Generally, Martin's collection is related to the sciences, while Shad's collection focuses on the social sciences and humanities. Martin includes Archives and Special Collections, while Shad has all of the DVDs. and popular fiction and nonfiction. This location guide helps to show the difference.

Your college id is your library card.

Not exactly sure what you're asking here. We do not deliver books around campus; however, we can sometimes get articles requested through ILL on the same day.]]> 2018-04-09 14:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249834277 https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249840039 Most of our ebooks are available immediately with unlimited access--there is no checkout or return. You can view them on your computer or download them to a device. Some of them have limits on the number of users at one time. Some of them require the creation of an account for download. They can be confusing, but we are always available to answer any questions about a specific ebook you are trying to access. Currently, our ebook collections are scholarly rather than "popular" fiction and nonfiction. ]]> 2018-04-09 14:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249840039 https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249848602 We don't do that for privacy reasons. ]]> 2018-04-09 15:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249848602 https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249848610 We don't do that for privacy reasons.]]> 2018-04-09 15:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249848610 https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249865701 Does F&M offer access to any online foreign language resources such as Mango?

Currently, we do not. Many public libraries do offer Mango to their users. We are always open to new ideas!]]> 2018-04-09 15:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249865701 https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249881310 Are staff able to contribute suggestions for book purchases for the library?  If so, how?

Yes! We will work to make this form more visible on our website; however, there is a form for requesting books. It can be found here. If there is a required field that does not apply to your request, simply add "na". Feel free to request across the spectrum of books--from popular to scholarly. We make every attempt to fulfill requests as along as the material requested fits within our collection development guidelines and budgetary considerations. ]]> 2018-04-09 15:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249881310 https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249881923 Does the library have "fun" books? I never use the library because I think it only has books for the students' research.

Yes! We have what we call our "Browsing Collection". It is on the first floor in Shad near the public computers. You can look up specific titles in our catalog, or as the name says, simply browse the shelves!]]> 2018-04-09 15:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249881923 https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/249967545 Does the library offer access to news publications (such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, etc.) that often require a subscription?

We do have some audiobooks, which can be found here. These are not necessarily the "popular" audiobooks that you can get through the public library. We are open to suggestions about getting more!]]> 2018-04-10 11:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/250202549 https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/250226222 Yes!

No. What a great idea! Although everyone is always welcome to contact any or us at any time.]]> 2018-04-11 15:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bonnie_powers/rvxxv0a8kot0/wish/250753172
