Your student id card is your library card: you will need it to check out books, media materials, and earphones. You can get a student id at Photo ID as you walk in the library, it is the door on the left. It just takes a few minutes.
You can familiarize yourself with our building by looking at our library layout, or continue on with the entire Virtual Library Tour. Group Study Rooms are available on the first floor for groups of two or more students on an as available basis.
Computers are available on the ground floor in the Reference area and on the 2nd floor in the Audiovisual area. There is a wireless network available in the Library as well if you have a laptop with wireless. Student network logins are required on the 2nd floor and for the wireless network. If you do not yet have your Citrus computer lab login, currently registered students can get it at the AudioVisual Desk on the 2nd floor. If you have lost or forgotten your login you will need to go to IS107 Computer lab building behind the LB Building.
To find textbooks for a class,
search the Library Catalog by keyword, title or author, or search in Course Reserves by course or by teacher. Course Code Directory Ask for the textbook at the RESERVE DESK, which is part of the CIRCULATION DESK, on the left as you come in the main entrance of the Library. Click here for Reserve Book Policy.
The Library does not have textbooks to purchase. Those are available at the
Owl Bookstore, across the Quad from the Library.
To find books,
look in our Library Catalog, the books themselves are on the second floor of the Library. Most books check out for two weeks, after which they can be renewed online. To renew a book, click on Renew Your Books, in the left hand column of the main Library webpage.
If a search of the catalog shows that a book is checked out or if no record for a book is found, clicking on the Nearby Libraries link will enable you to search local library catalogs.
You can also search the catalog for AudioVisual materials, also located on the second floor, at the Audiovisual Desk. Some can be checked out for off-campus use, others can be played in the AV Listening Rooms.
To find articles,
search in one or more of the databases listed in the
Databases pages. If you are off campus, you will be prompted for a login and password. You can download the current logins and passwords for Databases from the
Off-Campus Access page, which links to the
Database List with passwords. You will need your student id to access the Database List.
