Beliefs Scripture We believe "all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work" (II Timothy 3:16-17). God We believe "in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). We believe that Jesus is "the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16). We believe that Jesus Christ created "all things, . . . both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him" (Colossians 1:16). We believe that before becoming a man, Jesus existed "in the form of God" and that, in that form, He could claim "equality with God" (Philippians 2:6). We believe the Gospel: "that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" (I Corinthians 15:3-4). We believe "there is one God and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (I Timothy 2:5). We believe that, in Jesus Christ, God "was revealed in the flesh, was vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, [and] taken up in glory" (I Timothy 3:16). Salvation We believe that "by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8). We believe that in Christ Jesus "we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:14). We believe that "all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death. Therefore I have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so I too might walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:3-4). We believe that "he who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned" (Mark 16:16). We believe that, when people ask the question, "What shall I do to be saved?", it is right to answer as Peter did on the Day of Pentecost, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38). We believe that "if we died with [Christ], we will also live with Him; If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us; If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself" (II Timothy 2:11-13). We believe all people should recognize Jesus Christ as "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28).

Library Handbook Library Home Handbook Card Catalog Database Online Resources E-Books (LAST UPDATED 7/28/13) The Mission The mission of the W. H. Griffin Memorial Resource Center is to support the study of the Scriptures and uphold the mission of the college by providing a comprehensive facility for the storage, retrieval, analysis, and distribution of information. The Resource Center provides more than 15,000 items (print and non-print), with access to additional volumes in the nearby Memphis Public Library and The University of Memphis, and other college libraries. The library provides materials for study, personal and spiritual growth and for enjoyment. The Purpose This handbook denotes the policies whereby the library facilities may be used and materials circulated. Please retain your copy of this handbook for future reference. Fees The library fee of $6 a credit hour will go to pay for the upkeep and repairs of books and audio visual aids. This is also to go towards the purchase of new books. As students you have an invested interest in the library, use it. Hours of Operation Library will be closed during Chapel and all meals. Circulation Policies 1. Circulating Items All regular materials circulate. These are found in the library stacks area. Non-Circulating materials are reference works, and materials placed on hold by a professor. 2. Check-out procedures To check out any items, you must present your student ID card that has your student ID number on it. The library staff on duty will have you sign your name to the card while the book is checked out of the library computer. Under no circumstance may you check out a book with out a library staff member being present. 3. Circulation periods Five books may be checked out for two weeks and may be renewed in not in demand. For credit students only, auditors are not able to check out books. Audiotapes, videotapes, DVDs and vertical files, and periodicals may be checked out for 3 days. No books will be due during a break in the school schedule. Books normally due within the time school is not in session will instead be due the week following a school break. This does not include breaks between semesters. Students should check the date due slip in their books to determine the day they should be returned. All books are due in before the end of the semester. Failure to turn in books will result in the maximum fine, and transcripts and grades will not available, until fines are paid and books returned. Faculty members enjoy the privilege of extended circulation of library materials. This privilege is not extended to any other members of the college family (students, staff members, alumni) without prior approval of the librarian. At the close of each semester faculty members will be asked to return books, if the material is needed for preparation for the next semester approval must be granted before materials can be checked out. 4. Check in procedure Materials are to be returned to the library, and the material given to a library staff member. Do not place in mailbox unless special permission is given. Until the library staff has it, you are still responsible for the material, even if left in mailboxes. Once the material is turned in, it is removed from the library software as checked out and returned to circulation with the name of last user black marked out in accordance to the privacy laws. 5. Late and Lost materials Materials returned after the due date will incur fines of $.20 each day, with a maximum fine of $4 per item, after this amount the book is assumed lost. Lost materials are the responsibility of the user. In lieu of fines on such materials, the student will be charge the cost of the material plus $10 (cost of processing each time). If a lost book is not longer in print, an approximate cost of replacement plus the $10 will be charged. Students are also financially liable for unnecessary damage to property or equipment in the library. Books or other materials damaged by students will have fees levied. Any student with an outstanding balance of library fines or items overdue material will not be allowed to check out books from the library until the matter is cleared. These students can use the library but under no circumstances will they check out library materials until the matter has been resolved. Remember, the library is your investment to productive college education, use it wisely. Location of Materials Books are arranged according to their Dewey decimal classification number. The online card catalog computer is located at the circulation desk. The card catalogs a listing of all materials in the library. The library server computer must be on to gain access to online card catalog. The card catalog computer automatic loads the Auto Librarian software. The password is located on the monitor of the computer. This only allows access to the search section of the card catalog. The access to the library server computer is limited to library staff only. Searches can be performed by author, title, subject, or keyword search. When searching for title: Omit the words: A, An, and The, from the title. Example: An Introduction to the New Testament Survey by Tenney would be found as Introduction to the New Testament Survey. When searching for author: use Authors last name first. When searching for subject: type in the subject you are looking for, example: Church History. This will pull up all books with Church History as the subject. If you are searching for a book of the Bible, type the word Bible first, then O.T. or N.T., and then the book of the Bible before you click on search. If you only enter the book of the Bible, it will not give you a large selection. When searching using keyword search: You can start out broad; look through all authors, titles, and subjects for a specific word. Alternatively, narrow the search to just subject or title. Currently there are over 17,000 words in the key word search database. The Dewey decimal classification begins with the smallest numbers first 001 and ends with the largest 900.
