ACADEMIC RESOURCES
                                               UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES                                     Index

                                               

University Libraries-comprising Ablah Library, the Music Library, and the Chemistry Library--has more information resources than ever to offer the students.  Students can access information through a variety of electronic formats, such as the Internet or subscription databases, in addition to traditional book, periodical, and newspaper materials that are located at the three reference locations.  Reference Librarians are available at the Ablah Library Reference Desk (first floor) for the majority of the hours that the Library is open (daytime, evenings and weekends) to assist students in finding the print or electronic information they need. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this assistance.

 

The University Libraries Online Catalog is a basic reference tool. Students can search by author, title, subject and keyword from workstations on each floor of Ablah Library or from any other location with Internet access. Students can pick up printed brochures that describe library services, facilities, workshops, etc. at the Reference Desk or locate this information on the University Libraries’ Website at http://library.wichita.edu/ . The Website is the portal to the Online Catalog, over 100 databases, Special Collections, and electronic research assistance.  It includes a Student Toolbox button that links the University Libraries information, services, and assistance.

 

The Circulation Desk on the first floor of the Ablah Library is open all hours that the Library is open. Students must stop at the Circulation Desk to check out materials.  Their Shocker Card is their library card and may also be used to check out battery-powered laptop computers that can access the library’s wireless network.  Personal laptops may also be configured to access the wireless system.

 

Advanced reservations may be made at the Circulation Desk (978-3582) to use three of the 23 group study rooms that are available at Ablah Library.  The remaining 20 study rooms may be used on a first-come/first-served basis.  “Lost and Found” is also located at the Circulation Desk and text books may be “desensitized” there at the beginning of the semester so they don’t set off the security alarm when entering Ablah Library.

 

Another important service point for students is the Reserve area on the first floor of Ablah Library. Staff are available all hours the Library is open to assist students with materials put on "reserve" by faculty members for their classes, the most recent issues of all the library’s periodicals, videotapes, and microforms. In addition to Internet-access computers on all four floors of Ablah Library have word processing and spread sheet capabilities. These are also available in the Reserve Area and the 24‑Hour study room.  The Reserve area also makes a scanner and color printer available to students. 

 

Hours are posted at the Ablah Library's entrance and on the website at http://library.wichita.edu/.  To listen to a recording of the Library’s current hours at any time, students may call 978‑3481. For additional information, please contact the Reference Desk at 978‑3584.
