We have several types of books available to students in Steelman Library. The majority of our collection is circulating (available for check out by patrons) and is primarily located upstairs. To search this collection, you can use the Book Search or Article Search bar at the top of the library homepage. You can place holds on these books through the catalog (Book Search) and check the status of your holds and loans in your library account.
Most books are 14-day loan items, while some textbooks are 7-day loan items. 14-day loan items are eligible for you to renew in your library account if they are not on hold or overdue. 7-day loan items cannot be renewed.
Other items available for check-out from the Circulation Desk include:
We have some books which do not circulate, those collections include our Reference section downstairs and the Microfiche collection upstairs. You can search these resources in Book Search and use them for your research within the library, but they cannot be lent to patrons or removed from the library.
There are several areas in the library designed to serve students as individual or group study areas. There are study rooms upstairs available for 2-hour check out that can be used individually or for a small group, the conference room can be checked out by a group if it is not under reservation, and there are individual study rooms on the first floor which are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Upload documents from your device to the queue.
You can access the queue on any Steelman printer by swiping your Student ID. Your available printing funds will be displayed.
Then select your document and pick ‘print.’
Formatting:
To print 11”x17” from your device, your document must be formatted 11”x17” when you upload it to Pharos. If you need to resize it while printing, you must print from one of the Steelman computers and change the paper size in the print dialogue box.
Adjusting double-sided/single-sided printing must be done from a Steelman computer.
Common printing issues:
I’m trying to upload my document, but the website won’t load!
Double-check that you are on the Southeastern wifi network, as the website is not accessible on SEUguest.
The printer took my money and didn’t print my job!
If your print job is large, it may take a while to send to the printer or to print out.
Let the library staff know if it is taking longer than normal! We’ll be able to fix the printer and get you your print job!
The screen went red and didn’t print my job!
Let the library staff know so they can fix the error, and your job will print when the error is resolved.
The printer is telling me I don’t have any printing funds!
Let the library staff know: we can check which department will be able to resolve the issue for you or get you your print job! Unfortunately, you cannot use FireFunds to print, but you can reload your print funds if you use them up. Check your balance here!
The printer isn’t reading my ID card!
Let the library staff know! We’ll check if the issue can be easily resolved or if you need to see Campus Life about card issues.
