The Macomb County Reference and Research Center
(MCRRC), (formerly the Macomb County Library), is
gearing up for its first term of classes in its shared
facility
with Wayne State University. “We are excited about
this
new partnership and welcoming new patrons from Wayne
State, as well as seeing our long-time patrons coming
back to us,” said Manager Sandy Casamer.
“No other
public library offers what we offer in terms of
databases.”
Located in the newly-renovated WSU Macomb Education
Center at 16480 Hall Road, the Reference and Research
Center offers 75 databases to the public, as well as access
to databases from Wayne State University: some
resources
for small and medium sized businesses include the Small
Business Resource Center, and Business Decision Pro;
while investment resources include Standard and Poor’s
Net Advantage, Morningstar, Valueline, and theStreet.com.
Patrons can learn a foreign language using Byki Language,
or use Greenr, which provides new and valuable information
on the development of emerging green technologies and
discusses issues on the environment, energy, sustainability
and more.
The MCRRC also maintains a 2,000-volume reference
collection, wireless access, and 12 internet terminals for
public use. It also has databases accessible through its
new Web address: www.macombreference.org.
The Macomb County Reference and Research Center
is a public service of the Macomb County Board of
Commissioners. In 2009, the Board partnered with
Wayne
State University in a joint agreement to preserve essential
library services while eliminating services duplicated by
municipal libraries. Macomb County residents further
benefit from Wayne State University’s pledge to expand
higher education programs and opportunities in Macomb
County.
The building also shares space with Macomb
Literacy Partners,
and Macomb Library
for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.
