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. Richard Geyer 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 Blackboard system username and password. If you have questions or problems with off-campus access, please contact David Cruse.

Bibliographic Instruction
Currently, our bibliographic instruction program is limited to English 101 courses. 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 David Cruse with questions about reserves. We do not currently have an electronic reserve system, but you can use the Blackboard courseware system to post documents online for your courses. Contact Christine Adams or David Cruse with questions about using Blackboard 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.
