Per CDC and administrative guidance, face masks are currently not mandatory on the TIU campus. However, as President Perrin stated in his email to the university community, "...you are strongly encouraged to mask up if you have not yet been vaccinated. We also encourage you to continue wearing a mask if you are personally more comfortable doing so or out of courtesy for those expressing a reasonable concern for you doing so."
We thank our patrons for their continued understanding these past 14 months, and we encourage everyone who enters Rolfing to make wise decisions in love for their neighbors. We will continue to update this page if/when any changes arise.
See the library hours page for the latest hours. Check back frequently for updates, as the hours may change due to changing circumstances.
The hours page also has safety precautions for using the library during Covid, including masks and social distancing.
Overdue fines have been suspended for all books from Rolfing, I-Share and WorldShare, so you may wait to return them. The outside book drop at the library is open at all times for you to return your books.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at circ@tiu.edu.
Wherever you are, you have access to Rolfing's electronic resources.You can request resources from I-Share libraries in Illinois by using our new Automated Fulfillment Network (AFN). Simply choose "I-Share Libraries" in Rolfing Search to do your search, then click on the book. Under "Get It" click the link to "Request." Select the library where you want to pick it up - Trinity International University is at the very bottom of the list. The book will be delivered to Rolfing (or whatever I-Share library location you request) within a few days.
Please note that the Illinois Library Delivery Service (the company that delivers I-Share books to Rolfing) has imposed a 24-hour quarantine before a library may send out a book. Adding in processing time, we recommend that you place requests for I-Share books at least two weeks beforfe you need them. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Also note that not all I-Share libraries are currently open. If you request a book that is not available at any open libraries, you will get an email saying your request has been cancelled. You may then request the book through WorldShare instead.
See the Rolfing Search prezi tutorial for more help with requesting from I-Share and our library.
