Research at the Blegen Library - Tips

AMBROSIA is the union catalog of the ASCSA and BSA Libraries.

The Book Locator application allows you to search for a specific call number and locate it in the stacks, including floor plans and stack-number highlighting.

Use the RFID self-check kiosk to check out books.

Reminder: These materials cannot be checked out to carrels or tables:

• New books / new periodicals from the Reference Area
• Oversized books
• Books from the Reserve Shelf in the Main Reading Room

If a book is checked out, use the “Books on Loan” application to locate it.

Open Books on Loan

1. Choose Call Number or Title.
2. Enter the data and click Search.
3. Get the location, such as the carrel or table number.

Reminder: The Loan Report is not live, but is updated several times during the day.

Please fill out the Check-out card provided on every library floor.

Books: Place them vertically in the reshelving carts for staff to reshelve.

Periodicals: Check them in through the self-check kiosks and then reshelve them.

If you only need to check references, quickly consult, or scan books, please return the books to the shelf instead of leaving them on the cart.

The Blegen staff may not be able to reshelve books immediately, especially during weekends and holidays.

This applies only to ASCSA members.

If you wish to keep some or all of your books for more than a month, remember to renew them through the kiosk. You only need your library card.
