Services

Following is a selective listing of the services found at the Alumni Library, along with a brief summary of each service.

Circulation

The main desk at the Library is where patrons can check out, renew, and return items from the Library's Collection.

Reserves

At faculty request, the Library places hardcopy (books, DVDs, etc.) or electronic (articles, book chapters, etc.) items on reserve. Hardcopy reserves are for in-library use only, usually for 4 hours.

Interlibrary Loan

You will probably not find every book and article you need in our library collections. Interlibrary Loan (ILL) allows you to access materials from libraries across the country.

Reference services are available during regular library hours by email, telephone, and in person. We’ll try to answer any question you ask!
