Borrowing (777-6671)

Your Corporation's or Foundation's ID is normally also used for your Library Card. You must update your Library Card periodically at the Circulation Desk. The Circulation Desk is also where you get your library PIN number, which you'll need for some services like "My Account" in the library catalogue.

Eastern Health staff at this site have the same library privileges (including holds) as for Memorial University staff, with the exception of off-campus access.

Generally, books and cd-roms are 2 week loan, periodicals older than 4 years are 3-day loan, and audio-visuals are 1 week. Items, except periodicals, can be renewed, provided that there is NO HOLD OR RECALL on it. You can renew items yourself by selecting My Account in the library catalogue.

Computers

There are a number of workstations within the library that provide access to all of our electronic journals, other resources and the Internet. The MEDITECH system of the Health Care Corporation is NOT available from within the Library. For more information, see About the Library.

Document Delivery (777-6628)

Materials not available at the Health Sciences Library may be obtained by using the Document Delivery service. Most copy requests (e.g. photocopies of articles or chapters out of books) can be filled within 4 working days; most book loans within 14 days. The library normally absorbs the cost.

To order an item, login to the Document Delivery Form.

Electronic Journals / Off Campus Access (777-6628)

Most of our electronic journals and other restricted access resources are available from within the Library. Our e-journals are generally NOT available from off campus unless you are also a member of the University. However you can connect to key health databases, free access e-journals, and electronic textbooks through our NLHKIN service.

ICL - Intercampus Loans (777-6671)

Through Intercampus Loans books, you can request books or photocopies from other MUN libraries. To order articles complete the Document Delivery Form. Books can be ordered directly through the library catalogue using the Request feature.

Information (777-6672)

The Information Desk staff can help you with specific or general research questions. Contact us in person, by telephone, fax, email or the Ask a Librarian form. We also provide a Computerized Literature Search Service.

Instruction (777-6672)

Professional librarians provide instruction and training in the use of library databases and research tools. Instruction is available for individuals or groups, and can be tailored to specific subjects, needs or times. For more information, see Information Literacy Instruction.

Photocopying and Printing (777-6671)

Photocopiers are located across from the Circulation Desk. The main printers for the public computers, scanner, and microform reader are located in the photocopy room. Departmental copy/print cards are kept at the Circulation Desk for use of staff for work and research-related purposes. The copy and print costs ($0.05 per impression) are charged back to your institution. You must have your library card with you to use the Departmental cards, and they should not be removed from the Library.

For personal use, a MUN Campus Card can be purchased for $2.00, and money added to it, from the "Card Manager" unit located near the Information Desk. The unit can issue receipts. The cost for a print/photocopy is $0.05 per impression. To obtain small print jobs without using a MUN Campus Card, cash payment is possible by arrangement at the Circulation Desk and at a cost of $0.10 per impression. Colour printing is $0.20 per impression and also by arrangement at the Circulation Desk.

Reserves

Health Sciences Centre course instructors or representatives may place books, articles, audio-visual, or other materials needed for particular courses on "Reserve" (limited loan). This would only apply to non-distance courses being given at this site, not to courses being given at other HCCSJ sites. Forms for placing materials on Reserve are available at the Circulation Desk. Requests (one request per form) should be submitted to Circulation at least two weeks before the material will be needed by the class.

Suggestion for Purchase

Any Library user may recommend the purchase of specific books, journal subscriptions or other media materials. Request for New Book/Multi-Media and Request for New Journal Purchase forms are available near the Information Desk.
