Library "Ambiance"
The Library is intended to be a quiet place for study and research. Noise should be kept to a minimum, and quiet talking only will be allowed. Four group study rooms with networked PCs are available in the Library for students who need to work together. These can be reserved in advance at the Circulation and Reference Desks. Please show respect for your fellow students and keep the noise level to a minimum. Students causing a disruption will be asked to leave the Library.
Cell phones must be set to "vibrate" while using the Library. Please take your phone conversations to the hall.
Services
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. 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 Library Staff.
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.
Group Study Rooms:
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. Ask our Student Assistants for help.
Individual Study Space:
Space for independent study is available at tables or carrels. Most of the study carrels are networked and laptop ready.
Audiovisual Equipment:
Equipment is available for viewing audiovisual items in the Library Group Study Room 128A.
