Congratulations to all of our graduates. We frequently get questions about what happens to library access after graduation.
We have a growing collection of over 3900 DVD titles, including education titles, documentaries, TV series, blockbusters, indies, and foreign films. DVDs are searchable in Addison by title, actor/director, subject, and call number. You can also view a complete list of DVDs. Here are the top 50 checked out DVDs this year.
The addition of Summon to our searchable resources last summer significantly changed how library patrons find resources. It effectively incorporates the functions of the other three search tabs on the home page (Addison, Databases, and Journals). Here are the top 20 searches for the 2011-2012 academic year.
Our popular reading collection is made up of best sellers and recently published fiction and non-fiction. (Old timers would know this as our browse books collection.) This collection is located on the exterior wall beside the second floor Learning Commons. These books check out for 21 days and cannot be renewed. Here are the most checked out books from this collection this year:
Remember to turn in any items checked on on your account (library or Interlibrary Loan books, DVDs, videos or CDs) before you leave town for the summer. Often students forget to turn in items, and then accumulate fines for overdue fees or for recalled books. Check your library account online to see if there are any library items checked out to you. Check your Interlibrary Loan account for ILL items as well.
We track common searches in Addison to improve your search experience. (We gather aggregate data; we can't track individual searches or associate searches with patrons.) Here are the top 20 searches for the 2011-2012 academic year.
New materials lists for items cataloged in April 2012, have been posted.

You can reply to a courtesy notice or overdue notice sent to your cell phone, or send a message directly to the library's short code phone number (35143) with the text renew to renew all eligible items on your account (use My Library Account to renew individual items). You will receive one of two responses:
