Academic Support Services

1. Library regulations have been recommended by the Senate Library Committee and are intended to provide equitable access to library materials for faculty and students.

   A faculty member's identification card is required to check out books which can be on an extended loan for one semester, subject to recall if requested by students or other faculty. Faculty members will be billed for the replacement cost of books lost while charged out to them.

   Current issues of periodicals do not circulate. Bound volumes of periodicals circulate and may be taken out by faculty for brief periods only.

   A limited number of faculty studies and carrels are available on a first come, first served basis. Assignments are made by the semester on application to the office of the Director of Libraries.

2. The Office of Academic Computing and Instructional Technology provides a variety of audiovisual equipment, materials, and professional services to support the instructional program of the University. The Office is continuing to broaden its services through consultation with faculty members on the selection, production, utilization, and evaluation of instructional materials such as slides, films, audio or video tapes, overhead transparencies, simulation and programmed instruction. Professional staff members are available for in-service seminars and consultation on course development and evaluation.

3. The University of Delaware Computing Center, located at 192 South Chapel Street, is the central computing facility on campus. The objective of the Center is to provide effective campus-wide computing services in response to varied requirements for educational, research, scientific, and administrative computing.

4. Individual contracts with authors are negotiated through Associated University Presses, which also bears all the costs of producing, publishing, and distributing books for the University of Delaware Press. Editorial decisions, however, are made by the Editorial Board of the University of Delaware Press. Authors should submit their manuscripts to the chairperson of the Editorial Board, 326 Hullihen Hall.
