The Roberts/Laforge Library is the library resource for the School of Nursing students and faculty. The Library is located on the southeastern edge of the campus and is within walking distance of the School of Nursing and dormitory facilities. Students are required to attend an orientation to the library during the first term of their enrollment. Library hours vary; students should contact the library for routine operating hours or visit the Delta State University webpage.
The primary function of the library is to serve the information needs of the students, faculty and staff through provision of an adequate collection of books, journals, electronic, and other information resources to support the academic program. Materials placed on reserve are available at the circulation desk. Patrons are responsible for all materials checked out in their name. All users leaving the institution must clear with the library prior to receiving final checks, academic records, or diplomas.
DSU computers, computing facilities, and network connections are for the purpose of providing academic and administrative support to the faculty, students, and staff of the University. All students are assigned an Okra E-Mail account upon registration. Students should activate this account as it will be used for University and School of Nursing announcements and information that are outside of the courses. Users are responsible for all results originating from their use of University computers. Misuse can result in the immediate termination of the right to use University computers. For additional information contact the OIT Department.
Cafeteria/Food services are available to students. Please refer to the website for hours of operation.
