Jr. Statesmen, welcome to the Stanford University Libraries.
This page is designed to help you find some of the most important
library resources for your research. If you have questions, check
first with your counselor or teacher.
You will find photocopy machines throughout the building. On the
first floor of Green East, there is one near the Current Periodicals
and 3 across from the Loan Desk.
- No copiers take change or bills. You must buy a copy card. There
are no change machines in the library, nor can you get change
at a desk.
- You can buy a copy card at the machine across from the Loan
Desk for $1, but that only gives you a card (no copies). To put
value on it for copying, you need to put in more money. The copy
card machine takes bills up to $20.
- To copy from microfilm you must have a copy card.
- Copy cards can also be used to print from the public kiosks
Use Socrates, Stanford's
online catalog, to identify books on your topic. For books listed
as being in Green, check Green
Library Shelving Locations online or posted near the stairs/elevator
in Green (East).
To check out a book, take it to the Loan Desk in Green East and
fill out a slip. Counselors with borrowing privileges will check
the book out for you at the end of the day. Do not check out
government documents. Please leave them on the tables set up for
you in the West Basement so that all may use them.
Library kiosks or workstations have been set aside for your use
on the First Floor of Green East. Please do not use any other library
computers. The kiosks give you access to the catalog (Socrates),
the Internet, and many important resources; however, they do
not include word processing packages. There is a $.10/page charge
for printing. To print
from a library kiosk you must have a copy card..
See also the more comprehensive subject
list of databases on the Web. You can change the image to a
Title list by clicking on the Titles Only radio button.
Stanford owns many periodicals in various formats. The best way
to find these is to use Socrates,
Stanford's online catalog, and select Browse and Periodical
Title. Socrates will tell you the library and call number,
if any. It may also give you a link to an electronic copy when that
is available. Current (unbound) periodicals are shelved in the Information
Center (1st floor Green East) and are arranged alphabetically by
title. These may not be checked out. Please leave the boxes on
the shelves.
There are many government resources on the Internet. Some of the
most important are listed below. For others see the Stanford Guides.
