Electronic Reserves

Electronic reserves are limited to currently enrolled students and available through Blackboard.  Use your MBC username (the first part of your MBC email address, do not include the @mbc.edu) to login to Blackboard.  Your initial password is your birth date (mmddyyyy). 

Once you login, you will see the list of courses you are enrolled in under My Courses (on the right side of the screen).  If you do not see the course you need, contact the instructor.  Open the course page and choose the Course Documents link in the sidebar.  You should see a list of all the reserve readings for the class.

Electronic reserve documents are in PDF format.  You will need Acrobat Reader to view them, which you can download for free at the Adobe web site.  If you have problems accessing the electronic reserves call 540-887-7085.

Print Reserves

Print reserves are available at the circulation desk on the main floor of the library.  Each student may checkout up to three reserves at one time.  Reserves check out for 2 hours and may not leave the library.
