The Mae Hilty Memorial Library exists to support the scholarship of students and faculty at TCC and to assist in providing information to the chiropractic community at large. Toward this aim, the library offers a variety of services to its patrons, and collects books, journals and multimedia materials in the areas of chiropractic, CAM, basic science and medicine, and clinical techniques. The library also provides facilities for group and individual study, computer use, printing, scanning, and photocopying.
The library houses over 10,000 volumes of books, audiovisual materials and anatomical models, and maintains current subscriptions to an array of journals and databases that allow patron access to thousands of articles in print or online. The TCC online library catalog (EOS), and health science indexes such as PubMed, Index to Chiropractic Literature, Dynamed, and SPORTDiscus are available both on- and off-campus through both Canvas and the TCC website. The library offers wireless internet service throughout the facility to accommodate personal laptops, tablets and phones. We also provide several in-house computer workstations, as well as 3 multipurpose printer/copier/scanners for use with both personal and library computers.
