The John Moritz Library Catalog can be used to determine what books the library has in the collection on campus. The catalog can be searched by author, title, or subject. If the library owns the book, you may place a hold on that item. You can also access your library account through the catalog to renew any items that you have checked out.

F.A.Q. Searching catalog, placing holds, and renewing materials.

The library computer is dedicated for NMC students engaged in academic work. When using the computer, please do not:

Engage in any illegal or offensive activity.
Leave a computer logged into your profile.

NMC uses PaperCut to print from any of the public computers in the Clark 2nd floor engagement area, the study rooms, and the library. The default printer options for your location are preloaded. After printing from the computer, the document/s will be waiting for you to release at the printer. Please see the various sections below on how you print at NMC.

- METHODISTHOLDQUEUE will no longer work an option for printing.

- There is no option to print from your iPad or non-NMC computers.

The copier only prints and copies in black/white, but you can scan to email in color. There are two b/w multifunction copiers located on the second floor in the Office of Student Engagement, one outside the library and the other is adjacent to the advisor's suite. If you do need to print in color, stop by the Clark Reception area in the lobby to request this service.
