Yes! Current faculty, staff and students can access licensed library resources (databases, electronic journals, etc.) from off-campus. To do this, you'll need to go through an authentication process through a proxy server. Fortunately, it's easier than it sounds. See our connecting from off-campus page for more information.
I'd like the library to buy something, can I suggest a book/movie/score/CD?
Submit our suggest materials form and we'll look into it.
Does the library have a fax machine that I can use?
Sorry, but we do not have a public fax machine. One is available at the Warch Campus Center Info Desk at the cost of $.25 per page.
I need help with my research! What do I do?
Stop by the reference desk, call, email, submit our ask a librarian form, or set up an appointment. Our Reference Librarians are happy to help in whatever way is most convenient for you.
How long can I check out a book?
If you are a current student, books and scores can be checked out for 28 days. Faculty and staff get an end of the school year loan period. For all current students, faculty, and staff, DVDs can be checked out for 7 days, CDs for 14 days, and video games for 3 days. For more information, see our circulation page.
Is wireless Internet access available at the Mudd Library?
Wireless access is available across campus for Lawrence University faculty, staff and students. For information on how to connect to the network, see the page, Connecting to the LU Network. Access for visitors may be provided on a case-by-case basis (e.g., for visiting parents) at the reference desk by the reference librarian on duty.
