Help Desks

There are two service centers in the library which can assist you in successfully using the library. The first is the Information desk located on the main floor of the library. The other is the Circulation desk, also located on the main floor, directly across from the main stair case. These two service desks offer different types of assistance to patrons.

The Information desk is the main information center of the library where assistance is provided in conducting research on any topic. This could include searching for books, journal articles or other materials in the library's collection; database searching; Interlibrary Loans; or referrals to other libraries.

This desk is staffed weekdays 8 am - 4:30 p.m. by Reference librarians. Weekday evenings and weekends Evening/Weekend Supervisors offer basic reference assistance. These staff members are para-professional staff who have training in basic reference search skills. Patrons needing in-depth reference information should contact Kim Cullinan, Head of Public Services, Monday through Friday.

The Circulation desk is where you would go to set up your library account; checkout out books, audivisuals, reserve room materials, or other materials; obtain change for the copying machines, or pick up Rockhurst or MOBIUS books on hold for you. Questions regarding library policies such as library cards, checkout and return, fines, etc. should be directed to the Circulation Department .
