| How do I know if a
book is in the library?
Check infoLINK,
the Library Catalog by looking for the title or author.
infoLINK will also indicate if the book is on the shelf or
has been checked out.
How do I find the book?
You need to get the call number from infoLink.
OK, I have the
call number. Now what?
Ask the friendly people at the Reference
Desk for help. Or, you can look up the call
number explanations and book
locations.
Do you have this
book we are using for class?
We don't automatically buy all the books
used in classes. To be sure, check infoLINK, because there
is a chance that we will have it and it will be available.
But my professor said it was in the
Library!
It could be on Reserves.
Where are your fiction books?
We do not have a separate fiction section.
Check infoLink by author or title to see what we have and get
a call number.
Does the library
have any books online?
InfoLink will indicate if
a book is available online. But most of the time you will have to use
the old-fashioned paper book.
How do I check
a book out?
Bring the book and your student ID to
one the desks - the Circulation Desk at the main doors of the Batle
Library, or the Information
Services Desk in the Science Library. The Bartle and Science Libraries
also have self-checkout machines located near the front doors.
How long can I borrow books for?
If you are an undergraduate student,
a book will be due six weeks from the day you check it out.
What happens if I keep a book longer
than six weeks?
You have the option to renew your loan,
either in person or online through infoLink, unless someone
else has requested to borrow the book. If you do not return or renew
a book by its due date, then you can be fined,
just like at a public library.
How many books
can I borrow from the Library?
You really have to try to exceed this
limit! Undergraduates are allowed to check out up to 100 books at one
time.
For more information on checking
books out, go to Circulation.
