Student Staff can help with general questions about the library collection and how to log on for database searching. For more specific questions or in-depth assistance with research strategies, please see the Library Director or use the Online Reference Desk service.

Collections:
The Library collection includes books, periodicals, audiovisuals and electronic resources. Currently, the Library owns approximately 15,000 physical books and approximately 17,000 electronic books (see Online Catalog link above). Approximately 150 magazine, journal and newspaper subscriptions are maintained, while an additional 5,000 full-text electronic periodicals are available through the DeVry University Online Resources. Several hundred DVDs round out the physical collection.
Library Instruction:
The Library Staff conducts in-class presentations at the invitation of the Instructor. Presentations can be general in nature or tailored to the specific topics or assignments of the class. Information Literacy, research strategies, database searching, and the Internet are some of the topics covered. If you feel that your class would benefit from such a presentation, ask your Instructor to contact the Director of Library Services. Individual instruction is available by appointment with Beverly Hughes.
Interlibrary Loan:
The Library is a member of the DuPage Library System, Illinet, and OCLC. Therefore, we can obtain materials not owned by our library through a service called Interlibrary Loan. Check WorldCat (one of the First Search databases) for holdings at other libraries around the country. Interlibrary Loan forms are available at the Circulation Desk.
Four group study or conference rooms are available in the library for students needing to work together.
The rooms are reserved in advance at the Circulation and Reference Desk.
Rooms can be reserved for up to two consecutive hours.
Groups may continue to use the room if there is no booking.
Reservations are cancelled, if no one has claimed the room by 15 minutes past the hour.
Please watch the noise levels of your voice and the doors.
Group study work should not be disturbing to others in the library.

Space for independent study is available at tables or carrels. The study carrels are networked or laptop ready.
