MCC’s Paul A. Elsner Library recently added 1,800 books to
its collection.
However, these books cannot be found on the shelves of the library.
The new collection is comprised of eBooks, electronic literature
available through the internet.
Students can access the new eBooks through the MCC website.
Ann Tolzman, electronic resources librarian for MCC, called the
new eBooks, “cutting edge technology.”
Among the benefits, Tolzman cited easier access to materials for
distance learning students and access 24 hours a day from any computer
