Library staff will be glad to provide general library orientation and tours, to help locate
information and materials, and to assist in the use of computer equipment. Staff will make
every effort to assist you in obtaining information from resources and in retrieving materials
from our collections. Please identify yourself and your need when you seek assistance so that
we may accommodate your request.
- Retrieving materials
- If you find that library stacks or equipment are inaccessible to you, please ask
library staff for assistance. If immediate paging of materials is not possible,
staff may make arrangements with you for pick up of the materials the following work day.
- Book renewal
- Books may be renewed in person, by telephone or may be self-renewed through
Blais, the Libraries' online catalog.
Ask at any service desk for instructions or view the
book renewal information online.
- Photocopying materials
- If you are unable to use a photocopier, please ask staff for assistance. Bring
materials to be photocopied and a copier card with sufficient value to make the copies
to a service desk, and staff will make copies for you. We cannot accept cash. If
staff are unable to leave the service desk to make copies for you immediately, you may
leave your request for pick up the following day. All photocopy requests must be in
compliance with U.S. Copyright Law. Also, the Copy Center
in Honnold/Mudd offers 24-hour turnaround time copying.
- Proxy Card
- If needed, you may designate an individual to borrow books in your name. Please have
your college notify the Circulation Department of your eligibility for this service.
The designated individual will be issued a "Proxy Card" for this purpose. Please check
with the Circulation Desk at Honnold/Mudd for further information.
