The public is permitted to use the Morton Library online catalog without any login. Just click on the "Guest" button on the login screen. Registered users of the Morton Library may choose to login in order to gain access to their own account information and other services. For detailed instructions on the catalog login, click HERE. Off-Campus Access to our Online Databases and Electronic Journals Students, faculty and staff at Union-PSCE or BTSR are entitled to remote access to our Library databases and other information that is restricted by site licenses. It is necessary for our campus Information Technology office to have a current network user ID and password on file for each person who wishes to use these resources remotely, from home or office. This is NOT the same user ID and password you use to login to our Morton Library catalog (see above). For Union-PSCE students, staff and faculty : your network login (the same one you use for our campus email system or Blackboard) should give you access to these resources. Do not use the UTSNT\ prefix; just use the personal name part of your network user ID (such as jane.doe or jdoe). For students, staff and faculty of BTSR : you may need to check with our Librarian for Academic Computing Support to make sure your current ID and password are entered into our proxy server. Please contact Leland Deeds for further information :
Some information on the use of classrooms, group study rooms and meeting rooms in the Library building may be found in our online Manual. If you wish to reserve a room for a meeting, lecture or other event, please contact Fran Eagan for further information :
If you would like to request that the Library purchase a specific work for our collection, we invite you to fill out an Acquisitions Request form. You can obtain one of these forms at the Circulation Desk or the Reference Desk. The Library maintains a dedicated computer workstation for the use of patrons who are blind, vision-impaired or have certain learning or reading disabilities. The computer is loaded with the Kurzweil 1000 program to scan and convert printed matter to audible speech, and the ZoomText program to magnify text (including online web-based content), for the use of persons with low vision or blindness. For those with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, dysgraphia or ESOL, the computer offers the Kurzweil 3000 program,which highlights text and provides visual and audio tracking. These highly-capable programs can be customized and modified by the user to address many different individual needs. The workstation is located in a private room that is kept locked when not in use. For access to this facility, please inquire at the Circulation Desk. The Duke University Library has created a very helpful website explaining the mechanics of preparing term papers and other written projects. It shows you how to cite sources within your paper (in footnotes or in parenthetical citations) and how to assemble a list of all sources cited (in a bibliography). It provides examples from five different style manuals : APA, Chicago, MLA, Turabian and CSE. It covers citations for books and periodical articles in print or electronic formats. For citing sources within your paper, click HERE. For preparing a bibliography, click HERE. You will also find links to other useful information about research and writing techniques and standards on those pages. The Citation Linker feature of our new online catalog is not yet operational. We hope to have it ready to introduce soon. The Lou and Randall Lolley Baptist Studies Center was opened on 30 May 2003. It is located on the third floor of the Library, in Room 302. W.

He was moderator of the North Carolina chapter of the CBF (1997-98) and is a trustee at Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, N.C. In 1994, Lolley co-authored a Smyth & Helwys book, Servant Songs: Reflections on the History and Mission of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, 1950-1988. Lolley serves as honorary editor of the periodical Review & Expositor. The Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond dedicated the Center in honor of the Lolleys, to provide resources for the study of Baptist history and heritage.
