Student Services
Human Services faculty place class materials (e.g., books, articles, notes, videos, testing and assessment instruments) on reserve for their students to access. Based on faculty instructions, these materials may be photocopied or checked out, either for in-room use or outside use. In addition, the Room maintains a small library of books, journals, and videos related to Human Services specialty areas.
Human Services students are welcome to use the general study area in the Room to work on their assignments. With access to the Internet through the Room's own Student Computer Lab, students are able to access MySFA, register for classes, access on-line course material, or conduct research for their classes. The Room also offers easy access to a self-service, coin-operated copier.
