Ask a librarian
What is "Ask a librarian"?
This is a service where you may email
a question to a reference librarian regarding research techniques, sources,
or other information needs.
When will I hear back?
We will generally reply within twenty-four hours, unless it is the weekend
or a holiday.
How will I receive my answer?
Sometimes we'll provide information immediately, and other times we may
need to ask a follow-up question. We will always try to give you the source
of the information we have gathered, so that you the information is reliable.
Policies
Where can I find out about library policies? For instance, how many books may I check out at a time? May I borrow books from other local libraries? Check the Library handbook.
Reference
Where is the reference department?
The reference department is the north half of the library and a professional
is available to assist you with any information need.
What is included in this collection?
General encyclopedias, subject encyclopedias, dictionaries, directories, bibliographies, statistical sources, atlases, and periodical indexes in print and electronic format. Reference books and journals are for use in the library only.
How do I get help?
Just ask anyone of us at any time. Go to
the reference web page.
Reserves
What is on reserve?
Teachers place additional reading to a required textbook on reserve at the
library.
How do I access a list showing what is on Reserve?
Either go to the online
catalog or look in the binders at the
circulation desk.
Where are reserve items?
Go to the Library circulation desk for materials on reserve, as we do not
have electronic reserves at the present time.
How long may I check out a reserve item?
Loan periods and policies on reserve materials vary according to instructor.
Some items circulate overnight, some for three days, whereas some cannot
leave the library. Overnight reserves may be borrowed any time before the
library closes and must be returned to the library one hour before the library
closes the next day.
Suggest a purchase
If there is a particular book or an area of interest in which you believe the library should purchase materials, talk to the library representative in your department or email the library. Although our budget is always limited, we try our best to purchase resources that will enhance student learning and the educational mission of the university.
