Tips

Here are some tips to make life easier when using the Library.
  • BRING YOUR CAMPUS ID CARD with you. Also, at the beginning of each term bring some proof of registration (ie. fee receipt or assessment) as it sometimes takes a while for information to get to us from the Registrar's Office.
  • Bring a pen with you.
  • Some library locations allow food and drink and others do not. Please look for signs indicating whether or not you can bring in food and drink.
  • Buy your copycard at the Copy Centre or Place Riel Information Kiosk.
  • Get change from the Commissionaire at the Main entrance.
  • Borrowing Library Material - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Did you know that you can renew books up to two times without having to bring them in? You can do this yourself at the computers in the Library, or off-campus on the Internet. The only items that cannot be renewed are reserve items, recalled items, and journals. You can also place holds, check to see if the items you placed holds on are back, and check any outstanding fines. Just go to http://sundog.usask.ca/patroninfo.
