13.5 Library

The mission of Baer Memorial Library is to provide quality resources to support the curriculum;
expert services to support Marion Military Institute cadets, faculty, and staff; and an environment
where lifelong learning is encouraged and where cadets can meet their educational,
informational, and socialization needs.

MMI cadets are allowed to use the Baer Memorial Library whenever it is open. All MMI rules
and regulations apply. Additionally, any policies and procedures established by the library staff
will be adhered to:

- Water is allowed in closed bottles. Please, no food.
- No materials may be removed without proper check out procedures.
- Uniform of the day is to be worn during the daytime hours. Class C may be worn after
1600. No PT clothing is allowed.
- Computers are to be used solely for research. Settings are not to be changed. Computer
use is a privilege that can be revoked.
- Cadet use of the classrooms and meeting rooms requires supervision by a school
employee.
- A printer, copier, and fax machine are available for cadets to use. Printouts and copies
are $.10. Copyright restrictions apply.
- Books removed from shelves should be left on tables or in designated places.
- Reference books and audiovisual materials cannot be checked out.
- Reserve books and materials are housed in a staff-only area and must be requested from a
library staff member. They cannot be checked out and must be returned to a library staff
member.

In order to check out library materials, cadets must show valid identification. Cadets are
expected to return library materials when due so others may use them. Failure to return library
materials may result in restriction to campus. Resources available include books, DVDs/videos,
and periodicals. JSTOR, an online library of academic research, is also available. It includes
scholarly journal articles, books, and more. An online catalog is located on the main library
website and can be accessed through the MMI main webpage.
