The Blommer Science Library houses the science collection and provides information services for the biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics programs. While most current science materials are located in the Blommer Science Library, many older items are stored in the Lauinger Library, the Riggs Library, and off-campus storage. This fee based service is best used for complex research topics, or when a particular database is only available using this service. Below is a list of the science databases. Checking Out Materials w You may borrow an unlimited number of books from the Science library, Lauinger Library, and from Woodstock Theological Library.
Books requested by other patrons have a two-week loan period.
Renewing Books w You may renew a book three times, for six weeks at a time, if no one else has requested it. You may request a Search at the Circulation Desk for a book you cannot find on the shelf. Recalls w Normal circulating books are subject to recall after two weeks. Books to be placed on course reserve, however, are subject to immediate recall. If specialized materials needed for your research are not available at Georgetown, we can often obtain them from research libraries throughout the world.
