The CSI Library is funded by student fees and is primarily for the use of CSI students, faculty and staff. CSI students must present their CSI ID card with the current semester's sticker to check out materials from the library. All students taking at least one class for credit are entitled to a CSI ID card. These cards and current stickers may be obtained at Eagle Central in the Taylor Building.
Students must complete a CSI Library application form before checking out items. Forms must be completed at least once each semester and at any time when the student's address or contact information changes.
CSI staff, faculty, and administration may use their CSI Employee ID card as their library card to checkout materials from the library.
