General Information

Welcome!  This site is for faculty and students who are teaching or are enrolled in Midway College classes that do not physically meet at the Midway campus.  The Little Memorial Library supports and enhances the activities of the college by providing resources, services and instruction that meet the educational and informational needs of students, faculty and staff wherever the programs or courses are located and however they are delivered.  If you have any comments or suggestions for this web page, please let us know.

Getting Started
Midway College faculty, staff and students can now access most of the library databases off campus by logging in with their Midway email username and password.  If your email account is jstudent@midway.edu, you will log on with the username jstudent and your email password, the same way you log into your own Midway email.  Students should have been issued their Midway email accounts at the time of their enrollment. 

If you are having trouble logging on, click here.  If you do not have a Midway College email account, click here.
