Research and Library Resources

Students at MTI need current information in all academic and technical disciplines. In today’s rapidly changing information-based society, MTI has found that a traditional “library” is not the best use of our resources. Instead, we have focused on providing electronic access to information. All students have Internet access in The Center. South Dakota’s Internet-based library resources provide access to academic research databases.

For additional library resources, there is a formal agreement between MTI and the Mitchell Public and Dakota Wesleyan University libraries for student access to these facilities. A student must show a student ID card and proof of residency to be eligible for public library and DWU library privileges. In addition, The Center will also order materials from libraries statewide through the state’s interlibrary loan system at no charge to students.
