Library
The Landman Library offers print and non-print resources as well as online services through its in-house collection and our memberships in consortia of over 3,000 academic and public libraries across the United States.
If you cannot find the material you need in the Landman Library, please ask a librarian for help. The off-campus phone number for the Reference Desk is 215-572-2138. On campus, use ext. 2138.
Hours
Because our hours are adjusted based on the time of the semester, we recommend you call 215-572- 2975 for an updated recorded message. Hours are also posted in the Library lobby. In addition, hours and other useful information can be obtained at www.arcadia.edu/library.
Circulation Procedures
Books are checked out for a four-week period during most of the academic year. Records, test kits, and cassette tapes may also be borrowed. You must present your valid Arcadia University ID card when borrowing materials.
Periodicals, microform, reference books and certain reserve materials must be used in the Library. The library online catalog is accessible on the campus network. Other library policies can be reviewed by visiting the Library’s home page.
Overdue Library Materials
Any Library material that is overdue will be subject to fines. A schedule of fines is available at the circulation desk. When the Library is closed, books may be returned in the book depository to the left of the front doors.
Note: If, by the end of any given semester, you have not returned borrowed materials or have not paid overdue fines, your grades or transcripts may be withheld by the Registrar’s Office.
Reserve Materials
Reserve materials are available at the circulation desk and can be identified through the online catalog.
Electronic Resources
Consult the Reference Librarian or the Library’s home page for a list and description.
Interlibrary Loan
Materials that are not held in the Landman Library collection can be obtained through Interlibrary Loan. This process allows us to obtain books and periodical articles from other libraries. Forms and information are available at the reference desk. Items are usually received in five days at which time you will be notified to pick up the materials.
Library Staff
The library staff is here to assist you. Please feel free to consult with them or arrange special appointments for help with research problems. The Reference Librarian is available at 215-572-2138.
