Welcome to the Public Services Department of the University Libraries. The Public Services Department is one of two academic departments in the University Library college; the other is Technical Services. Public Services Department Mission Faculty members provide reference services and library instruction, as well as coordinate Government Publications and Access Services (Circulation, Reserves, Interlibrary Loan, and the Media Resources Center). Along with the faculty in the Technical Services Department, Public Services faculty select materials for the Libraries' collections, including online databases and other online resources. Faculty members of both departments also serve as liaisons to other departments, schools, and colleges at URI. Faculty members in Public Services are responsible for all library functions that involve direct contact with library users at the main library in Kingston and at the two branch locations: the College of Continuing Education Library in Providence, and the Pell Marine Science Library, at the Narragansett Bay Campus.
