      Reserves

      Archer Library has traditional course reserves (books, DVDs, or music CDs) available for faculty use. These items are located at the library circulation desk, main floor. Instructors placing items on reserve determine length of the reserve period, hours or days, and whether the item may leave the library.

      Questions about reserves?
      Please contact Judi Humphrey, Head of Circulation & Reserves, at x5400.

      Numismatic Center

      The field of Numismatics has an important place within a university curriculum, as the historical study of coins and currency continues to shed new light on cultures of the past and serves as a guide for the socioeconomic policies of the future. The Leo and Laura Thomas Numismatic Center plays an active role in expanding this field of knowledge.

      The Leo and Laura Thomas Numismatic Center, located on the sixth floor of Ashland University's Archer Library, is under the management of Robert C. (‘Bud’) Ingmand, who serves as volunteer director. Visit the Center to view and study its many fascinating displays!

      At this time the Numismatic Center does not have regular hours, but we would love to give you a tour. Please contact Bud Ingmand at budin@zoominternet.net or 419-281-2230 to set up an appointment.
