The DEREE Libraries offer the following services:
All currently enrolled students, faculty, administration, staff and alumni are welcome to use the John S. Bailey and Downtown Campus Libraries. The following regulations govern the borrowing privileges extended to them.
DEREE Library patrons may request periodical articles from any American College of Greece (ACG) Library, the National Documentation Center (EKT), the British Library and ScienceDirect, through intra-library loan (ILL).
Books, articles, notes and audiovisual material may be placed on reserve by DEREE faculty for their courses as well as by academic departments and administrative offices. Items placed on reserve are located behind the Circulation Desk and have restricted circulation periods.
Faculty members who wish to place items on reserve should consult the course reserves policy.
Students can look up course reserves by course number or instructor name in the Library Catalog and request them at the Circulation Desk by their call number.
Three self-service photocopiers are available at the John S. Bailey Library.
Students will need to purchase a photocopy card at the Circulation Desk. Each card costs €5.00 and is valid for 100 copies. You will be asked to present a valid DEREE ID card.
Faculty and staff should request a photocopy card at the Circulation Desk.
Patrons at the Downtown Campus Library will need to use external facilities.
Computer use, printing, and Wi-Fi
We provide 34 computer stations with access to the Library Catalog, the Research Databases and the Internet. On selected computers patrons may also use Microsoft Office and SPSS.
Computer use is on a first-come, first-served basis. However, the libraries’ computers are provided to support teaching and research. Priority is given to academic uses, such as researching, writing and printing course-related material. Recreational uses, such as non-academic browsing, e-mailing, playing online games and participation in social networks are considered secondary activities. The library reserves the right to ask you to give up your computer if needed for academic use by another patron.
Printing is presently free of charge. Nevertheless, in an effort to conserve printing resources and energy patrons are encouraged to download needed material in external storage devices or email it to themselves instead of printing it.
A wireless network is available in all DEREE Libraries providing internet access to patrons with wireless-capable devices.
Off-campus access is available for many of the libraries resources. Some of these are freely available off-campus, while others require authentication.
The DEREE Libraries provide general library instruction as well as subject-specific workshops upon request. The content of the library sessions is determined by the requestors’ needs and ranges from simple library tours to hands-on workshops concentrating on the use of specific Research Databases.
To arrange a session contact either the John S. Bailey Library Reference Desk (ext. 1267) or the Downtown Campus Library Circulation Desk (ext. 2012), depending on the preferred location for instruction.
