CIRCULATION RULES

Alumni are welcome to use Library material in-house.

See our Services page for more information.

MOBILE DEVICES

Librarians are available to help with downloading Library-related apps to mobile devices. Two charging stations are available, one on each floor of the Library.

FOOD & DRINK

Food and drinks (with lids) are permitted in the Library. Please be considerate of others.

STUDY ROOMS

Library study rooms can be reserved for up to four hours at a time. Please do not occupy a room without signing up on the sheet on the door; the sheet will be the only consideration in determining whether a room has been reserved. It is suggested that study rooms be used for quiet study and for parties of two or more.

PRINT / COPY / SCAN / FAX

Two printer/copier/scanner/fax machines are located in the Library, one on each floor. These are available to students with valid ID cards.

The College loads $25 per academic year onto the ID cards of first-, second-, and third-year students, and $10 onto fourth-year students' cards. Black-and-white printing/copying costs are $0.08/page; color is $0.40/page.

For technical support with printers, contact the IS department at ext. 7500 or support@ico.edu.

WIRELESS ACCESS

Both the first and second floors of the Library are wireless throughout. The IS department can assist with the initial wireless setup of mobile devices; computers need the up-to-date operating systems and virus protection in order to be able to utilize the campus wireless network. Login is the same as desktop network logins.
