Finding materials in the Learning Commons

Because of the limited space on the third floor, only some of the collection is available for browsing. The following collections are located on the third floor:

• Current thesis & dissertation collection (1971 to the present)
• Folio (oversized sized) materials
• Worship/preaching resources
• Current periodicals
• Reference collection
• Circulating books from 1970 and newer, as well as some older materials.

All other materials (back runs of periodicals, circulating books that are older and haven't been used in the last five years, older thesis materials) are located in compact storage in the basement. These materials can only be retrieved by Learning Commons staff. After locating a book you would like that has the location of "basement stacks - see staff to access" via the online catalog, write down the title and call no. of the item you’d like to check out and hand this slip to a Learning Commons staff member.
Most materials can be retrieved within an hour.
