The Circulation Department is located on the first floor
of the University Library. The Circulation desk is staffed all hours the library is open.
This department handles checkin and checkout of all circulating resources in the library.
Circulating resources include the general collection, current interest books, government
documents, reserves, multi-media resources, and other
collections. For information about
circulation periods for different patron types, call the circulation desk at 726-2748,
email the library, or visit our departmental homepage.
Multimedia
The University Library offers a wide spectrum of educational multi-media resources.
Multi-Media houses an extensive microfilm and microfiche collection. In addition to that
collection, Multi-Media is home for the music library with musical scores and over one
thousand compact discs ranging from classical to jazz available for checkout. Patrons
also have access to a growing video/DVD collection with over sixteen hundred tapes. This
collection contains something for everyone with topics from religion to math to current,
popular titles that are available for checkout.
Multi-Media also maintains an assortment of media equipment. This list includes slide
projectors, overhead projectors, screens and camcorders, digital video and still cameras,
and LCD projectors all available for checkout. Some inhouse use items only include TVs,
VCRs, compact disc players, record players, and tape decks.
Circulation of multimedia equipment varies for patron types. While most of the
equipment may be checked out by faculty and staff, only students may check out video and still
cameras, and LCD projectors. Faculty and staff may check out these items from the
Technology in Learning Center. Special patrons
may not check out any equipment.
For further information concerning the Multi-Media's collection or equipment availability,
please call 726-2029 or email the library at library@samford.edu.
