Access Services

Circulation

Circulation facilitates the borrowing of LR&TS print and nonprint collections. Circulation personnel staff the Circulation Desk during all hours that the library is open, providing assistance with LR&TS resources and services to patrons. At the Circulation Desk, patrons can check-out, return or renew books, audio-visual items, audio-visual equipment (laptops, cameras, etc.), and student study rooms. The Circulation Desk also functions as a general information desk where personnel answer patron questions in person and by telephone. Additionally, circulation personnel coordinate traditional and electronic reserves, the media collection, and stack maintenance.

Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) mediates requests for materials from other libraries on behalf of SCSU students, faculty, staff and community patrons. These loans generally happen when the existing collections cannot meet the needs of patrons, for a variety of reasons. The department also responds to requests from other libraries for SCSU materials. Items borrowed from other libraries may be picked up and returned at the Circulation Desk on the First Floor.

Periodicals

Periodicals is located in the northwest corner of the first floor of the Miller Center. This area provides public service, maintenance, and open-stacks access to nearly 1,000 popular, trade and scholarly print publications, indexes, and abstracts by keeping the collection organized and accessible. Current print journals and newspapers are kept in open stacks and are available for in-library use only. Back issues of journals and newspapers are found in either the bound volume section in the basement or in the microforms area next to Periodicals on the first floor. Bound volumes may be checked out for three days. The periodicals staff also provides access to more than 15,000 electronic titles that are available online, and collects and maintains online usage data and statistics for evaluation. The staff maintains the microform readers and provides assistance to patrons in using the equipment. Periodicals staff also maintains the Miller Center public photocopiers.

Central Minnesota Library Exchange (CMLE)

The Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange (CMLE) is one of seven regional multitype library systems established to meet the needs of and share the resources of academic, public, special and school libraries. CMLE serves 282 libraries in twelve central Minnesota counties and is funded by the Minnesota Department of Education. For more information, including a list of services, go to http://www.cmle.org.
