Shelving Books

Each day shelving staff pick up and re-shelve books on tables, in the copier rooms, or left uncharged in carrels as well as returned library books.  Most books are shelved within 24 hours of pick up. Notes asking shelvers to leave books lying unattended on tables are not honored.

If you need to have books held for you while you leave the library, take them to the Circulation Desk and ask that they be put on hold.

Getting Help

The Reference Desk is on Sub-1. It is staffed from 9am - midnight when school is in session and from 9am - 6pm during interims. Reference staff will help you identify the materials you need, determine if the library owns those materials and help you use them.

The Circulation Desk is on Sub-2. It is staffed whenever the library is open. Circulation staff there will help you locate books or microforms once you have determined that the library owns them.
