Esther Raushenbush Library

All loan periods for library materials borrowed from the SLC Library collection will return to our previous library loan and fine policies. 

Students and faculty studying remotely may use the new “Request Item” button in the library catalog to have 1 or 2 chapters from print books in the library collection scanned and sent to their inboxes.

Please contact Circulation with any specific questions.

If you are having trouble finding sources, please ask. We are happy to help!

We continue to place Interlibrary Loan requests,  but please note that if you are not able to come to campus we cannot supply hardcopy materials for you. Please submit requests as usual or directly contact the ILL Department with requests for scanned portions of books.  Although we can more easily acquire electronic materials, we will try to acquire scanned copies of hardcopy material if possible.  

The Library will continue to offer one-on-one online Research Consultations  and respond to your questions using the Reference email.

Reserves will continue to be posted on the course reserves pages in MySLC. Both electronic reserves and hardcopy reserves will be available. Please contact the Reserves department with any questions.

The Library continues to fulfill Purchase Requests for e-books and streaming films. If you cannot find an e-book or streaming film that you need, please reach out to the Acquisitions department. We’ll do our best to locate what you are looking for. Purchase Requests for print materials can be submitted as well, though you will need to come to campus in order to check them out.
