In addition to books, journals, and other print materials, the library provides access to many non-print resources, including microfilms, computerized databases and other electronic information, extensive video and audio collections, a language laboratory, and a variety of computer equipment and software programs. Most materials in Bobst are accessible through BobCat, its on-line catalogue, which also lists materials housed at a number of affiliated libraries. Library orientation sessions, which provide an introduction to BobCat, the journal collection, and index services, are held each semester. Flyers announcing these sessions as well as workshops on research strategies and the Internet, are available in the library each semester. Matters relating to students who visit the Center are strictly confidential, and all records are kept separately from other areas of the University.
Services cover a wide range of disabling conditions.
In addition to working with students who have mobility, visual, and hearing impairments, the Center assists a significant number of students with learning disabilities and many others with chronic impairments, such as diabetes, cancer, HIV, psychiatric illness, head trauma, and seizure disorders. The Moses Center is staffed by a group of specialists who have a wealth of experience in helping students obtain necessary academic adjustments and accommodations based upon their individual needs. In order to receive services from the Center, students must provide appropriate documentation. All English as a Second Language students are required to take the ALI test. Students who complete the ESL sequence of courses at the ALI or the Writing Center are considered to have satisfied both the writing and the foreign-language requirements.
