student resources - Meredith College

Laptops for Loan
The college has a small pool of laptops that students,
faculty, and staff may borrow for up to 24 hours.
These circulating laptops have the same software
loaded on all student machines and are connected to
the campus wireless network. Laptops are loaned
through the Media Services department in the library.
Students may reserve laptops up to three weeks in
advance, if they wish. Users must provide their own
CDs or flash drives for saving data, as these laptops
will not allow users to save on the hard drive. For
more information about the laptop lending program,
contact Media Services (760-8444).
Prompt return of this equipment is expected.
Borrowers will be charged $1.00 per hour for equipment
returned late. Taking receipt of the equipment
and accessories constitutes acceptance of full legal
and financial responsibility for damage to or loss of
those items while they are in the possession of the
Borrower or in the possession of the borrower’s
designee. (Normal wear does not constitute “damage.”)

Library Hours During the Academic Term
The library collection is designed to support the
research requirements of Meredith students. It
includes over 190,000 volumes, over 7,000 videos
and over 7,700 musical scores. Faculty college-wide
assist the library in developing this collection. The
library also has a large set of information materials in
electronic form, including full-text copies of articles
from thousands of academic periodicals and newspapers.
These are found in over 100 different databases
with direct access to articles in over 8,000 periodicals.
The electronic resources are available from anywhere
on campus, and, using a password, from off
campus as well. The library’s homepage can be found
atwww.meredith.edu/library. The library also maintains
the College’s Archives, material related to the history
and people of the College.
The library is a center for intellectual exchange. We
provide individual and group study areas, including
three small group study rooms and a projection
room available to larger groups in the main library.
Individual video viewing stations and music listening
stations are also available in both libraries.
The LINC Center Computer Lab is located on the
ground floor of the main library. Computer workstations,
printers and other computing equipment are
available in the LINC Center whenever the main
library is open.
Reference Services, 760-8532
The library’s Reference librarians assist the Meredith
community in their research. Reference Librarians
are on duty at the reference desk most of the time
the main library is open. They are glad to consult
with individual students about research projects.
