Lorette Wilmot Library and Media Center
Nazareth College has a long history of providing excellent library services for its students and faculty. Library staff welcome the opportunity to assist and instruct students to effectively use the variety of information systems and resources the library provides. The library is open 105 hours per week for research and study during regular terms.
The library print collection includes more than 225,000 volumes along with 1,550 journal and magazine subscriptions. Additionally, over 10,000 journals and magazines are available electronically in full text through the library’s web site, along with bibliographic databases and selected reference works for each discipline and program.
The Media Center on the lower floor of the building provides a growing collection of CDs, DVDs, videocassettes, computer software, and other media materials. The Center also includes a video editing lab, group study rooms and multi-media classrooms.
An online catalog enables students to identify materials of interest in the local collections. An online interlibrary loan system facilitates requesting articles and books from other libraries. In addition, graduate students may borrow materials directly from many Rochester area libraries through the ACCESS program. Further information regarding the library and its services may be obtained through the library’s website: www.naz.edu/dept/library/.
Computer and Network Access
Nazareth College is prepared to meet the instructional and administrative needs of the college community for a broad range of information technology applications by way of open access computer labs throughout the campus (including a lab open 24 hours) with a variety of software on both Macs and PCs, and full internet/e-mail access. Regularly scheduled introductory classes on the use of these facilities are available through the Information Technology Services department in Smyth Hall.
Computer labs focused around specific disciplines - graduate education, management, art graphics, physical therapy, and others - provide facilities and support for students in these disciplines. Many labs, and some additional classrooms, are equipped with workstations and specialized projectors for computer-based instructional needs. The campus is completely wired for full, high-speed network and internet access. Students coming to campus with their own computers, including commuting students with portables, should be able to get necessary connection information from Information Technology Services and connect those computers at designated locations.
