Services for Visitors
RRLC Access Card HoldersGeneral PoliciesNazareth College is a private institution that allows the public in-library use of most collections and services. If you wish to borrow materials, you will need to get a RRLC Access Card from your home library. Access cards are issued to selected graduate students, faculty, and staff of participating institutions - you must go through your own institution's library to receive an Access card. The Access card program is coordinated by the Rochester Regional Library Council (RRLC); for more information on the Access program, follow this link to the RRLC Access Card Program. Bring your Access card and a current photo ID to the Circulation Desk (near the entrance to the library) and we'll sign you up to borrow books. Please note that Access cards are valid for a maximum of one year, from July 1 to June 30. (The library reserves the right to exclude admission and/or to revoke privileges of any individual whose behavior impacts the quality of service to the college's primary library clientele: the presently enrolled students and current faculty and staff of Nazareth College.) Book Circulation Borrowing Books are never due on a day the library is closed. If the borrowing period ends on a day that the library will be closed, books will be due on the next day the library is open. Renewals Books may be renewed in person, online, or by phone (call 389-2129). Please have your RRLC Access card with your library barcode ready when you are renewing books. In compliance with state and federal privacy laws, we cannot discuss information in your library record without proper ID. By phone, the only identification we can accept is your library barcode. Overdues Overdue books may be recalled by other library users. If you have a recalled overdue book, you will not be able to renew or check any other materials until the recalled book is returned. Holds If a book is not on the shelf when you look for it (and if it is listed in WebPAC as "check shelves"), the library staff will look for the book. As soon as the book is found, you will be notified. Reference Services The Reference staff will assist you with your informational needs;
Reference Desk hours are listed at the "hours" link at
the top of each of the library's web pages. You may freely use our
print reference materials, however, except in extraordinary circumstances,
the library's public workstations are reserved for current
students, faculty and staff of Nazareth College. While we do not allow you to access the library's licensed web-based electronic services, many of the more popular services offer subsets, or even full versions, of their databases to the public on alternate sites that you may access from your home computer. For example, a version of Index Medicus called Pub Med is freely available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi and full versions of the ERIC database are freely available at http://www.eric.ed.gov/ and, under the name AskERIC, at http://www.askeric.org/. Additionally, you may access a wide variety of databases with a valid ID card from a library in the Monroe County Library System at http://www.rochester.lib.ny.us:2080/magref.html.
