staff have access to over 23 million titles in this web- based library system that is supported by a statewide daily delivery system and direct patron borrowing.
Holdings of the MACC library include approximately 20,000 book titles and access to nine multi-disciplinary electronic databases in index and full-text format, and audio-visual materials and equipment to support the curriculum. Access to the internet is provided on computers in the library.
The library also provides access to the Jack Conroy American Studies Collection, which contains materials from the private collection of the late Moberly author, Jack Conroy. The American Studies Collection includes books written by Conroy, reviews he wrote for books by other authors, and a small collection of American women’s fiction dating from the late 1800’s through early 1900’s. The Conroy Collection is housed in Room 235 of the Main Building.
Library services and training are provided to students at all locations via basic reference collections, electronic access to information, bibliographic instruction sessions, and delivery of books and materials requested by students or faculty.
Special attention is given to assisting students and instructors in areas such as library research skills, electronic retrieval of information, electronic communication skills, and utilization of the various library reference databases.
