C`YiXip j\im`Z\j The FGCU Library is a technologically advanced institution with materials, electronic resources, services and facilities designed to assist users in achieving their academic and scholarly goals. The facility is comprised of two connected buildings, designated as Library East and Library West. The Circulation Desk, Open Computing Lab, General Book Collection and Library Administrative offices are located in Library East. The Reference Desk and Reference Collection with an adjacent small Information Literacy Learning Lab are housed in Library West. Additional collections in Library West are: Media, Periodicals, Curriculum, Children’s Literature and current periodicals browsing collection. The library has media viewing rooms, group study rooms, individual study carrels and many seating and work areas to provide a comfortable environment for research and study. The threestory windowed Atrium at the main entrance to the library provides a pleasant space to visit with friends, study, or relax and enjoy beautiful campus views.

<X^c\ @; :Xi[j Your key to library services and resources is your FGCU Eagle photo ID card. It is your passport to borrowing services, remote access to research databases and other electronic resources. The ID card must be presented at the Circulation Desk in order to check out materials from the collection. The most economical means for copying and printing services is by adding money to your FGCU ID. Your ID card and number must be held secure, protected as you would a credit card in order to avoid fraudulent use by others. The registered cardholder is responsible for all materials, fines and costs incurred through the use of this card. The loss or theft of the card must be reported immediately, so that privileges may be blocked before any damage to the cardholder’s account occurs. TIP: Use your complete 14-digit ID number when accessing library electronic services and resources from a remote location.

K_\ :fcc\Zk`fe The library collection consists of more than 500,000 items, including books, journals, newspapers, microfilms, media materials, e-books and e-journals. There are more than 400 online research databases, providing access to indexes, abstracts and thousands of full-text articles

CfXe Need a book or journal article not owned by FGCU Library? FGCU faculty, staff and students may request that the library obtain materials for their use from another institution. Simply establish an FGCU ILLiad Interlibrary Loan account through the library website and submit your requests. Most articles are delivered to you electronically, while hard copy materials may be picked up at the Circulation Desk. You are notified via e-mail when your requested material has arrived, or when you have articles to be downloaded.

The website accesses the online catalog, as well as the catalogs of the State University System of Florida libraries, FGCU course reserve materials, electronic databases, document delivery services, interlibrary loan, research assistance and links to other useful sites. A library staff directory, several request forms and the latest information about hours, services and workshops are available on the website.

:fdglk\i CXYj An open computing lab is available in the library for all users 92 hours per week. It offers access to library research databases, e-journals, coursespecific software, MS Office, Gulfline and unfiltered Internet. The lab has over 135 computing work stations configured so that they may be used in conjunction with other campus-supported applications, e-mail and more.

I\]\i\eZ\ Xe[ I\j\XiZ_

8jj`jkXeZ\ Librarians and specially trained staff provide help with selecting and using research databases, formulating search strategies, searching the online catalog and more at the Reference Desk. The desk is open 65 hours per week when classes are in session. Personal research consultations with a librarian can be made through online forms at the library website. A small computing lab located behind the Reference Desk area is used to facilitate instruction and assistance to users by Reference Desk staff. There, students may receive personal assistance with searching the online catalog, or research database selection and other instruction services, without appointment. Chat reference service is also available through the FGCU participation in the statewide AskaLibrarian virtual reference service. Chat with a real librarian, in real time. See the library website for operating hours of the FGCU virtual reference desk.

:`iZlcXk`fe Xe[ :flij\ I\j\im\ Students, staff and faculty may borrow materials upon presenting their FGCU ID card at the Circulation Desk. Loan periods vary by borrower status and item collection location. Borrowing policies, including fines and loan periods, are posted at the Circulation Desk and also available from the library website. Course reserve materials, both print and electronic, are processed and made accessible by Circulation Desk staff. Hard copies may be requested and checked out at the desk. Articles are made available electronically whenever possible.

@ek\ic`YiXip

Distance Learners are provided equitable services as those provided for on-campus users. Electronic resources and services are available and accessible to all FGCU affiliates regardless of their location. The online FGCU ILLiad interlibrary loan system may be used by distance learners to request books or articles owned by FGCU or for materials from other institutions. Books from the collection are charged out to the borrower’s library account and mailed to distance learners when requested. Students are responsible for return postage, overdue fines and costs for lost or damaged library materials, as are all users. Articles are supplied electronically whenever possible. Regular copying costs are charged to the requestor. Reference assistance is available to distance learners via phone, Virtual Chat and e-mail. A telephone personal research consultation with a subject liaison librarian is available via appointment. Request forms are available from the library’s Web page or contact the Reference Desk at (239) 5907630; or send an e-mail message to libref@fgcu.edu.

The University Police and Safety Department is responsible for law enforcement, security, disaster planning and emergency response at FGCU. The offices for Police and Parking are located on the north end of the Campus Support Complex.

1. Keep your doors and windows locked. 2. Do not admit strangers. Do not admit maintenance or repair persons without verifying their identity. If you are suspicious, contact the police. 3. Lower shades or close drapes/curtains after dark. 4. Be wary of inviting casual acquaintances into your residence. In over half of all reported rapes, the women knew their attacker. 5. Leave lights on when you go out at night. Inexpensive timers can be purchased and used to convey a sense of occupancy. 6. Have your keys ready when moving from one place to the next.

8Yflk LG; The law enforcement officers of the department receive their enforcement authority via the provisions of Chapter 1012.97 F.S.S. All officers are certified by the State of Florida. Police officers at FGCU have full law enforcement authority including arrest powers on all property owned or controlled by FGCU. The university is patrolled 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Additionally, the office is manned 24 hours a day so that persons wishing to report a crime or speak with an officer may come to the offices at anytime.

?fn LG; ZXe _\cg pfl The University Police Department investigates all criminal activity on the University campus. Additionally if you are involved in a traffic accident, please notify the University Police immediately. UPD will also assist in opening locked vehicles, jump starting vehicles, and flat tires. If you are on campus during the night, an officer or designee may be requested to escort you to your vehicle, when available. The University Police and Safety Department monitors Communications and fire alarms 24 hours a day, seven days a week and also provides emergency communication services around the clock. Such emergency communication includes; direct dial (no dialing) telephones in each elevator, “Blue Phone” emergency telephones located throughout parking lots, and police emergency service from any campus telephone except pay phones by dialing 1900. Police Communication and Service Aides, in addition to answering your calls for assistance, provide services including; monitoring fire and security alarm systems, maintaining daily records of police activity, radio communications between officers, and assisting in the enforcement of University regulations.

:fekXZk`e^ LG; Calling for police from an on campus telephone: dial 1900 or 239-590-1900.

:Xcc`e^ LG; When calling for assistance, be it routine or emergency, be prepared to clearly identify yourself state where you are calling from and state briefly the nature of your call.

<[lZXk`feXc J\im`Z\j While University campuses are generally safe places, there are no guarantees that you won’t become the victim of a crime. Criminals select their victims based upon their desire, their ability, and the opportunity. To help reduce the possibility of crime on campus, the University Police Department offers seminars/ presentations on various crimerelated topics. These include: Alcohol Awareness, Drug Awareness, Cyber Crimes, Internet Fraud, Identity Theft, Residential Crime Prevention, Workplace Violence and Sexual Assault Awareness. The University Police also provides instruction in sexual assault self defense. Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) System classes are open to female students, faculty and staff periodically, throughout the year. We also offer, free of charge to students, faculty, and staff, a residential security survey. For more information on crime prevention services, please call 590-1900 and ask for Officer Engle.

GXib`e^ J\im`Z\j The University Police and Safety Department is responsible for the enforcement of parking regulations on campus. All faculty, staff, and students are required to have a parking permit/ decal during

daylight and evening hours. Parking Services will be present during Orientation and will be located in the Student Union the first week of school to assist with permit distribution. Student Parking Enforcement Aides issue parking citations for illegally parked vehicles and vehicles without parking permits/ decals. Office Hours for Parking Services are 8am-5pm, MondayFriday. For more info: http://www. fgcu.edu/parking/

I8; :cXjj\j The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. Our courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors and provide each student with a workbook/reference manual. This manual

outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth, and is the key to our free lifetime return and practice policy for R.A.D. graduates.

Cfjk Xe[ =fle[ The University Police and Safety Department operates a lost-and-found program. All items found throughout the University are delivered to the Department for safekeeping. Items are held by the Police Department for 90 days. You will be required to provide the Department with proof of ownership whenever you attempt to recover a lost item. You are encouraged to mark personal items with a readily identifiable number. In the event of loss or theft, the item will be much easier to return to the rightful owner.

Apartment complexes, townhouses, condominium communities, and other dwellings pose unique security problems because of the temporary nature of many residents of lease/rental property. Here are a few tips: 1. Have locks re-keyed when moving into a previously rented residence or after keys have been lost or stolen. 2. Deadbolt locks, if not already in place, should be installed on all exterior doors including the one from the garage into the residence. 3. Install locks or protective devices on windows, including second-floor windows. 4. Do not prop open resident hall doors. This is an open invitation to a criminal.

:`kXk`fej Xe[ =`e\j University Police regulates traffic and parking fines on campus 24/7. To see a complete list of parking and traffic citations see http://www.fgcu.edu/UPD/ citations-fines.html. To avoid tickets, make sure you follow university regulations.
