A fee will be charged for late, lost, or damaged materials. Due to high demand, books, journal articles, and other materials placed on reserve typically may be checked out only for short periods. A list of items on reserve, arranged by the names of the professor and course, is maintained at the Cabell Library circulation and MRC desks. For materials not held in the libraries, interlibrary borrowing services are available in both libraries for student, faculty, and staff borrowers. These transactions can be arranged in person at the Interlibrary Loan offices or reference desks or by electronic mail.
Librarians offer workshops that feature introductions to online systems and CD-ROMs.
These courses are offered periodically and are advertised through direct mail to faculty and through campus publications. Librarians also provide instruction in library use for any subject, discipline, or class and work with faculty to customize instruction and outreach services to the particular instruction or research needs of specific courses. In addition to providing service on site, reference service is available by telephone and through electronic mail. Members of the university community who need medical illustration, graphic design of brochures, exhibits, computer slide presentations, 35mm slides, and prints have access to the services of Media Production Services. Media Support Services provide non-print materials such as slides, sound recordings, audio and videotapes.
