Library Services for Students
All media housed in the library are indexed in the online catalog. Equipment for using non-circulating media in-house is available for students, faculty and staff.
Circulating Media
Audiotapes, videotapes, CDs and DVDs are housed in an area adjacent to the Periodicals Reading Room, and may be checked out at the Circulation Desk. The library has a large number of audiocassette "books on tape" and a big collection of movie classics and nonfiction topics on videotapes, as well as a growing collection of CDs and DVDs.
Non-Circulating Media
A selection of videotapes and DVDs is available primarily to instructors for use in the classroom. Faculty may elect to place ordinarily non-circulating media on reserve for students; otherwise, students and the public may use non-circulating media in the library.
