   The Blough-Weis Library is a center for study and research and is open 104 hours per week during fall and spring semesters.  This  facility has online access to thousands of journal articles; over 330,000 books, DVDs and CDs, a student lounge and spaces for group and quiet study.  Wireless laptops can be borrowed for use in the library.  As an added service, lockers are available to rent for a small, returnable deposit.  Librarians and other staff members are available to assist students in their academic pursuits.
   
   Students are expected to use the resources responsibly and to properly check out materials they wish to borrow. To maximize availability of the collections, security measures are in place, which include door alarms on non-approved exits, and checking of backpacks and briefcases. Unauthorized removal or mutilation of library materials could result in prosecution and/or disciplinary proceedings. Fees are charged for all materials that are overdue and/or damaged by borrowers and for all lost items. At the end of each semester, library fees are sent to the university’s Business Office and applied to each student’s account. Smoking and pets are not permitted in the library.  Loud conversations in person or on cell phones are discouraged out of consideration for others.
