Need help finding sources? Not exactly sure what a peer-reviewed article is? Stop by the library, and we can help you out! Don't have time to make it up here? You can always make an appointment with a librarian, email Jonathan at jlbeam@coloradomtn.edu, or go here for some tips.

Tutoring happens in-person and online for students who are here on our Steamboat Campus. Libby Foster is our Tutoring Coordinator and she is here to help! Contact her with any questions or scheduling issues and she will help you get what you need!

The tutoring schedule for both in-person and online tutors is located at coloradomtn.edu/tutoring.

CMC and Marmot Catalog
Need to find books, movies, graphic novels, or music? Follow this link to search both CMC's local collections, and the Marmot Library Network, which includes numerous public and academic libraries.
Prospector Catalog
If you can't find something in the CMC and Marmot Catalogs, try searching in Prospector! Prospector includes most academic and public libraries from Colorado, including CU, CSU, DU, and Denver Public Libraries.
Books in alternative formats - Internet Archive
"Free books for the people with disabilities that impact reading. If you have a disability that interferes with reading printed text then all of these books can be instantaneously available in your browser or via protected download."
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
Please email cmclibraries@coloradomtn.edu if you are in need of an item that our libraries do not have direct access to - the service is free and we can get actual books or articles for you.
Books in alternative formats - National Library Service
"National Library Service (NLS) is a free braille and talking book library service for people with temporary or permanent low vision, blindness, or a physical, perceptual, or reading disability that prevents them from using regular print materials. Through a national network of cooperating libraries, NLS circulates books and magazines in braille or audio formats, that are instantly downloadable to a personal device or delivered by mail free of charge."

Community patrons i.e. anyone who is not taking a CMC course or who does not work for CMC are very welcome in our library in-person to explore and use our physical resources. Our community members can be issued a library card to check out any of our items other than our technology items and/or reserve items (although community members may be permitted to use those items in the library depending on their availability and student demand).

Because our databases require authentication via a Basecamp login, the only way a community member can access our databases - and only from campus - is for this small selection of databases that are available via IP authentication. This list is currently found at: https://library.coloradomtn.edu/ipdatabases.
