Houston Cole Library Floor Directory: Lobby/Main Floor

Description and information about the Floors at the Houston Cole Library

Welcome to the Lobby!

This is the main floor of the Library. It houses the Library's Circulation, Interlibrary Loan, Reference, and Reserves services. It is also home to Starbucks and several Student Success Center offices. This guide will familiarize you with the locations of Library resources and services. The guide will not eliminate the need to consult your librarians for help in locating and using specific materials, but we hope it will make you more comfortable with doing research in the Library.

Services Available In the Lobby

All of these Library services are available to you at the big, white desk at the entrance on the parking lot side of the Library and across from Jazzman's.

  • Circulation is where you go to check materials in and out.
  • Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is where you go to request materials that we do not have from another library. It is provided to JSU students, faculty, and staff. To request materials, simply complete our ILL Request Form.
  • Reference is where you go for help finding the information you need and/or using our resources.
  • Reserves is where you got to find the materials and resources your professor has identified to use for your class.
