Modesto Junior College (MJC)

Modesto Junior College (MJC) moved into their newly-remodeled East campus Library & Learning Center on January 13, 2014. It is a wonderfully-synergistic center that combines research instruction and tools along with the academic services of tutoring, including a writing center, subject-specific tutoring, and supplemental instruction. Several group study rooms have been added and there are over 170 computers. One student commented, “The new library makes me feel proud to be an MJC student. It feels like a real university library.”

Staffing changes at MJC include, Brian Greene, a new full-time librarian who works in the West campus center handling research instruction, collection development, and liaison responsibilities; and Jillian Daly, a new Dean of Library & Learning Center and Literature & Language Arts. Before becoming dean, Jillian Daly was a tenured-faculty member of the Literature & Language Arts Division and the President of our Yosemite Faculty Association.

Both Columbia College and MJC are in the process of implementing OCLC’s WMS ILS.
