Library The library, located on the second to fifth floors of the Gannett Center, is open 102 hours a week. It offers numerous services and resources in electronic and print formats for students and faculty in search of information. Via the library's Web page, the College community has access to over 100 electronic indexing and abstracting services and full-text databases. These services, as well as an on-line catalog, are available from computer workstations in the library, from any computer connected to the campus network, and from home using a local Internet service provider. Reference librarians are available to provide instruction on how to use various print references as well as the Internet and other electronic resources.
Librarians can recommend appropriate materials and research strategies.
Training is available to students and faculty in the use of the latest electronic indexing and abstracting services, and using the Internet for research. The library also teaches a one-credit course, Library Resources and Methods of Research, that introduces students to the organization, arrangement, and efficient use of library materials. Information resources that are necessary for educational endeavors but are not owned by the library may be obtained using the interlibrary loan service. Through the South Central Research Library Council and OCLC, the library has access to over 17,000 libraries in the United States and abroad. Other services include help with reading comprehension and study skills, individual instruction in English for nonnative speakers, and support services for students with disabilities.
