Services

Borrowing
Faculty members may borrow books for 120 days. DVDs and videos circulate for one week, and CDs circulate for four weeks. Your Adrian College photo ID serves as your library card. When you first visit, we will need to set up your account in our computer system, but this only takes a minute. Faculty members are not charged overdue fines (except for materials borrowed through interlibrary loan), but we do charge replacement cost for lost materials.

Interlibrary Loan
Our interlibrary loan service gives you free access to books, articles and other items not held by our library. We are able to borrow from libraries across the country. You can make ILL requests directly through many of our databases -- this is the most convenient method. You can also make requests through book and article request forms available on our website. Overdue fines for ILL materials are $1 per item per day. Teresa Blomster is the staff contact for renewals.

Off-Campus Access to Library Resources
You are able to access all our databases and electronic journals from home. When you click a database link from our website, you will be prompted for your Adrian College email username and password. If you have questions or problems with off-campus access, please contact Dave Cruse.

Bibliographic Instruction
The librarians on staff are available to work with your classes throughout the semester. We can tailor sessions specifcally for your courses and create bibliographies for students to use. Topics may include basic research skills, the library catalog, research databases, internet searching, or other research skills. We welcome your input! Contact Richard Geyer to schedule a session.

Reserves
We offer a reserve service for faculty. You can place books, articles, class notes, and other materials on reserve. Contact Teresa Blomster with questions about reserves. We do not currently have an electronic reserve system, but you can use the Sakai courseware system to post documents online for your courses. Contact David Cruse with questions about using Sakai for reserve documents.

Ordering Library Materials
We rely on faculty to help us order useful new materials for our collection. We welcome your suggestions for books, DVDs, CDs or other items to purchase. You should get Chioce cards for review through your department, and you can submit these to your department chair for purchase. There is also an order form availble on our website. Please contact Noelle Keller with any questions about ordering.
