Course Reserves
If you would like for the library to keep material on hand for your students to use during the semester, please bring them to the circulation desk with your Name, email address, phone number, and course name and number. Faculty members are responsible for picking up their materials at the end of the quarter. Library materials can also be put in course reserves, but they will still be available for use by all patrons via a 2-hour, in-library checkout.
Create Stable Links to Catalog Materials
If you would like to send a link of either a set of search results or a specific catalog item you will need to use Ebsco’s Permalink feature. If you copy and paste the URL from the top of your browser, that link will not work after your session has ended.
To create a Permalink for a set of search results, click on the “Share” and then copy the Permalink URL at the bottom of the dropdown menu.
To create a permalink to a specific item in the catalog go into the item record by clicking on the title. Choose the Permalink feature from the right hand menu. The link will appear above the title.
Your Research
Alerts
To receive notifications on when new materials on your field of research are added to the library collection you can set up alerts through EbscoHost.
After you have entered your search terms, click on the “Share” button to the upper right of your search results. You can then choose to receive updates via email or RSS feed.

Book requests take from 4-6 weeks for delivery. When a book is requested there is a mandatory book return charge that is payable upon receipt of a requested ILL book or other returnable ILL item. The charges range from $6.50 to $15.00. Faculty and staff must be approved by their Departmental Director to charge ILL fees to the Department’s account. Students are responsible for submitting their own ILL requests. |
