Media Center
The Media Center is located on the first floor of the McMurry Library. The Coordinator of Media Services will work with faculty and students on media projects.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
While the library is usually considered adequate for most undergraduate needs, it is impossible for even the largest library to contain all the material needed for more sophisticated programs. To this end, the library staff, through the interlibrary loan system, is able to borrow from almost any library in the country if adequate time is allowed. If the material you need is not owned by the Jay-Rollins Library, discuss your needs with the ILL Librarian. Often there is no charge for the loan of materials. You assume only the cost of photoduplication, special mailing, or other charges imposed by the lending library.
Newspapers
The Jay-Rollins Library subscribes to the Abilene Reporter News, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the Sunday editions of the New York Times and Washington Post. These are located in the Periodicals &Reading Area located behind the Circulation Desk. Additional newspapers are available on line through the InfoTrac and LexisNexis databases.
