Ball State University Alumni may check out General Collection books and government publications at the Main Circulation/Reserves Counter on the first floor of Bracken Library and General Collection books and videos in the Architecture Library and Science-Health Science Library. Selected items, including sound recordings and videos, are available for an abbreviated circulation period in the Music Collection and the Educational Resources Collections.
