Library features useful media and amenities
If your undergraduate experience is anything like mine was, you’re probably feeling the financial aid pinch about this time of year. Fortunately for you, there are plenty of ways Alkek Library can help you save a little bit of money. Printing is free, quick and easy on the 2nd floor or in the computer lab on the 4th floor, and there’s no limit to how many pages you can print. On the 4th floor, you can also print wirelessly from your own laptop, as long as it is Windows-based. Then you don’t even have to wait in line for a computer. Scanning is free too, on the 3rd and 4th floors. Our stateof-the-art KIC scanners allow you to copy and crop photos as well as scan articles or book pages, and you can email the files to yourself or save them on a USB drive. Instead of forking out for your favorite magazine or newspaper this month, check the Periodical List from the Library Homepage to see if we subscribe to it online or in print. You’ll find current magazines, newspapers and journals on the 3rd floor, as well
as older issues dating back to 1960. While you’re up on the 3rd floor, talk to our friendly staff about textbooks at the Reserve Desk. A lot of faculty ask us to keep books on reserve so students won’t have to buy them. You can usually check them out for two hours to read in the library. Next, head over to the media section on the other side of the Reserve Desk. There are plenty of DVDs and CDs (or videos, cassettes and LPs if you’re so inclined) that you can check out for free. If you want a particular book, article or DVD that we don’t have, we can borrow it for you from another library through Interlibrary Loan. Finally, be sure to check your library account online or talk to circulation staff to see when materials are due back, especially reserve materials, special materials, media and equipment. Your savings won’t seem so great if you end up paying late fees, and we want to help you save money!
