Mission/Purpose
The primary mission of the Newton Resource Center is to serve as a reading room/study area for the undergraduates who live on the Newton Campus, providing a comfortable environment, reserve services, and computers for on-site work as well as access to the Libraries online resources and the Internet. As such, the collection and the small computing facility housed there are intended to complement rather than replace the resources of the O'Neill Library or the Student Learning & Support Center computing facility also located in the O'Neill Library building.

User Profile
Undergraduates, primarily first-year students, living on the Newton Campus, use the Center.

Facilities
The Center has seating available for 60 users and is equipped with PC's and Macintosh computers for word processing and Internet access. A photocopier, fax machine, and a selection of 18 current newspapers and journals are available for students to use.

Services
In addition to providing online access to the Libraries resources and current reading materials, the Center maintains a small print reference collection designed to support first year student's academic needs. Also provided is a "Reserve by Request" service whereby individual students can request that items already on Reserve at the O'Neill Library also be placed on Reserve at the Center. In addition, copies of materials on Reserve at the O'Neill Library are routinely faxed to the Center when requested by a student.

Resources
The Newton Resource Center houses the majority of the O'Neill Library's circulating books and periodicals in the A sections and the Z sections of the collection. Requests for the materials to be delivered to O'Neill Library may be made on-line or at any circulation desk.
