Announcements

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak the library asks all visitors to adhere to campus physical distancing guidelines and to wear a face mask at all times while in the building. The Library staff and our facilities support team are following increased cleaning protocols and a hand sanitizer fill station is available at the entry to the building. We have reduced seating in all study areas and closed group study rooms to enforce physical distancing. Single study carrels are still available. All public computer workstations have been removed and we encourage students to bring their own laptop if they plan to work in the library. However, students may borrow a laptop at the Circulation desk for in-library use. For more information on laptop lending see the Circulation Services section below. 

Be sure to return any checked out library materials you have before you leave campus.

Circulation

Several changes and new services have been introduced in response to COVID-19. With the removal of desktop computer stations, students can now check out laptops at the circulation desk. These laptops are for use in the library only and must be returned before closing. Laptops will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between uses.

Campus community members can now request books and DVDs to be pulled from our collection for pickup at the Circulation desk. Requests can be placed through Library user accounts in OneSearch. When returning materials please use the library book drops rather than placing items on the Circulation desk. 

Several equipment loans require borrowers to fill out an Agreement Form each semester or academic year. The links to submit these forms are

Wireless Microphone Agreement Form (Faculty/Staff Only)

Course Reserves

While Course Reserve textbooks will be available for students to borrow for in-library use, we will be wiping down book covers and quarantining books for 4 days when items are returned. However, at request, we will loan materials that have not been fully quarantined with the warning that users should wash or sanitize their hands before and after using the textbook.

We encourage faculty to use digital textbooks and learning materials, such as etextbooks and open education resources when possible, to ensure that students will be able to access their learning materials from any location. If a faculty member is using only a small portion of a textbook, Library staff may be able to scan pages that can be posted in BlackBoard course shells. Library staff will conduct a fair use assessment to determine if a scanning request falls within copyright provisions. Email us at library@morrisville.edu to ask about scanning services.

Our librarians, who are familiar with fair use provisions and are experts at finding content, can help faculty find learning materials. Under the current conditions, there will be times when we cannot find the perfect resource, but working with faculty, we can likely identify adequate resources. Email us at library@morrisville.edu if you need help. Faculty can also consult the Copyright Primer for information on how to evaluate if their use of copyrighted materials complies with fair use.
