The Barbara Fields Memorial Library, located in Room 120, contains the Hammond Reference Collection, books, magazines, fiction, nonfiction, and biography collections. It houses videotape and audiotape collections that support both Judicial Reporting and Human Potential courses. Computers connected to the Internet are available for student use during library hours.
The Library staff is dedicated to serving the learning resource needs of the students and employees of Midstate College. To fulfill this mission, the Library has entered into a combination of agreements and reciprocal relationships with other Illinois libraries to provide extensive library services. As a participant in the Alliance Library System/Resource Sharing Alliance (a system of cooperative libraries in Central Illinois), borrowing privileges for books and materials are extended to our students and faculty. Through connections to all Illinois libraries, access to books and resource materials are available on a statewide basis.
Midstate College online resources include five major online databases. They are: EBSCO, Facts.com, OCLC FirstSearch, the Electronic Library, and Lexis-Nexis. There are numerous links to Internet resources including newspapers, books, magazines, encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauruses, and search engines.
The Hammond Reference Collection is housed in the Barbara Fields Memorial Library. The reference collection, named for the family of Arline H. Bunch, former Chairman of the Board and Executive Vice President, and her sister, Zelma Hammond Shoemaker, former librarian of the College, is kept up-to-date by constant review and renewal. Reference materials from the collection may only be used in the library. However, photocopies may be made in the library at $.10/page.
The Library also provides academic support resources such as makeup testing, tutoring, mentoring and coaching. For exam makeup, the student comes to the library at a time scheduled with the library staff and completes the test there.
