Southern California is especially rich in resources for library research. Major college and university, graduate school, and theological school libraries are accessible to Rosemead students. For example, the regional union catalog of materials in religion and theology is located at School of Theology at Claremont. Books not obtainable elsewhere can be borrowed on inter-library loan from almost any library in the United States, located through the OCLC computer terminal. The staff consists of four professional librarians, nine full-time assistants and a number of part-time student assistants. Facilities are open every day except Sunday, to a total of 75 hours per week. BOOKSTORE The Bookstore is open six days and two evenings a week to supply all required textbooks as well as any non-required books. Students will also find a large selection of cards, stationery, gift items, records and music, school and art supplies, plus items for personal needs. CAMPUS HOUSING AND DINING FACILITIES A limited number of living quarters are available on campus for single men and women graduate students. Until facilities are filled they are assigned according to the date of request. More detailed information and housing request forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Records. This office can also provide some suggestions concerning off-campus rooms and apart ments. Continuing Rosemead students are also willing to provide suggestions in locating suitable housing off-campus. Many students find it convenient to take their meals in the campus cafeteria. For those who wish to do so regularly, some savings in costs may be realized by using meal tickets instead of cash payment for each meal. MARRIED STUDENT HOUSING Rosemead has no facilities on campus for married students, but there are numerous rental apartments and homes available in the immediate vicinity. Every attempt is made to assist new students in finding suitable housing in La Mirada or surrounding communities. EMPLOYMENT Biola College, Inc. maintains an Employment Office whose services are available to Rosemead students needing part-time employment. While this office does not guarantee employment, it maintains close contact with numer ous individuals and organizations needing student employees. The Employ ment Office is located in Metzger Hall. 27
