Holy Spirit Research Center FAQsQ: How may I use materials in the HSRC? A: All materials in the HSRC may be used in the Center. Because many items are difficult, if not impossible, to replace, none of them are loaned for use outside the Center. See the Center's schedule. Q: What materials does the HSRC contain, and how may I search among them? A: The HSRC collection includes books, booklets, periodicals, audio tapes (reel-to-reel and cassette), video-cassettes, and the Holy Spirit Vertical File (HSVF) with hundreds of files of miscellaneous information. All holdings (except for the those in the HSVF) are cataloged within the library catalog, and you may search them using OPAC. To find out if the HSVF contains information useful to your research, call, write or e-mail, and describe your research subject as specifically as you can. Provide information for us to contact you. Allow one week for us to search and respond to your request, longer during ORU breaks and summer. Q: Will someone research for me at the HSRC? A: The HSRC exists to serve researchers (with no fee, beyond actual costs--photocopies, postage, etc), not to research for them. Contact the Center if you wish to hire a local free-lance researcher to research in the Center for you. Last Updated: August 7, 2006 |
