Where do I return my books? Am I getting fined if I can't return them?

Beginning May 11, 2020, you may return library books, DVD & CD disks (check-outs from Stan State Library, through CSU+ & Interlibrary Loan) to the two book drops on campus. The book drops are located by the Reflecting Pond and by the Library Annex LX25.

Library loans that were due during the library closure have all been extended. We will also waive overdue fines incurred during the current semester. If you have any questions please contact Library Circulation Department at questions@library.csustan.edu.

(Rental textbooks from the campus Bookstore should be returned to the Bookstore, not the Library book drops.)

 

Are the study rooms open?

The study rooms, Library Annex 8, 9, and 26, are currently closed, as well as the circulation and research desk in Library Annex 25. If you have any questions please contact questions@library.csustan.edu.

 

Can I still access Course Reserves materials my professor assigned to my class?

Summer 2020 classes are being delivered online. Students are not encouraged to come to campus due to the COVID-19 situation. The Circulation Desk in Library Annex LX25 is currently not open and Course Reserves materials in print format are not accessible at this point. If you are enrolled in a summer 2020 class and Library Reserves materials are listed on your reading list, please consult your instructor for further advice.

If you have any questions, please contact the virtual Circulation Desk at questions@library.csustan.edu or speak with a reference librarian at library_reference@csustan.edu or chat for research assistance.

 

Can I still access articles, books, and videos online?

The University Library will continue to have access to digital materials, including media, ebooks, articles, databases and more, available to you off-campus. Use OneSearch to find these online resources. To stream videos online, visit our streaming video guide for more information. You will need to log-in to acquire materials using your campus username and password. Articles, books, and videos in print format are not available due to the closure of Library Annex 25.

Ask us for help, via email or chat, if you have any questions.

  • Quick tips to access peer-reviewed or scholarly sources: When searching through OneSearch and our databases, limit your search to peer-reviewed journals (in OneSearch) or peer-reviewed scholarly articles (in databases like EBSCOhost) and use the full text available links in OneSearch or the full text PDF links in the databases to view the articles.

 

I used to use software on the library's computers that I can't access now. What should I do? 

You can get access to some software tools by visiting the Licensed Software Tools page on OIT’s website to learn about what software is available to students, including temporary at-home access due to COVID-19. Tools listed include Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, SPSS Statistics, and VoiceThread. Please be aware, some of this software is only temporarily accessible off-campus.

 

Can we still request items through Interlibrary Loan (ILL)? What about CSU+?

We can digitally deliver journal articles from the University Library collection and from other libraries directly to your campus e-mail via Interlibrary Loan. Use OneSearch to search for articles and journals online. However, you cannot request book items from CSU+ and Interlibrary Loan at this time, due to the suspension of courier service.

 

Can I still get research help?

Of course! Librarians are available to chat with you 24/7. If you need to make an appointment with a librarian for research help, please e-mail Library_Reference@csustan.edu for help via phone, email, or Zoom.
