Throughout the week, the counselors, all of whom are senior students, will be accompanying you to meetings with both IDC faculty and staff. During these meetings, you'll be introduced to our unique outlook and methodology. The counselors will also hold meetings in small groups in order to get to know you as best they can as they prepare to guide you throughout the entire school year. They will also provide each student with important tools that will help you make you feel at home on campus. Orientation Week, which will be held from October 26 th to October 30 th, is also an integral part of your study program and attendance is mandatory.

However, it is important to emphasize that the library rules, listed below, still apply in this hall.
Getting Acquainted with the Library IDC Herzliya's library is a new and enlarged building established for the purpose of operating as an "Information Center" for the entire campus. The acquisition of books and printed journals no longer sufficient for modern research and study requirements. In order to cope with these requirements we have combined a traditional library comprising books and journals with computerized databases. We place special emphasis on electronic resources – their acquisition and training students to utilize them. The library will provide you with diverse services to assist you during your studies at IDC: Comfort and quiet, for studying, for preparing for lessons and for exams; Borrowing books for academic purposes; Photocopying services: a large and well-ventilated photocopy room, with many modern copying machines and printers. Approximately 100 computers connected to the internet as well as the library's extensive catalog and electronic databases.
Computerized Databases The library's computer network includes many databases in the field of law, business, social sciences, etc. The database you will be using most frequently will probably be the computerized library catalog (Aleph) which locates books throughout the library. The computerized catalog can also be accessed via the Internet (from any off-campus computer). In addition to the 100 computers in the library, there another 60 units located in the computer labs throughout the campus. Access to all databases are free for all IDC students and faculty. Library website: www. idc. ac. illibrary In addition to different databases you can browse the Internet where you will find abundant academic databases in all fields and access to catalogs of various libraries in Israel and abroad. Beyond the amount of knowledge and services, each library is judged according to its atmosphere and the conditions provided to its users. Therefore, the librarians strictly uphold the rules of conduct detailed in the Library Regulations found in the "Yedion". The purpose of these rules is to maintain an atmosphere that will enable everyone to study under the best possible conditions.
Some Key Library Rules Maintain quiet (use of cellular phones is forbidden); Group work allowed only in the Discussion Hall but in no other part of library; Smoking, eating and drinking are all prohibited. Do not bring bags and satchels into the library area. Leave them in the cloakroom at entrance to library; Keep the library clean; Maintain equipment in the library, do not damage or mark the books; Do not remove any material from the library without approval and going through the proper borrowing procedure. Method of Borrowing The borrowing procedure is simple and is done with a student card, which is personal and cannot be transferred to other individuals. Every student is entitled to borrow a maximum of three books and two CD-ROMs at one time. Strictly adhere to returning the books by 17: 00 on the noted date of return. Every late return incurs a fine. The period of borrowing can be extended through the Internet. Library Hours: Sun thru Thurs – 08: 30 -21: 00 Fri – 08: 00 -13: 00 Holiday Eves – 08: 00 -12: 00
