Mission Statement
The mission of the Loden-Daniel Library (LDL) is to support the university by advocating the retrieval and evaluation of information through promotion of the curriculum and through the facilitation of research by students, faculty, and other patrons.
Library Locations and Collections
Loden-Daniel Library
Loden-Daniel Library is located on the west side of campus between Bradfield and Hall-Roland Hall. The Library's main entrance opens towards the Commons, but a wheelchair-accessible entrance is also available on the Library's Hall-Roland side. Loden-Daniel Library is where you'll find the main book collection, juvenile collection, and current and bound periodicals. You'll also find a computer lab, reading and study areas, and even a coffee bar in the Loden-Daniel Library.

AV Annex
Located on the first floor of the Draughon Education Center, adjacent to the Loden-Daniel Library, the Annex houses the library's collection of audiovisual materials. The Library AV Annex provides several study rooms that accommodate video and DVD viewing, as well as listening stations for records, tapes and CDs. All audiovisual services, such as laminating and transparencies and TV/VCR requests for classrooms, are handled in the Library Annex. It is also the home of the FLIX Collection, a collection of recent and classic DVDs available to the student body.

Archives & Special Collections
The Library's Archives & Special Collections are found on the first floor of the Old Main Adminstration Building in the Roland Historical Room. Old Main is located to the north of the Draughon Education Center and west of Wallace-Gano. The Archives cover over 140 years of University history and feature nearly 30,000 objects and 500 linear feet of documents. Because of the special - and very fragile - nature of many of these materials, they can only be used on-site. Space is also available for group instruction.
Using the Library
All guests are welcome in the library, whether you are a student or employee of Freed-Hardeman or not. However, what you can check out and how long you can keep it varies for different library patron groups. Those specifics are covered on the library's Policies webpage, as well as how to get a library card if you aren't currently affiliated with the University.

We have three copiers for public use: one color copier and one black and white copier in the Loden-Daniel Library, and one black and white copier in the AV Annex. The cost is 50 cents a page for color copies and 10 cents for standard copies. For students, the cost of the copies is automatically deducted from a $50 print balance that each student recieves every semester. Faculty and staff can charge copies to his or her department, provided the material is related to the program. Visitors can pay with cash or check. Please note that you are responsible for all copies made, even those made in error.

The Loden-Daniel Library also has a color printer and a black and white printer. The cost of printouts is the same as for copies: 50 cents for color and 10 cents for standard prints. The method of payment (or balance deduction) is the same for printouts as for copies.

The Loden-Daniel Library has a fax machine that is available to the public. The cost to receive a fax is 25 cents a page, and the cost to send a fax is $1.50 for the first page and 50 cents for each additional page. But a more affordable option might be to use the library's digital sender. The digital sender scans pages or books - just like a copy machine - and then sends a pdf version of the scans to an email address. There is no charge to use the digital sender.
