Library Virtual Tour

Mudd Library - Main Floor

Entrance to the library.  Note the drop-box next to the door.  Use this when the library is closed to return your materials.  When you enter, you will be in the Mudd building.  The Stockwell building is connected to the Mudd building by a windowed corridor, or what most people refer to as "the bridge."
Library Directory.  As you walk into the building, on the wall to the left is a directory of all staff people who work in both the Mudd and Stockwell buildings.  This includes library employees, FURSCA, Learning Support, and the Academic Skills Centers.    
Circulation Desk.  Circulation Desk workers assist you with checking in and out materials.  This is also where you get course reserves and wireless laptops; renew interlibrary loan materials and check out foreign language instruction audiovisual material.

Reference Desk.  Librarians assist patrons with a variety of research questions.  During the school year, the Reference desk is open for business the following hours:

Monday - Friday:                   Sunday:

10 am - 5 pm                          2 pm - 5 pm

6 pm - 9 pm                            6 pm - 9 pm

Reference Collection.  These materials are for in-library use only as they are the most essential part of the library collection.  
Public Access Computers.  These computers are available for online research.  Patrons have access to the library catalog, online journals and databases, full-text articles, and the ability to search all library holdings using FirstSearch.  View this site for the library's policy on public access computer use.
Photocopiers.  The library offers four photocopiers, two in the Mudd building and two in Stockwell.  They can only operate with a copy card, and each copy  will debit your card by $.05.  You can purchase a card from the "Plasti-Cashier" which is located in the library lounge on the Mudd side, or in the Ferguson building.  Sorry, it doesn't make change!
  Copy Card Dispenser.  The copy card dispenser, also called the Plasti-Cashier, is located in the library lounge near the vending machines.  You must use a card to operate the copiers in the library.  Don't forget to sign your card!

Each card initially costs $1.00, but your card will be credited $0.50.  To add more money to card, insert the card back into the dispenser, and feed in $1, $5, $10 or more.  This machine does not accept change.

  Mudd Level 2 Oversize.   This level also houses all the books deemed "oversize" for call numbers A through L, and P.
Audio/Visual Collection.  The library owns over 3,000 videos and DVDs.  A small collection of multimedia CDs are in the same area.  Audiotapes, however, are shelved in the regular collection by call number. 

Lounge Area.  This is an area for patrons to study in a relaxed atmosphere, get a snack or something to drink. 
Technical Services Department.  This is the area where books are ordered, received,  processed and generally "readied" before they are shelved in the library.  A busy place! 
Classrooms.  The Mudd building offers two classrooms, 209 and 210, for meetings and bibliographic instruction.  The classrooms may be used separately or as one large room.  

Mudd 209 has a chalkboard, a projection screen and a network connection.  

Mudd 210 has a visualiser, an InFocus data projector, a network connection, cable access, and the use of the VCR, DVD and laserdisc players.

Telephone.  This is the public use phone, located next to the elevator.  Just dial "9" to make a local call, or use your pin number to make a long-distance call.  The library does not have a pay phone. The Kellogg Center is the closest location to access a pay phone.
Elevator.  The library has an elevator in each building for patron use as well as the transport of book carts.  Say "hi" to our hard-working shelvers if you meet one on the elevator!
Now, let's head downstairs to Mudd Level 1....
