Use our Facility
The MCAT facility is open to the general public and free to use. The facility is staffed by a media instructor whenever the library is open. The media instructor can help you get started in the three areas we provide support: studio productions, video editing and podcasting. You can book the use of these resources online once you have learned how to use them by attending an MCAT Introductory Workshop. Please call us at (406)542-6228 to arrange your first training or register on-line.
