Ebooks just show up, right?\u00a0 Books in our library <\/a>just fly in on drones from Amazon, right?\u00a0 They all land perfectly in order so that they\u2019re easily found, right?\u00a0 Well, not quite.\u00a0 Even with vast resources available, every day we add more and more. The materials that students need, from journals to DVDs, are purchased and cataloged in the hopes that they will not only be found again in a large collection, but used and studied.\u00a0 Much like organizing the thousands of photos that inevitably end up on your phone, our collection at SPC contains thousands upon thousands of resources and the library<\/a> staff must put them in the proper order.\u00a0 This allows anyone to find that one, solitary book on the Australian Dreamtime in a collection of over fifty thousand books.\u00a0 When you see our carts ambling up and down the aisles as we carefully replace each returned book, know that we are doing it for you, the student, in order for you to find what you need once again.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our library<\/a> website, you can browse these collections from almost anywhere.\u00a0 Interested in space?\u00a0 Type in \u201cspace\u201d on our site and hundreds of entries for all manner of space-related materials will appear.\u00a0 If you have a student ID, you can read one of our eBooks right from your computer without even going to the library<\/a>.\u00a0 Just sign in<\/a> and read!\u00a0 Need a peer-reviewed journal for a research paper?\u00a0 We have you covered.\u00a0 Just go to eJournals and hit the \u201cpeer-reviewed\u201d button after your search and voila, the article appears complete with references that you can save in various ways.\u00a0 Your home computer has become your library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At every location we have dedicated employees working hard, diligently cross-checking call numbers, barcodes, re-shelving, finding wayward DVDs, tinkering with Arduino kits, and even checking out vinyl albums.\u00a0 So whether you want to borrow a book on particle physics, listen to Vampire Weekend on vinyl, or both, we have you covered.
