Library Orientation

  • Library Cards:  Your Martin ID is your library card.  It is used to check out materials and to access other library services.  Your library card number is your 7-digit ID number from your class schedule, followed by the letters MR. It is located below the barcode on your student ID.  ID cards are made in the library. You must ask library staff to enter your library card number into the library computer system before you check out books or place holds for the first time.  (If all your classes are online and you don't have a Martin ID card, the library will be happy to set up your account by e-mail.  Just e-mail us at library@martincc.edu )

  • Checkout Limit:  You may have up to 6 items checked out at a time, including 2 DVDs.  Items are due back in 2 weeks and may be renewed twice, for a total of 6 weeks, unless someone else is waiting for them. 

  • Food & Drink:  Please eat in the cafe area in Building 1 or the student lounge in Building 4.  Drinks with lids are OK in the library.

  • Cell Phones:  Cell phones must be kept on silent or vibrate in the library.  You must go into the lobby to talk on your phone.

  • Noise:  Please be considerate of those studying around you.  Carrels along the back wall are provided for those who need a quiet study area.  Three group study rooms are available for group or quiet study.
