SMC’s new 1,300-seat library offers a comfortable study environment along with the tools and technology needed to learn in an information-rich society. The library features wire and wireless technology, a magnificent 3-level study atrium, and instructional resources in all formats.
Library computers provide access to thousands of journals and to databases with the full text of articles—and even books—that can be searched electronically.
• 21 group study rooms for collaborative learning
• 220 computers, most available on demand (25 computers are available to the general public on an as-available basis)
• Public access to nearly 3,200 electronic journals and databases
• A collection of 95,000 volumes
Spring 2005 hours are Monday through Thursday 8am to 9:45pm, Friday 8am to 3:45pm, and Saturday 11am to 4:45pm. Hours are subject to change. Public use of the library is free.
