Welcome to Ely Library and the ERC!!
You may still place holds in QuickSearch for books you wish to pick up, but once notified that they are waiting for you, you will need to pick them up in the library, on a table to the left as you enter. Please pick them up quickly and bring them back as soon as you are finished with them so that others can access the same materials. We look forward to seeing you!
Ask if you have any questions and come in to browse our new displays.

The Test Collection
This collection of standardized tests includes measures for development, intelligence, and reading, as well as culture-fair tests and other classroom measurement instruments.
NOTE: Tests do not normally circulate outside of the Library due to the cost of replacement and licensing restrictions. They are like Reserve Items except that you must sign out each test at the Reference Desk in order to use it.
