Books go out to you for the semester, on your DOANE ID CARD. If you send a student, send your card. You may keep books longer by renewing, which is a process of responding to our end-of-semester mailing. We will recall books from you after TWO WEEKS if needed by someone else, as we will from a student. Journals do not circulate. Exceptions may be made by the duty librarian for use in class.
Ordering
Jayne Germer jayne.germer@doane.edu - 402-826-8567
YOU know your field. YOU are the person on campus who knows best what you will use in class. Please do some ordering of materials appropriate to a small college library. Do it early in the fiscal year. We'll send CHOICE reviews on cards and "Best Books of 200x" to your attention. Forms are the ubiquitous 3x5 card. Available from the library. Order from reviews or from the Choice cards.

You, and one of the librarians. You are encouraged to look at the materials in your discipline and make recommendations for removal of any information which is out of date.
Bibliographic Instruction
Donna Jurena donna.jurena@doane.edu - 402-826- 8568
It would be great if we could have two days notice. Please plan to be on hand to relate what the librarian says to what you are doing in the classroom. It is even better if we could be included in your initial course planning in order to offer our wares.
Journals
Judy Bespalec judy.bespalec@doane.edu - 402- 826- 8571
The library subscribes to approximately 500 journals selected to support the curriculum with the assistance of faculty. We also participate in a consortium of nine colleges, which promise 15-minute to 24-hour turn-around on fax copies of journals they hold. Available are alphabetical and subject lists of Doane's journal collections.
Circulation Desk 402.826.8287
Copiers
We have two copiers that run at 5 cents per copy. (Use the Service Bureau for large jobs.) They can be fed coins or a security card may be purchased. Some divisions or disciplines have purchased cards, which are kept either at the library or in your department. Both machines make transparencies, which are available at the circulation desk for 35 cents. We ask you to observe copyright regulations, especially with regard to what you put on Reserve, and ask also, for that reason, that you do not require us to make your copies.
