The MRC has videos and slide/audio cassette programs available for loan to MCJA staff, law enforcement/corrections personnel and the highway safety community. View current listings. Even though the emergence of the Internet has brought a wealth of information to your desktop, books are still a prime source of information. Supporting MCJA's diverse interests, the Media Resource Center has over 3000 books on a wide variety of subjects. Criminal justice, supervision and computing are just a few of the areas covered by the main collection. Books are catalogued and arranged according to the Library of Congress Classification System. You may find specific authors, titles or subject areas using the card catalog available in the Media Resource Center. Books in the main collection are available for up to a 4-week loan to MCJA staff, law enforcement/corrections personnel, the highway safety community, students and other interested parties. The reference collection includes a number of encyclopedias, statutes, indices, maps, manuals and more. These materials are available for day use on MCJA premises only. The MRC subscribes to a number of magazines and newsletters. Training, law enforcement and corrections are among the subjects available. Magazines and newsletters may circulate for 2 weeks. View current holdings. Documents, magazine articles and newspaper clippings are filed
in folders arranged by subject. The vertical files are indexed

These items may circulate for up to 2 weeks to MCJA staff and law enforcement/corrections personnel. The MRC has 4 sets of Fatal Vision Goggles available for loan to MCJA staff, law enforcement/corrections personnel and the highway safety community. Enclosed in each set are 3 pairs of goggles (.20, .08, .08 night), a video and a training guide. It is encouraged that users request goggles well in advance of when they are needed to ensure availability of these popular resources. Daren, the D.A.R.E. lion and McGruff, the Crime Dog suits are available for loan to the law enforcement community for programs and events throughout the state of Maine. Due to their size, the suits must be picked up at the MRC in Vassalboro. The suits should be returned to the MRC by the agreed upon due date in good condition. If the suit is returned dirty or torn, cleaning/mending fees may be incurred by the borrower. The paperback collection is a small collection of popular fiction books. Please feel free to browse and borrow anything that might interest you. Please return your selection upon completion. Donations to this collection are gratefully accepted by the MRC staff. |
