Macdonald Librarylibrary.stfx.ca/info/distance_education.phplibrary.stfx.caDuring Spring and Summer Sessions the Angus L. Macdonald Library will maintain its core hours during Monday to Friday8:30 am – 4:30 pm. In the interests of better serving our students extended hours for this period will be announcedcloser to each session. Delay in announcing the extended hours allows us to better focus our open time on the needs ofour Distance & Continuing students.Students enrolled in courses delivered by Continuing & Distance Education sometimes find doing research for anassignment daunting. Extended Library Services is a support system to help you over that hurdle so you can learn to findthe library and information resources you need to complete your course work.Where do I begin?Normally your local library (whether a university, college, hospital or public library) should be your first resource forlocating research material.Most local libraries will lend books, allow you to photocopy materials. Some libraries will facilitate borrowing materialsfrom other libraries through interlibrary loan. A charge may apply to some or all of these services.StFX will provide registered students with a library card and an ASIN card (for students outside NS). Your StFX librarycard can be used to borrow books from StFX or any library in the Novanet system. Most Canadian academic librariesnow allow in person borrowing upon presentation of a CAUL (ASIN) card. Cards are available to StFX students who are ingood standing with Novanet by contacting Pam MacLean (pmaclean@stfx.ca) at the Angus L.Macdonald Library. Pam MacLean can also provide a letter of introduction to local librarians.Some students will find difficulty in obtaining appropriate materials through local libraries either because they live adistance from such a library or because the resources available are limited. Extended Library Services is designed tomeet the various needs of such students.43
