Access Services Department
The Access Services Department is located at the main desk just inside the library entrance. This is where books and other circulating materials are checked out, returned and renewed. This desk also houses the collection of printed class reserves and is the pickup point for items requested from other libraries through the CIRCUIT and Interlibrary Loan.
The Access Services staff is available to help patrons to access the library’s collection, locate services and resources within the library, to help search for material that patrons cannot locate on the shelf, to place holds on items that are currently checked out and to renew items so as to avoid late fees. The Access Services Department is also responsible for reshelving returned items in a timely manner and for general maintenance of the collection. It is the Access Services Department’s creative and diverse staff that keeps the library running from open to closing each day and provides around-the-clock support for library patrons.
