Materials for use by particular classes doing research assignments can be assembled on books carts for use in the library or in the classroom. Book carts should be requested 48 hours in advance of the project start date. A form is available in the library for requesting book carts. Please also have available a copy of your assignment sheet to help complete the cart.

Book carts that are used in the library can be signed out to teachers for up to four weeks. Book carts that are used in classrooms can be signed out to teachers for up to two weeks.

The library reserves the right to recall or limit book cart materials during busy research periods when more than one class is using the same materials.

Bibliographies can be created for classroom use or for use in the library.

Before using these pieces of equipment students are required to sign an equipment use contract. Please do not ask students in your class to operate these pieces of equipment unless they have first been trained and are on the library's list of eligible students.
