Updated Policies for tlie Use of
D. H. Hill Library at NCSU
JEAN PORTER
Contributing Writer
As many of you
know, Meredith
College and North
Carolina State
University (NCSU) are
members of a local
consortium called the
Cooperating Raleigh
Colleges (CRC). This
agreement allows stu
dents and faculty to
borrow materials from
other CRC libraries
directly without going
through interlibrary
loan. Students need a
form from the library
signed by a librarian in
order to borrow books
from NCSU. These
procedures remain
unchanged.
In addition to bor
rowing books, you
might need to use an
online database or
access an online journal
at the NCState library
that the Campbell
Library does not have.
You must use the com
puters in one of the
NCSU libraries to
search for the informa
tion. A change in poli
cy now restricts access
to most of the comput
ers in the D. H. Hill
Library only to those
people with an NCSU
Meredith’s Carlyle Campbell Library.
ID or an NCSU borrow
ing card. Six computers
have been set aside for
use by non-affiliated
people, so you may not
always be able to get on
to a computer immedi
ately when you arrive.
To help you with this
new policy, here is
some information that
might be useful. The
time limit for use of the
computer is 30 minutes.
There are no sign-up
sheets. You must just
wait in line for the next
available computer.
Staff at the reference
desk give passwords for
access. After 30 min
utes online, the comput
er will automatically
log you out whether you
are finished with your
research or not. If you
need to continue your
search, you will need to
wait for the next avail
able computer.
However, if no one is
waiting you may log
back in (with a new
password), but you will
need to reconstruct your
search, so be sure to
keep notes on your
search terms. The least
busy times for the guest
computers are Friday
evening, especially
between 5-6pm, and
early mornings.
Access to the D. H.
Hill Library building is
also restricted for out
side users. No unaffili-
ated users are allowed
photo by Tiffany Adams
into the building after
10 pm. At 10 pm, secu
rity officers make ran
dom sweeps of the
building asking for
NCSU identification.
Those without an
NCSU ID will be
asked to leave.
Because of these
restrictions, we recbm-
mend that you come to
the Campbell Library
and ask a librarian for
assistance before going
over to the NCSU
Libraries. There may
be resources available
here that you have not
discovered yet. Come
to the Information Desk
in the library for assis
tance or call the library
at 760-8095.
