What's that shushing sound?

No that is not us. Those shushing librarian days are gone for good. What you hear is the gentle "whooshing" sounds of our noise filtering system. Called "Speech Privacy System", it is a form of  sound masking that reduces or eliminates awareness of pre-existing sounds in our library. It makes for a more comfortable study environment, while creating speech privacy so others can concentrate on their work.

Interlibrary Loan

If we don’t have the item you need, we can request it for you from another library that owns it.

Our Interlibrary Loan service allows you to obtain books, articles, and other materials that are not available in Seminole State Library. If you are a student, you may request up to five items per day. There is no limit to the number of items you may request if you are a faculty or staff member. Allow two weeks or more for your requested material to arrive.

Good luck on your finals

Study Rooms

Study Rooms in the library are now at a premium, with many groups and individual wanting to use them on most days. There are only a few rules:

1. First come, first served basis. No reservation needed
2. Study rooms are for TWO OR MORE PEOPLE. Sorry for the "loud" caps but if you are there by yourself you will be asked to leave if a group wants it.
3. The large Quiet Study Room at the back of the 2nd floor lab is perfect for many individuals to quietly study at once.
