Cataloging is a public service! The activities accomplished in the Technical Services Department contribute to the delivery of information and support the teaching mission of the College. We acquire, catalog and process materials in all formats, including e-resources. We create and maintain the Library's online catalog, physically process materials for library circulation, maintain the periodical collection through holdings creation, and are available to assist in verifying bibliographic information and availability for materials in any format.
