The Library Handbook<\/a> made available for students is of vital importance to your education here at Remnant University (RU)! Take time to read it from beginning to end. You’ll find that it will save you time as you\u00a0 use\u00a0 RU’s\u00a0 Library.\u00a0 Moreover,\u00a0 it\u00a0 will\u00a0 make\u00a0 you\u00a0 a\u00a0 better\u00a0 student\u00a0 and\u00a0 will\u00a0 also\u00a0 aid\u00a0 you\u00a0 in\u00a0 becoming\u00a0 more\u00a0 diligent in your study of God’s Word (2Tim. 2:15).\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

The mission of RU\u2019s Library is to provide you with quality service. As we do this, we are guided by these\u00a0 principles. First, the Library exists to provide you with a witness to the past by making available to you the\u00a0 wisdom of the ages in both print and electronic formats. Second, we also seek to provide you with a window\u00a0 on\u00a0 a\u00a0 world\u00a0 of\u00a0 ideas\u00a0 by\u00a0 providing\u00a0 access\u00a0 to\u00a0 divergent\u00a0 voices\u00a0 that\u00a0 will\u00a0 challenge\u00a0 you\u00a0 as\u00a0 you\u00a0 prepare\u00a0 for\u00a0 ministry in Christ\u2019s Kingdom. Third, we are also a place of scholarship where you can study in comfort and\u00a0 receive\u00a0 the\u00a0 training\u00a0 and\u00a0 support\u00a0 you\u00a0 need\u00a0 to\u00a0 become\u00a0 a\u00a0 better\u00a0 scholar.\u00a0 Fourth,\u00a0 through\u00a0 our\u00a0 educational\u00a0 programs we want to be an active partner in your theological education.\u00a0<\/p>\n

RU Library is cataloged according to the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system<\/b> which most high\u00a0 schools use that you may be very familiar with it. However, we also have a long-term plan to convert this\u00a0 system into the Library of Congress classification system, because that is the one used by most colleges\u00a0 and it is better suited to a library such as ours in which most books are in one category. Most of our books,\u00a0 of course, are theological. As our library\u2019s volumes grow, we will convert the system in a few years, but we\u00a0 use DDC at present time.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Please know that the Library staff is here to help you. They will be happy to answer your questions, help\u00a0 you find material pertinent to your needs, and be willing to aid in other ways that may fit your needs. We\u00a0 ask that you help them, also, by being respectful of them, by returning borrowed books by the due date, and\u00a0 by caring for the books and Library equipment.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

As you study, as you read, and as you learn to “rightly divide the Word of truth,” may you be greatly blessed\u00a0 and may those who hear you preach and teach His Word be led to a deeper understanding of the will of God.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

There  are  two  methods  of  cataloging  books  in  use  among  libraries —  the  Dewey  Decimal  Classification  (DDC)  system,  and  the  Library  of  Congress  (LC)  system. At  Remnant  University,  we  currently  use  the  former type of classification system.   <\/p>\n

1. Explanation of DDC Symbols   <\/b><\/p>\n

The numbers on the spine of the books have the following kinds of numbers:    <\/p>\n

For example; 
DDC classification number 220.7 P526 w The Wycliffe Bible Commentary   

  • 220 means \u201cBible\u201d and 7 means \u201cCommentary.\u201d  <\/li>
  • Author’s number P526 -> the first initial letter of the author\u2019s last name and 526 designates \u201cPfeiffer\u201d  according to Cutter-Sanborn author indication system. <\/li>
  • w designates the first letter of the book\u2019s title without definite\/indefinite article.      <\/li>
  • Volume number (if the book is one of a set) is marked as V. 1.   <\/li>
  • Copy number (if there is more than one) is marked as C.1.  <\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n

    All the bookshelves in the library are located according to DDC numbers. You can simply find out its  location by categorized number label on the side of each bookshelf. <\/p>\n


    <\/p>\n

    2. Library Catalog <\/b><\/p>\n

    COMPUTER DATABASE (CDB) 
    All our books (except a few journals and magazines) are entered into a computer database system. CDB is  very user friendly. Simply use the mouse to point and click on the desired search fields such as author, title,  publisher, ISBN or year of the books and then simply type what the user wants to search.     <\/span><\/p>\n

    EXCEL CATALOG (EC) 
    The excel catalog lists all books, magazines, and periodicals. It is the simple \u2018Microsoft Excel\u2019 type file to  search the titles, authors, book numbers, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n

    All books in the CDB are now listed in EC so you may be able to find your book on the any of computers  in the library. It is the most effective way to find what you need in the library.    Please request a copy of  this file by sending an email to rtunivlibrary@gmail.com   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      1. Check- Out Procedures\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

      A. How to check out a book:\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/b>We have an automated checkout of materials so be sure to bring your student ID for swifter service.\u00a0 If the system is down for some reason, we can resort to the card system.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      No student is ever permitted to get into the drawers of the Front Desk or remove items from the desk.\u00a0 If no attendant is on duty, please, wait for the worker to return to the desk.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      No Check out book is ever to be carried out of the library unless it has been scanned. Any deviation\u00a0<\/p>\n

      from this regulation may result in severe fines or in curtailment of Library privileges.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      We\u00a0 do\u00a0 not\u00a0 require\u00a0 that briefcases\/backpacks\u00a0 be\u00a0 checked\u00a0 at\u00a0 the\u00a0 Front\u00a0 Desk,\u00a0 as\u00a0 some\u00a0 colleges\u00a0 have\u00a0 found it necessary to do. Please help us to keep from instituting such a rule. Just do not put books\u00a0 into\u00a0 your\u00a0 briefcases\/backpacks\u00a0 to\u00a0 take\u00a0 them\u00a0 home\u00a0 for\u00a0 study\u00a0 purposes\u00a0 without\u00a0 first\u00a0 having\u00a0 them\u00a0 properly checked out for our records. Thus, you will help us to keep you from being accused of theft!\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      WORD OF CAUTION: Never ever check out material in your name for someone else unless you\u00a0 are willing to be held liable. If material is lost, you will be held responsible. If borrowed by you and\u00a0 loaned to another person you are still responsible. It is not the librarian\u2019s duty to track the chain of\u00a0 borrowers from you to someone else. Return the items to the library for the other person to borrow.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      B. Non circulating materials \u2013 These are not allowed to check-out.\u00a0
      <\/b>1) Reference Books\u00a0 \u00a0 2) Periodicals\u00a0 \u00a0 3) Newspapers\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      C. Circulating materials\u00a0
      <\/b>1) Books and Journals\u00a0 a) Faculty Members: Up to 10 book \u2013 4 weeks\u00a0 b) Students: Up to 5 books \u2013 1 week\u00a0
      <\/span>2) Video tapes, Cassette Tapes, & DVDs\u00a0 a) Faculty Members: Up to 5 materials \u2013 2 weeks\u00a0 b) Students: Up to 2 materials \u2013 1 week\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      D. Late Fees\u00a0
      <\/b>There are penalties on late returns.\u00a0 \u00a0
      1)\u00a0 Non-reserved materials: $0.25 \/ day \/ material\u00a0
      2)\u00a0 Reserved materials: $2.00 \/ day \/ material\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      2. Returning Procedures\u00a0
      <\/b>Please return the borrowed materials to the Librarian and\/or main office before due date. If the librarian\u00a0 or RU officials do not know about your materials return, a late fee will be charged.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      3 Renewal\u00a0
      <\/b>In order to renew previously borrowed materials, you must make a renewal request either in person or\u00a0 over the phone before the due date. Only one-time renewal will be allowed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      4. Lost or Damaged Materials\u00a0
      <\/b>If the patrons have lost or destroyed any library materials, he\/she must report to the librarian and the\u00a0 student will have to pay for 150% of the original price of the book to the library. Otherwise, a late fee\u00a0 will be charged until the book is replaced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Every effort should be made to find any Library material that has been misplaced, because many of them\u00a0 may be difficult or impossible to replace.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Only books and materials in reasonable condition are circulated. When books and materials are loaned,\u00a0 the\u00a0 Librarian\u00a0 notes\u00a0 the\u00a0 condition.\u00a0 Books,\u00a0 for\u00a0 example,\u00a0 are\u00a0 not\u00a0 circulated\u00a0 if\u00a0 spines\u00a0 are\u00a0 broken,\u00a0 hinges\u00a0 torn, etc. The plastic containers for audio or videotapes are not melted or broken, when checked out.\u00a0 Equipment is in satisfactory working condition when loaned, etc.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Borrowers are held responsible for the condition of the books checked out in their name. It is not wise\u00a0 to give the book to another student, with the book checked out in your name. If the other person loses it,\u00a0 you are the one who will be held accountable!\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Keep the materials away from little children, dogs, or gerbils. Do not leave books, and especially video\u00a0 or audiotapes, in the hot sun (say on the seat or roof of your car), or where they might get wet.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      If the book is lost and later found and returned, and is in satisfactory condition, a partial refund will be\u00a0 made (charged amounts minus late fee).\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Patrons who chronically lose books will not be permitted to check out any new books or other Library\u00a0 materials.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      While we expect loving care and respect for our Library’s materials — there is a special care the patron\u00a0 must\u00a0 exercise\u00a0 if\u00a0 the\u00a0 materials\u00a0 are\u00a0 borrowed\u00a0 by\u00a0 us\u00a0 from\u00a0 other\u00a0 libraries.\u00a0 We\u00a0 do\u00a0 not\u00a0 wish\u00a0 to\u00a0 lose\u00a0 the\u00a0 privilege of borrowing from others because our patrons lose what they have borrowed. So, do not leave\u00a0 the borrowed materials on a shelf in the hall, or in someone else’s car, etc. Take special care of it, and\u00a0 return it in good condition, please!\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Persons who mark, underline, or highlight in borrowed books will be asked to either replace the item or\u00a0 pay a $30 fine for each marked book depending on the damage done.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

      5. Returning Unwanted Books to the Shelf\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/b>It is preferred that unwanted items be brought to the Front Desk or left on a table. We will be able to\u00a0 scan the item as used and return it to the proper place. A book that is shelved in the wrong place is lost\u00a0 to the next searcher, so please, DON\u2019T RESHELF.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      6. Books not found in the Stacks\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/b>If a book listed in the Catalog is not found in its place on the shelf, the student should make inquiry of\u00a0 the person on duty at the desk.\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/span>The records may show that the book is already checked out to another student, or it is on reserve. If not\u00a0 checked out, the book may be in use on one of the tables, or out of place for some other reason.\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/span>The Librarian on duty will make a special search for it, and it will be available to you as quickly as it is\u00a0 located.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      7. Handling books and other Library materials\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/b>BE CAREFUL! HANDLE TENDERLY! Some of our books are very old and will not hold together if\u00a0 treated harshly.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      NEVER BREAK THE BACK OF A BOOK, or otherwise mutilate it — else you will be expected to pay\u00a0 the cost of replacing the book. (If the book will not lay open easily, take a moment to properly “open”\u00a0 it!) ASK HOW AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU!!!!!\u00a0 \u00a0
      DO NOT WRITE IN OR UNDERLINE OR DOG EAR LIBRARY BOOKS!\u00a0\u00a0
      <\/span>DO NOT CUT OUT PAGES OR ARTICLES FROM PERIODICALS OR BOOKS!\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/span>NEVER USE TAPE OR GLUE ON LOOSE PAGES. RETURN TO THE LIBRARIAN ON DUTY FOR\u00a0 REPAIR.\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/span>You may be charged for damaged items.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      8. Holding material\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/b>When a student wants material that is already checked out, a \u201chold\u201d should be requested at the Front\u00a0 Desk. A notice will be sent, and the book shelved behind the Front Desk. In this way, it will be available\u00a0 for others to use in the library, and still be available for the one requesting it. Items \u201con hold\u201d should be\u00a0 picked up within 48 hours of the notice that the material is available.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      9. Requesting resources by email\u00a0 \u00a0
      <\/b>Student\u00a0 may\u00a0 request\u00a0 assistance\u00a0 with\u00a0 library\u00a0 resources\u00a0 such\u00a0 as\u00a0 scanned\u00a0 copies\u00a0 [within\u00a0 copyright\u00a0 law\u00a0 allowance]\u00a0 or\u00a0 mailing\u00a0 of\u00a0 physical\u00a0 copies\u00a0 of\u00a0 books.\u00a0 \u00a0 Library\u00a0 staff will\u00a0 also\u00a0 assist\u00a0 in\u00a0 securing\u00a0 digital\u00a0 copies\u00a0 of\u00a0 journal\u00a0 articles\u00a0 via\u00a0 interlibrary\u00a0 load.\u00a0 \u00a0 Please\u00a0 email\u00a0 the\u00a0 library\u00a0 staff with\u00a0 your\u00a0 request,\u00a0 rtunivlibrary@gmail.com\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
