What's New in Manderino!

NEW LIBRARY DATABASES!
The library recently added these new resources for Theatre research:

Digital Theatre+
Get exclusive in-depth interviews and backstage insights, productions with all-star casts, essays, documentaries, lectures, opera, musical theatre, dance/ballet, symphonic and chamber music, and study guides covering theatre history, context, language analysis, and practical techniques.

Please review Terms of Use
New Play Exchange
The New Play Exchange is the world’s largest full-text digital library of scripts by living writers. Hint: use the filters on the right to limit by length of the play, genre, and character or playwright characteristics (e.g., gender, race, or sexual identity).

INTERLIBRARY LOAN and E-ZBORROW are BACK!!
Interlibrary Loan and E-ZBorrow are now available to provide you BOOKS from other libraries! Rather than coming into the library to get your book, we will give you instructions on how to receive it through our Curbside Pick-up Service.

1. All patrons must check in immediately upon entering the library. Library staff will conduct temperature checks using contactless thermometers. Patrons who are fever-free (temperature below 100.4 degrees) will be instructed to sign in using Starfish. This will allow Cal U to support contact tracing if a positive case of COVID-19 is reported.
2. All library patrons must follow Health Department guidelines: You must wear a mask or face covering at all times and keep at least 6 feet way from others. (Students who are unable to wear a mask for medical reasons should contact the Office for Students with Disabilities at OSDmail@calu.edu.)
3. Patron access will be limited to the library’s first floor, where computer workstations are at least 6 feet apart. Patrons are not permitted to gather in groups.
4. Sanitation stations with disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer will be prominently displayed on the first floor. Patrons should wipe down the tabletop, keyboard and computer mouse before use.
5. Patrons may bring their own filled water bottled, but no other food or drink is permitted in the library. Restrooms will be open and cleaned regularly. Water fountains will be turned off.
6. All library patrons (Cal U students, faculty and staff) must use Starfish to sign out before they depart. Again, this is essential to support contact tracing.
7. Books and other loanable items will continue to be available through our Curbside Pick-up Service. Patrons will not have direct access to materials on the first floor.
