Together they house a collection of more than 245,000 volumes and 933 periodicals and newspapers. The library also maintains videotape collections housed in the Department of Audio-Visual Services, as well as collections of scores, CDs and records in the Music Library, located in Patterson Hall. Some of the regular facilities and functions located within the library are interlibrary loan, database searching, the Curriculum Library, the College archives, and group study rooms. To provide the best service possible, the Library works cooperatively with other libraries both regionally and nationally. The objective of each of these library organizations is to make available far more material to each cooperating library than any one of these libraries has in its own collection.
Every student has an account on the campus network.
This account gives access to electronic mail, the Internet, and numerous other tools for enhancing personal productivity and the learning process. Faculty and students can collaborate at any time using electronic mail and shared storage folders. In addition, students living in residence halls can connect appropriately equipped Intel-based PCs directly to the network via wall jacks in every student room. Each of these classrooms contains a workstation which provides access to the campus network and the Internet. Scanning and color printing are available for special projects.
