| Borrowing Policies for Off-Campus Students |
These provisions are offered because of the value placed on our students
who live
away from the campus. Copies of journal articles for classes
taken at Andrews may
be requested from James White Library (JWL) if
they are not conveniently available
online or in the local libraries.
JWL will lend its own books to those who have U.S.
addresses. Students
who are in off-campus programs are encouraged to investigate all
possible resources in their area of residence for their research needs. It is to
the students'
benefit that they register with the public library in
their area and negotiate for use and
check out privileges at the
nearest academic libraries for the sake of efficiency and speed.
