Access to Electronic Information Resources

Students of the Domínico Americano School obtain their EBSCO username through their teachers or from the service staff at the Lincoln Library (BL).

Students of the Universidad Domínico Americano, as well as professors and staff of ICDA, obtain their EBSCO and e-book access credentials through their academic program coordinators or from the BL service staff.

eLibraryUSA can only be accessed from the workstations within the Lincoln Library.

Document Lending

The document lending service, which allows students of the Domínico Americano School (DAS), the Universidad Domínico Americano, professors, and ICDA staff — as well as certain types of documents for special users — to borrow materials for home use, requires compliance with the rules and policies that govern this service.

The loan period for documents is typically seven (7) days. If you need an extension or would like to renew a loan, please consult the service staff.

Late returns are subject to overdue fines as outlined in the Lincoln Library Manual of Policies, Procedures, and Regulations.

Users will not be able to borrow new materials until the overdue document(s) are returned and any outstanding fines have been paid. Fines must be paid at the ICDA cashier’s office, and a copy of the payment receipt must be submitted to the Circulation Desk of the Lincoln Library.

Borrowed documents may be returned directly to the library.

Use of Group Study Rooms

Reservations for study rooms can be made in person, by phone, or by writing to circulacionbl@icda.edu.do. Reservations can be made up to one week in advance, and no more than three reservations are allowed per week.

The average time allowed for use is two (2) hours. However, students in their final year or those working on special projects may be granted additional time.
