You will be notified by email when the interlibrary loan book is ready for pick-up. If you are a distance/online learner, the library can also arrange for the ILL book to be sent directly to you. Please note that it may take up to several days for the ILL book to arrive.

SAU students and instructors may access the library course reserves. The library course reserves consist of textbooks and other course readings that instructors have placed on reserve for students to use.

• The full range of books that are on reserve can be found on the course reserves page. In the search box at the top of the page, type in the course number or the instructor’s name. Once you click on the course, the textbooks that are on reserve for that course will show up under “Reserved Materials.”
• Students may also email libraryhelpdesk@st-aug.edu to find out if a specific book is on reserve. Please include the course number and the title of the book in the email. This information can be found on the class syllabus.

Students who need passwords to remotely access databases should contact Ms. Tanya Williams: twilliams@st-aug.edu.

The live chat box is a 24/7 service. SAU library staff will be available on the live chat during normal library operating hours. During non-working hours, Chatstaff librarians will be available to assist students from the chat box located on the library webpage. If the ChatStaff librarian needs more clarification about an inquiry, an email of the chat with the student will be generated and forwarded to SAU library staff.

The third floor of the library is available for quiet study during all library operating hours. However, if you would like to reserve a specific space, please email a member of the library staff to check space availability. A calendar invite will be sent to your email to confirm the space reservation.
