Graphic novels are books that use comic book style imagery to tell a story. The library has a diverse collection of titles, including memoirs, adaptations, and graphic nonfiction. Graphic novels are temporarily located near the print room during construction.
The library does not purchase textbooks. Sometimes, instructors may place a copy of a textbook on course reserve in the library. Course reserves enable an item to be widely available to students. Items on course reserve have very short loan periods – sometimes as short as three hours. That enables many students the opportunity to access the item.
Course reserves are available at the library desk. Want to see if your instructor placed a textbook on reserve? You can search the library’s holdings for the book title
Due to construction, the library’s private study rooms are unavailable. Additional study carrels have been moved to the south end of the library, which remains available during construction.
Construction is expected to continue through summer and fall quarters.
Students can send a print job to the library’s printer by using the wireless printing instructions.
Library users are allowed to eat and drink in the library, as long as they follow the library’s food policy which is based on the key principles of “leave no trace” and mutual respect.
Making a request to keep an item longer than the original loan period is called renewing. You will be able to renew most books you borrow. You can renew an item through your online library account or by contacting the library’s circulation department.
Some items cannot be renewed or have limits on how many times they can be renewed. The library’s borrowing policies contains the specific renewal details by item type in the loan periods section.
The library welcomes suggestions for material purchases from students, staff, and faculty.
