Hello everyone and welcome to Brock University! I am here to help you with any questions you may have about the library or library research. I hope to meet most of you on July5th (we are meeting for a tour and brief info session at 1pm), but in the meantime I will answer some of the questions you may have already.
What will people from Windsor and Lakehead need to sign out books?
Everybody will receive a Brock ID card--and that is all you need to sign out books! You can also use your own institution's card--you will just need to fill out some paperwork at the Circulation Desk in the Library.
Will people from the other Universities be able to get books through inter-library loan while they are at Brock?
Yes! Simply use your Brock ID # when requesting any items through interlibrary loan.
What will the library hours be during July?
Generally, the Library is open from 8am to 8pm during the week, but please consult the Library website for hours.
What do we do if we need to print or photocopy?
If you would like to print and/or photocopy in the Library, you will need to purchase a photocopy card. These cards are available for $1, and up to $15.00 worth of copying at 10 cents per copy may be purchased for the card.
Can we use the computers in the library?
Yes. Workstations are available on the main floor of the Library/Learning Commons, as well as on the upper floors. All workstations are equipped with productivity software (Microsoft Office, etc.) and internet access. To log in to the computers you will need your Brock username and password. If you are not sure what your Brock username is or it doesn't work, you can also use a valid Canadian driver's license to obtain a temporary login (good for 24hrs). Computer labs are also available across campus.
Can I use my laptop in the Library/on campus?
You can access wireless internet from anywhere on campus by logging on to the network with your Brock username and password. ITS offers help on logging onto the wireless network. Don't have a laptop? You can borrow one from the Circulation Desk (main floor of Library).
