Services
The Arts Resource Center (ARC) offers research help and access to information through its collections, Kent Library, other libraries, and various databases. We provide a comfortable study area and access to technology. Additionally, the ARC serves as a drop-off location for Kent Library items, materials requested from other libraries, and even your textbooks at the end of the semester.
Research Help
The staff at the River Campus ARC are always ready to assist you in locating materials. Whether you're searching for a specific book, a score for your class, or need credible sources for your research paper, they are there to help. You can either drop in for immediate assistance or schedule an appointment for a more in-depth research consultation.
Course Reserves
The faculty and staff at the River Campus can place materials on course reserve in the ARC for their classes. These items can include required readings or supplemental materials that students use for their coursework. The materials placed on reserve are available for checkout but come with a limited lending period to ensure students are still able to access them.
Textbooks
You may return your textbooks (only those rented from textbook rental) during finals’ week of the Fall and Spring Semesters.
Study Space
The ARC offers comfortable seating areas for both individual and group studying. Wi-Fi is also available for your convenience.
