Access Services covers borrowing library materials, interlibrary loan from other libraries, course reserves, and poster printing.
How Do I Check Out Library Material?
Present your University I.D. at the Circulation Desk. Most print material circulates for an entire semester. Media items circulate for one week, with one renewal.
Faculty can check out a maximum of 50 items from our library. Our library doesn’t charge overdue fines but other CSCU libraries may charge for overdue materials.
You can renew your material by calling the Circulation Desk, emailing AccessServices@southernct.edu or online at SouthernSearch MyAccount, sign in, and click on the “My Account” tab.
ELECTRONIC SERVICES

Poster production is housed in Access Services and provides poster and large-format printing services. Requests can be submitted online at https://libguides.southernct.edu/PosterProduction/posters. Poster production is conducted with limited hours due to limited staffing.
Create the poster in MS Publisher, MS PowerPoint, or Adobe Photoshop. Files should be saved submitted as PDF to preserve formatting. Be sure the dimensions of the file match the requested dimensions of the poster. We do not format or design large-format printing. All printing will be made from the file you provide.
Payment for printing services must be made at the time of pickup via HootLoot, check, or Banner Department Account.
