100th Year of FDLP at RPL
100 Years as a Federal Depository Library!
On Thursday, February 27th, the Ross Pendergraft Library & Technology Center is celebrating its 100th Anniversary of ATU joining the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP).
The Ross Pendergraft Library & Technology Center has been one of those for 100 years.
The primary mission of our federal documents collection is to support the University’s curricula and the needs of the surrounding community. Today, most of the library’s recent federal documents are available electronically through Find It!, but an extensive collection of documents is also available to check out in Compact Shelving on the second floor of the library.
Check out our Government Documents webpage for more information about the library’s collection and the FDLP program.

Trouble Accessing Library Resources from Home?
You cannot access library databases if you are already connected to your U-Drive through the GlobalProtect VPN. The database providers will ask for a user name and a password within the database (not your Tech user name and password). To access those resources, you must disconnect from GlobalProtect.
EBSCO has upgraded their online interface. To avoid issues, clean your cache: your browser may still have some remaining data from the old interface.
Use Chrome Incognito or Firefox Private Browsing to not keep any history or sensitive information.
"Report a broken link" found in Find it... so we can better assist you and find what you need.
