We hope that this arrangement will be more convenient for our users, who may now retrieve ILL materials at any time the Library is open. Occasionally a requested item arrives in the form of microfilm or microfiche. If the material you have requested should be sent in this format, which will also be held at the Circulation Desk, you will be asked for your ID in order to use it. The new Brandeis Libraries Web made its debut on October 8th, 1997. The new web service offers greatly improved navigation of the Libraries' growing online collections and services, provides online research assistance to students and other library users through its Finding What You Need pages, and incorporates access to hundreds of electronic journals and other full-text information resources organized for ready access from any location on campus.
Many resources are available from off-campus locations as well.
We invite your comments and suggestions for further improvement. Throughout the summer library staff members from various departments discussed how to educate library users in a positive way about the damage caused by food and beverage spills in the Libraries. Members of the staff also met with a reporter from The Justice and with representatives of the Student Senate in order to explain the importance of preserving the Libraries' collections through enforcement of the Food and Drink Policy. We hope that these efforts will be successful in protecting and preserving the resources of the Brandeis University Libraries for all members of the Brandeis community.
