An alternative source for textbooks

In this tough economy, renting textbooks might just save you some money versus buying them, especially if you do not plan to keep the book once the semester is over.

Check out the site http://www.chegg.com/ and see if renting a textbook is a better deal for you.

Attention Faculty-Books for Fall

Are you teaching a class this fall? If you need the library to order materials (books, DVDs, electronic sources), please let your library liaison or Kirstin Steele know. A simple email or catalog page with author/title/edition/ISBN, or even a "share with a friend" message via an Amazon.com page, is fine. If you also tell us whether you need the item placed on reserve (e.g., for ENGL 101), put on "hold" for you personally, or just shelved with regular library materials, that information will help us order the item more quickly.

The Citadel joins the Lowcountry Digital Library



Check out the news release on the Lowcountry Digital Library.

The Citadel Archives and Museum and the Daniel Library are adding new items to the digital library every week. Currently our collection consists of commencement speeches by notable South Carolinians, including one from Johnson Hagood, class of 1847. The content is searchable, too.

Library copier machines

The Procurement department plans changes regarding the copy machines available inside the Daniel Library. Please watch for announcements from Procurement or Jalorie Robinson, and please take notice of the signage around the copier before you make copies.

If you are unsure about how to operate either copier, please ask for assistance at the reference desk or the circulation desk.
