Miami’s King Library (over two million
volumes) houses the humanities and social science
collections and is fully networked, with up
to date electronic catalog features and fast
regional interlibrary loan support. An outstanding
feature of King library is the E.W. and Faith
King Collection of Juvenile Literature with
over 11,000 volumes of children’s literature
dating from 1536 to the present. This includes
the schoolbook collection of about 5,500 volumes
printed before 1901, featuring books used in
educating American children and includes the
most complete known collection of McGuffey Readers.
Miami's campus computer network provides Internet
connection to residence halls and major academic
buildings; King library has dozens of Windows
and Macintosh computers for use in the library.
If you bring your own computer, you will need
an Ethernet card and RJ45 connector cable. In
addition, many services from the four Oxford
campus libraries are available over the Internet.
The libraries' World Wide Web system offers
a vast array of research and popular resources.

Campus computers are connected to the Internet
through Miami's centrally managed, multi-user
computing systems. This provides access to the
Web and E-mail. Network access is available
from all of Miami's residence halls, computer
labs, and libraries. |
