Checking out materials

Present your College ID to check out materials in the library. If you teach from, for example, the South Haven campus, you can log into the Online Catalog, search for library held materials, and then request items to be sent to South Haven (or other non Benton Harbor campus). Or, if that is not possible, you can contact us at 269-927-8605 and we can send your requested items to the requested campus.

*Note: Library staff may need to set up a password for you to utilize the log in option.

Citation tool for students - create the citations and export to Word for an instant reference page

Do you assign your students a research paper? Do you want your students to learn what materials - print and online are available?  The library is here to help.   Please contact the library at 269-927-8605 to set up a library presentation.
