Feel free to move the chairs and tables in the Library around as you see fit. Food and drink are allowed in the Library in all areas! Please clean up after yourself and be respectful of others.
The Library is not a quiet place. We encourage students, faculty and staff to use the Library as a place for community, meeting, learning and sharing information. You may find that the noise level is higher than you would like if you are studying. There are two quiet study rooms in the Library. One is a general purpose room, and may occasionally be occupied by a group. The other is designated for quiet study only, and is furnished with study carrels for your use. You can also learn more about how to use the library by油.
You can find all resources on the Librarys website, and remote help is available by emailing [email protected].
To check out materials, you must have a valid CCSNH Student ID and a Library account. Library books are checked out for 3 weeks, and games for 3 weeks. Journals and reference books do not circulate and will be available at all times for use in the Library. Items on reserve for a specific course may be checked out for use within the Library.油

At 91心頭利, students are expected to produce original work and use proper methods of citation when completing assignments in all academic areas.油Plagiarism油means claiming work that is not yours for your own, or failing to properly cite your research or your own previous work.
Instructors will ask you to use other peoples research, but to form your own opinions, conclusions, or thesis. This can be confusing! Just keep in mind that there is no shame in admitting you pulled a quote or an idea from somebody else. Think of it as the foundation of your paper. Your job is to pull information from different sources, and put it all together.
