Access Services

The Circulation Department (Access Services) is located on the 2nd floor of the Health Sciences Building. The Circulation Department is staffed during all operating hours and is responsible for circulating materials, fine/fee reconciliation, reserve items, item requests and holds, anatomical models, and AV’s and charts.

Laupus Library is happy to receive in-kind gift donations. Before any material can be accepted, we ask that the Gift Contract Form be filled-out completely and accompany any donation.

• We ask that donors read the policy on the contract form and sign it to indicate that they have read it.
• We do not accept wet, mildewed, insect infested, or otherwise contaminated materials.
• All in-kind gifts are processed by the History Department.

Not sure if that video you found is what you are looking for? No longer have a working VHS player at home? Preview or watch entire videos with our system. A private cubicle station and headphones are available for your use in our Audiovisual room. Technical assistance is available by request.

The general lost and found is located behind the Service Desk (2nd floor). If you have misplaced a personal item in the Library, please stop by the Service Desk or contact someone in Access Services.

There is also a lost and found located in the Library computer lab.

If you are looking for an item (book, journal, audiovisual) with a checked-in status and cannot locate it on the shelf, the item is considered missing.

You can notify us that the item is missing in one of two ways:

1. Online: Fill out the Item Request form and checking the appropriate box
2. In-Person: Fill out a Lost/Missing Item form at the Service Desk.

I need help with my research project, who can help me?
Reference Librarians are available at the Circulation desk from 9am - 5pm Monday - Friday and 11am - 5pm on Saturday. Please refer to the Librarians page to verify your department’s liaison librarian.

How do I reserve a study room?
Study rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Find out where the study rooms are located by viewing the Meeting Areas available throughout the Library.

I don’t have an ECU Parking Permit, where can I park?
Metered parking is available in the ‘B’ lot adjacent to the lake. All other parking lots and spaces require a current ECU Parking Permit. For more information, please contact Parking and Transportation. 

I live on main campus; can I return my books to Joyner?
Books returned to Joyner Library will experience a delay in reaching Laupus Library which may result in an accruement of fines for overdue materials.

If I am not an ECU faculty, staff, or student, what do I need in order to use the Library?
Laupus Library is open to the public and anyone (area residents, hospital employees, etc.) is eligible to use materials (with the exception of computers) in-house. For more information, please refer to our Borrowing Policies.

For information about circulation privileges, please refer to our Borrowing Policies.
