Information Resource Centers
MATC Library Homepage
Contains a book and audio-visual catalog, periodical databases, a virtual reference desk, and library information.

MATC’s six libraries, the main library at Truax and five information resource centers at Downtown, Watertown, Fort Atkinson, Portage and Reedsburg campuses, provide services and collections tailored to MATC students’ academic library needs.

MATC libraries offer more than 450 magazines, 65,000 books and videotapes, Internet access, and a growing number of computerized full-text databases to help students efficiently locate needed information. Online catalogs and delivery service connect all centers to provide students with fast access to titles in all collections. Access to these online resources is also available from home and office.

In addition, students have access to the online catalogs of UW-Madison, Madison Public Library and many other state libraries, and can borrow materials from these libraries through inter-library loan. To help our students use these resources, all locations provide individual assistance and class orientations to collections, services, and the research process.

The MATC libraries also provide special reserve collections of materials assigned by instructors. In addition, Truax features a small collection of books and videos for recreational purposes.

The Truax library also provides ample room for studying, and houses the campus computer lab, the student computing help desk, a drop-in tutoring service (the Learning Center) and several photocopiers.
