Eberly Library. The Eberly Library’s mission is to provide students and faculty with the resources they need for assignments, for teaching, and for personal growth. Some of these resources are physically present in the library; others are provided online to students wherever they may be. The library’s physical collections are located in the recently remodeled Eberly Library, named for the Eberly Foundation of Uniontown, Pa. During the academic year, the library is open from 7:30 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Thursday, and shorter hours on the weekends. In the library are some 90,000 books, 2,000 CD sets, and nearly 3,500 films on videocassette and DVD. The library also subscribes to about 150 periodical titles in print and hundreds more electronically. The library, of course, is more than just books. It is increasingly a place where students come for help, to search the computers or to attend classes. The Knox Computer Lab on the ground floor is very heavily used during the semester. The Director of the Knox Learning Center and the Director of Center for Student Success and Disability Services, whose offices are located on the ground floor, are also available to assist students during the course of their education.
