ABSTRACT

The library, typically located at the center of a college or university campus, reflects the concept that all branches of knowledge gravitate around a central source of information. Most important, the modem academic library is an information center where the student can go to find answers to specific questions. The charge for photocopies will vary from one library to another because fees are set by the lending library. Most libraries provide some kind of instruction in the use of the library. Some books and journals are placed "on reserve in a special area of the library because they are in high demand by students. Materials on reserve can be used only for a limited amount of time and often may only be used in the library. Location inside the library makes these study areas convenient to reference and reserve materials.
