Library Tutorials: Getting Started

Please note that numerous recent updates to the MCC Libraries website and the databases shown in the tutorials have made some of the information discussed in the tutorials incorrect.

Some of the tutorials include instructions on where to access links on the library homepage. Those instructions are now out of date. The images of the databases are out of date now as well. NoodleTools also updated their website recently, so some citation related website details have changed. 

We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may cause. We are currently in the process of updating the videos to reflect the recent changes.

Please contact a librarian with any questions about the recent changes, about how to access library resources, or about any other questions you may have.

In order to view the tutorial videos, you'll need to have the following:

1. Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer.
