We do not collect fines on overdue items; however, you may not check out or renew other items until overdue items have been returned.

Every borrower is responsible for library materials checked out in his/her name.

John Moritz Library participates in the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement of the Nebraska Library Association College & University Section.
Reciprocal borrowing is an agreement whereby the faculty of participating Nebraska colleges and universities may borrow library materials at other participating libraries. This provides Nebraska's higher education community a convenient alternative to interlibrary loan. John Moritz Library extends borrowing privileges of only print resources [excluding serials and reference items] to faculty of participating institutions. Borrowers must present valid faculty identification from their own institution.
Additional details about the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement are available on the website of the College & University Section of the Nebraska Library Association:
Computers
Library computers are primarily for NMC students engaged in academic work. When using computers, please do not:
Neither the library nor the college is responsible for corrupted or lost files.
Always print to the MEDTHODISTHOLDQUEUE
NMC uses a virtual hold queue which allows you to release your printouts from any multifunction copier on campus. The copier only prints and copies in black/white, but you can scan to email in color. There are other b/w multifunction copiers located on the second floor in the Office of Student Engagement, one is TRIO space and the other is adjacent to the study rooms. If you do need to print in color, stop by the Clark Reception area in the lobby to request this service.
The central role of John Moritz Library is to support the teaching, learning, and research of students and faculty in health care education at Nebraska Methodist College (NMC). We seek to ensure that the information needs of students, faculty, and other library users from the health system are satisfied through a current collection of library resources and quality services. Through a commitment to the core values of learning, excellence, caring, respect, and holism, the library staff seeks to ensure academic and service excellence.
