Collections
Print collections are maintained on each Moultrie Technical College campus.
Additionally, we maintain cooperative agreements with some local public
libraries and with other area college libraries. These collections can be accessed
through Interlibrary loan.
In addition to our print collection our patrons have access to encyclopedias,
dictionaries, almanacs, periodical databases, and approximately 16,362 e-
books through GALILEO. These, along with other subscription based
electronic tools, ensure that our patrons have access to the most current
information available.

3. Resources
Resources
Many resources are available on our web page and through our Library
Catalog.
GALILEO is the gateway to databases, to some full-text articles, and to e-
books. It is available on-campus and off-campus. Contact us to get the
