TUTORING

RESEARCH AND LIBRARY RESOURCES
Students at Mitchell Tech need current information in all academic and technical disciplines. In today’s rapidly changing information-based society, Mitchell Tech 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 Mitchell Tech, the Mitchell Public Library, and the Dakota Wesleyan University library 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.
