Faculty may use this librarian-led instructional session to help students become familiar with the libraries resources and how to best utilize the library. The reference librarian is there to help patrons in research methods and information retrieval. When the reference librarian is not available, limited information assistance is available through the Circulation Desk. Book availability service via telephone or fax is provided for up to five items, shelf checking as time permits. Printed resources include reference books, circulating books, and periodicals.
Electronic information is an extensive resource used by our patrons.
Two items for students, five items for faculty, may be borrowed from participating institutions with the pass issued from the Reference Desk. All borrowers must abide by all policies of the lending library, including loan periods, fines, and replacement changes. Faculty may either obtain a pass at the Reference Desk or borrow directly from another RALC institution by presenting proof of faculty status. Request forms must be turned in at the Circulation Desk for processing. Allow at least two weeks for your request to be filled.
