| Role of Librarians |

Libraries manage, store and disseminate many information resources for campus communities in support of the university's curriculum. Rod Library's information resources are a combination of print and electronic formats. Rod Library will send print books and copies of articles (subject to U.S. copyright law) to UNI distance learners who request materials. UNI distance learners can request books and articles through the Distance Education web pages. In recent years, the library has acquired more full text information through licensed databases, ejournals and ebooks. Additional library services to distance students include reserve and interlibrary loan services. Negotiators of Licenses for Campus Databases and
