TSI Test Prep Books Available at the MCC Library

The MCC Library has several test preparation books available to help you prepare for the TSI Assessment. To find these materials, search the keyword "TSI" in the library catalog.

How to Place a Book on Hold

Visit the Borrowing Books guide to place a hold and have a book reserved for you.

1. From the MCC Library Search Tool, find the book you want and place a "Hold" on it. If the book is checked out, you'll be added to the queue and emailed once it's available.
2. Select the "Request Item" button, found in the bottom right corner of each search result or underneath the summary on the Item Information page.
3. Enter your 7-digit ID Number (Student, Faculty, or Staff) and click "Login."
4. Complete the "Request Confirmation" box and click "Request." You'll see a message confirming your request was successfully placed.
5. You'll receive an email when your hold is ready. You'll have seven days to pick it up at the library.
