A primary objective of the Ora Byram Allison Memorial Library is to provide research resources for faculty members and doctoral students. Areas that are covered for doctoral students include material for seminar papers, seminar presentations, and dissertations. The Director of Library Services places priority on purchasing recommendations and specific requests from faculty members and doctoral students. The request form is available at the Circulation Desk.
The form is used to make requests for books, theses, dissertations, microforms, journals, DVDs, CDs, databases, and other material formats. The borrower is responsible to return materials promptly. A reasonable effort will be made to notify patrons when items are overdue. The primary patrons of the Library shall be members of the seminary family: students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Library Materials are on loan for two weeks and can be renewed for another two weeks unless they are on hold for another patron.
Renewals can be made in person, by phone and responding to the automated Notification from the library, or emailing to library mabts. A patron may ask an attendant at the Circulation Desk to place a book on hold when it is returned.
They will be notified when the book is available. Please be considerate of your fellow library patrons. Drinks with lids are permitted anywhere in the library. Food is now allowed in the designated lobby area only! The library observes a no talking policy in the following areas: reference room, journal area and the general stacks. Talking elsewhere in the Library should be kept at a minimum. Patrons causing excessive noise will be asked to leave the Library. While in the Library, if you are listening to videos online, please be considerate of your fellow students and library guests by wearing earbuds or headphones.
Videos are disruptive to others who are trying to read, study, research, or write papers. The Library of Congress LC classification system is used in organizing all materials.
A call number is assigned to all materials according to the subject of the material. The Library of Congress classification for philosophy, psychology, and religion is shown below, since most of our collection is classified in these sections.
Reference assistance is provided for library patrons in using the OPAC, locating materials, and searching for answers to questions.
During regular business hours, the Director of Library Services is available to assist any patron. During other hours, questions should be directed to the circulation desk attendant. The Ora Byram Allison Memorial Library is excited to bring its patrons another enhancement to their online experience.

However, when somebody does a search and clicks on the item that you reserved, they will be informed that the item is reserved and hence not available to them. Should someone take the item you reserved to be checked out, our system will tell us that that particular item is reserved for you and the item may not be checked out. When you reserve items, please be mindful of other students.
If you live on campus, please come by the library during the school day or when we are open to obtain your books rather than reserving them, because you have easy access to the library. However, if you live off-campus or if the library is closed, feel free to reserve items because you do not have easy access to the library. Please be aware that you will need to pull the items you reserved yourself. We will not pull them for you. If you no longer need a reserved item, please remove the item from your reserved list see step 7 on Steps for Reserving an Item.
Come in or contact us via email to apply. See a member of library staff for any questions. Please include title, author, and call numbers.

For circulating books, audios, DVDs, microfiche and microfilm, the list must include the title, author, year of publication, and call number for the items you need; the same applies for books needing to be copied.
