Checkout
Back issues may be checked out at the Reserve Counter for a limited time period.  (You MUST have a valid FHSU ID Tiger Card.)

Copies
Two photocopiers are located south of the Reference desk if you want to make copies. 
There are several ways to make copies:

• ask staff at the Circulation Counter or the Reference desk to put in a password for you.  This allows you to make copies on both sides (back to back) and only pay $.05.
• use your Tiger Tracks account - $.05 PER page regardless if you do back to back
• use the coin-op.  Again, it will be $.05 PER page regardless if you do back to back

Please ask for assistance.
