Library Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I CHECK OUT MATERIALS?

Take them to the Circulation Desk on the First Floor by the Library entrance. Remember always to carry your Eagle OneCard to check out materials and to use the Computing Commons on the Ground Floor and the Multimedia Commons on the First Floor.

IS THERE SOME PLACE IN THE LIBRARY WHERE I CAN TAKE A BREAK?

Enjoy coffee, cold beverages, light meals, or snacks in the Paradox Cafe (Room G 12- Ground Floor), open until 2:00 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays during the Fall and Winter semesters. You can also watch the College Television Network while you relax.

WHERE CAN OUR GROUP STUDY TOGETHER?

There are nearly thirty Collaborative Study Rooms on the Second and Third Floors. Rooms come with wipe boards and are on a first come, first claim basis.

WHERE CAN I FIND COMPUTERS TO DO WORD PROCESSING?

Bring your Eagle OneCard to the Computing Commons (Ground Floor). Windows and Mac workstations are available with staff ready to help you. And printing is free.

WHERE CAN I BUY A COPY CARD?

For your convenience the Halle Library uses copy cards instead of currency, eliminating the need for change. Card dispensers are located on the First Floor and accept denominations of $1, $5, $10, and $20. A $1 bill buys the reusable card encoded with $0.50 of credit. The card is good indefinitely.

WHAT IS THE AUTOMATED RETRIEVAL COLLECTION?

The Automated Retrieval Collection (ARC) is the Halle Library's on-site storage system. It currently holds 350,000 items but is capable of expanding to 800,000. Titles with copyrights before 1990 and materials not circulating in the past five years are stored in this system and can be retrieved through the online Voyager catalog. See the ARC in action.

WHERE DO I BUY A DISK? PAY FINES? FIND THE LOST AND FOUND?

Go to Client Services (Room 116- First Floor) for these services.
