NSU's library system is comprised of the Einstein Library, Health Professions Division Library, Law Library, East Campus Library, North Miami Beach Fischler Center for the Advancement of Education Media Union, Oceanographic Library, and four school libraries on the Davie campus. The catalogs of all NSU libraries are accessible for remote searching, as are catalogs of other university libraries to online students via the Electronic Library. Online and CD-ROM databases complement the paper-based holdings and provide full-text resources. To assist distance education students with library requirements, arrangements have been made with many university libraries across the nation to provide library services to NSU students. SSSS's admissions office provides information to new students about libraries in their geographical area that are included in this arrangement and the procedures to follow.

Interlibrary loan arrangements through networked organizations such as the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), the Southeastern Florida Information Network (SEFLIN), the Consortium of Southeastern Law Libraries (COSELL), and the National Library of Medicine provides broad access to a wide range of materials. The library also has lending arrangements with large research libraries in the Midwest (Michigan State University and Wayne State University), that provide priority document delivery services to students. The Einstein Library is a cooperating library of the Foundation Center in New York, giving students access to collections for grants and foundation research.

Online students have access to books, journal articles, microfiche, dissertations, index searches, catalog searches, and reference librarians. Distance students may request library materials using fax, mail, or online forms. To contact Distance Library Services (DLS) by telephone, call 1-800-541-6682, ext. 4602 or (954) 262-2602. Use the toll-free fax to order library materials: 1-888-347-3627 and in Broward County, fax 262-3947. Students can send email to DLS: library@nova.edu, or can reach DLS via the web: www.nova.edu/library. All materials mailed by the DLS office are sent by first-class mail. When books are borrowed, the student has to pay a small charge for third-class postage to return the books. Books are loaned for one month. Periodical copies or ERIC documents need not be returned.

Information on textbooks for online courses is posted on SSSS's web site. The program office insures that textbooks selected by faculty are generally available from major booksellers. Students must find their own sources to purchase textbooks. Possible sources include online booksellers and national bookstores.
