The library offers books, ebooks, articles, games, movies, and more! To see what is available, start by searching the library catalog. You can also do a quick search on the library's home page or limit by format. Mikkelsen Library uses WorldCat as our catalog, so not only will you see what is available at our library but you'll also see what's available at libraries around the world. If there is an item you would like that we don't have, you can submit a request to get it through our Interlibrary Loan service.
Mikkelsen Library offers 12 study rooms available to students and staff. Ten rooms are located on the upper level and two rooms are located on the lower level. Each room includes a 55" LCD TV with the capability of connecting to laptops. All study rooms except 304 have a whiteboard. The two lower level rooms have a Blu-ray DVD player in the room.
Please reserve your room in advance. Reservations may be made online for the current day and the next day. Individuals are limited to a maximum of 3 hours per day. Check in at the front desk of the library to get the room key. Please note, if you are more than 15 minutes late your reservation will automatically cancel.
If you would like an item that is not available at Mikkelsen Library, you can submit a request to get that item through Interlibrary Loan. The Interlibrary Loan Service, available to students and staff, allows us to borrow items from libraries around the world. If you find an item in the library catalog or in one of our databases that is not available, there is often a link to request the item through interlibrary loan right there in the catalog or database. You can also submit a request and find more information on the Interlibrary Loan webpage.
Students and staff are able to log in to their account and renew items. There is a link to Your Library Account on the library home page under the search box. Enter your school user name and password to view your account.
