Faculty can add students to their library account using the proxy borrower form to allow students to check out items on your account.
Instructors who wish to use media materials (videos, 16mm films, DVDs, slides) in their classes may schedule them for a period of up to two weeks. Media can be picked up at the Circulation/Reserve Desk. Requests can be made anytime prior to the date the media is needed, but requests should be made as far ahead of time as possible to ensure the item is here when you need it.
Items can be renewed providing that there are no pre-existing requests for the item. To renew, contact the Circulation Desk at 231-6340 or by email. Media cannot be renewed by using My Library Account.
To access titles and call numbers for specific items, please consult Addison.
