RLAI Library (Internal)

The RLAI Lab Library  is a collection of books which may be checked out by members of the RLAI group at the University of Alberta. The library primarily contains academic textbooks and collections, though it also contains technical references and manuals, in addition to some non-technical resources. The RLAI Lab Library is located in CSC 3-05.

Using the Library

Finding books

  1. To find a book, check the online library below.
  2. Look for it on the shelf.
  3. If it is not on the shelf, check the card file to determine who has it checked out.

Checking out books

To check out a book, remove its card and write your name and the current date on the card. Place the card in the brown card file, which is located on the same shelf as the books. You must check out any book that leaves the library area.

Returning books

To return a book, remove the appropriate card from the brown card file and write the return date upon it. Place the card back inside the book and return the book to the shelf.

Requesting books

To request a book, email the title of the book and a brief rationale for the inclusion of the book in the library to Lori Troop and cc your supervisor.  If the book is appropriate and necessary for the library, it will be ordered.
