The Access Services Department is on the First Floor of the library at the first desk on the left as you enter the building. The Department is open all hours the library is open. It manages circulation functions for the Main Collection, course reserves, the library's automated system, digital imaging, University Archives and the Dornish Collection.
Circulation Functions The Information Commons Desk is the place to come to charge out library items, return items, ask questions about fines or overdues, get help finding materials on the shelves, check out course reserves, ask about electronic reserves, borrow a laptop to use in the library, charge out AV equipment, get help with the photocopy machines, pick up books borrowed on Interlibrary Loan, or use materials from the Archives Room or the Dornish Collection.
