How to use UCS Library resources
Materials may either be used in the library or they may be checked out
for up to seven days. Materials that may be checked out are marked with
a green “check out”sticker. Major occupational guides, directories,
and loose-leaf binders cannot leave the library and are so marked with
a red “not available for checkout”sticker. These are reference
resources which are costly and in much demand. Please respect the needs
of your fellow students and keep these resources in UCS. A copier is available in the Library. Copies cost 8 cents per page with your CAV Advantage card.
How to check a book out
Books must be checked out and returned at the cart next to the
Information Desk.
- Print your name, address, telephone number, social security number,
email address, and resource I.D. number on the checkout page. You may check out up to 1 book at a time.
- Please date stamp your books, with the stamp provided on the cart.
- Books must be returned within 7 days to the Reception Desk. Notices
of overdue books will be emailed. If a book is not returned in a timely
manner, the Bursar's office will be notified. A hold is placed on your
record until either the book(s) is returned or restitution is made.
Removal of unchecked Library materials is theft and is
considered a violation of the Honor System.
How the Library is organized
All materials in the UCS Library are listed in the Keyword Reference
System, a computer program that references books in the library by title,
subject, and/or author. Keyword Reference can be accessed through the
computer terminals in the Career Library. The “Help/Instructions”option
which appears on the Keyword menu is a brief 3 minute tutorial which
will be of help to new users. Books are arranged in the library by general
categories and occupations.
