Access to Library Resources and Services are available for patrons with a current library card from a SWON (Southwestern Ohio & Neighboring) institution (formerly GCLC). First time borrowers must register in-person at the circulation desk in the library. If you do not have a SWON Library Card please select the patron type, Community Visitors. For information about obtaining a SWON Library Card ask the staff at the circulation desk in the library. Please review the library's Notice of Responsible Use.

Resources and services that require your SWON Library Card display the ID card required icon.

Circulation Services are available for materials in the XPLORE Library Catalog. See borrowing privileges for information about loan periods, renewals, loan limits, overdue fines and replacement charges. XPLORE materials are picked up and returned to the circulation desk in Xavier's library.

Education Services include library orientations, tours and research consultations. To make arrangements contact Vicki Young at 513 745-4804 or youngv@xavier.edu.

Electronic Collections, such as research databases, electronic full-text journals, and electronic books, may be accessed only in the library. The library 's online catalog, XPLORE, may be accessed in the library and from off-campus locations. See also Circulation Services.

Supplies

Help A to Z provides online help for many library resources and services.

Internet Access There is only one computer workstation available for SWON visitors. Printing and scanning services are not available for SWON visitors.

• The single computer workstation is located on the first floor, near the Information Resources Center, and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
• SWON visitors using the computer workstation must yield access to any member of Xavier University with academic priority, including faculty, staff and students, if asked by a University staff member to do so. There may be certain times during the year when the computer workstation is unavailable to SWON visitors.

Print & Audiovisual Collections may be browsed in the library or accessed online through the XPLORE Library Catalog. See also Circulation Services.

Reference Assistance is available in-person and by telephone (513 745-4808) during reference desk hours. Email reference assistance is available 24/7.

Xtreme Subject Guides group library resources by subject which help you to find articles in research databases, books, journals, media, websites, a librarian liaison and context-specific help in a specific academic discipline.

xu.tutor, the library's online tutorials, will help you define a research topic, optimize search strategies, identify useful sources, evaluate websites, prevent plagiarism, and find library materials.
