Reference Desk & Reference Area
(Second Floor)

Visit the Reference Desk to ask questions
and find out what materials the Library owns. Questions may be asked in person,
by phone (215-503-8150), by email (Askalibrarian@jefferson.edu), by instant message (AIM or Yahoo! screenname: SMLreference; MSN screename: askalibrarian@jefferson.edu), or chat live with a librarian.
The reference staff are happy to help you with Internet and database
searching, JEFFLINE access (http://jeffline.jefferson.edu),
bibliographic management software questions, campus information, verification of citations and more.
JEFFLINE's online Reference section
includes:
The Ready Reference Collection
The ready reference print collection is adjacent to the reference
desk. It is supplemented by subject
guides to Internet resources (JEFFSelects) compiled by
Reference staff.
The reference area also offers kiosks for Campus Key and
ThomCat services, computers for Internet access and MS Office,
printed help for popular resources, a display of newly acquired
books for preview, print indexes for journals and study carrels.
There is no charge for dot matrix printing. The reference
laser printer uses the same copy card as the photocopiers.
Cards may be purchased at the Circulation Window for $1. Laser
prints cost 10 cents per page [not available to general public
visitors]. Please note, copy cards are non-refundable.
Reference librarians will also help to identify materials
not owned by Scott Library. Jefferson participates in extensive
interlibrary lending (ILL) programs with other institutions,
in addition to purchasing documents from commercial vendors.
TJU students receive 10 FREE document delivery requests
per academic year. Other Jeffersonians are charged $5.00
per item requested for normal delivery. Learn
more about document delivery services.
