Library Services

Student ID cards

Student ID cards are used as Student Library cards to provide access for current students to library services.

Reference Services

A librarian, or staff member, is on duty to assist you during hours of operation. You can get help in locating needed information in the Library or outside sources. We also provide instruction in the use of the reference tools, audio-visual materials, and equipment.

Instructor Reserve Materials

Reserves are books and materials placed on short-term loan periods at an instructor's request so that all students in the class may have an opportunity to read or review the material. These materials are available on request at the Checkout Counter. You must know your instructor's name and the class title to ask for these materials. Loan periods vary from one-hour library use only, up to one week.

Technology

The library has computers available for word processing, Internet access, and CD-ROM. The library has a wireless network throughout the library facility.

Confidentiality of Library Records

FTS Library formally recognizes that all records identifying the names, I.D. number of library patrons, and the library materials that they use are confidential in nature. Such records are not to be revealed to anyone other than the patron in question without either the express written permission of the patron in question or the adherence to proper legal or Seminary procedures regarding required access to such information.
