In the Spotlight

Rob Haley, Interlibrary Loan Specialist, has one of the busiest jobs at the Library. Working just behind the back wall of the Information Hub, he and his team of student assistants handle every interlibrary loan and article request, locating hard-to-find materials and getting them into your hands as quickly as possible. Last year, Rob's department processed over 6400 requests for Haverford students and faculty. In the most hectic weeks of the semester, he receives more than 100 requests per day. In addition to serving local users, his team locates, packs, and sends out thousands more books and articles from our collection for researchers working in other libraries.

The next time you need a break, consider visiting Magill Library's fountain area, where current newspapers, magazines, a selection of leisure reading, and featured items from the local DVD and comic book collections have been arranged for your browsing pleasure. You can check out the DVDs, magazines, or books and take them home, or you can simply grab a seat in one of the nearby armchairs or downstairs in the video viewing room and peruse them on the spot.
