Regis University is a private institution. The Regis University Library's top priority is meeting the educational and research needs of Regis students, staff, and faculty. As part of the Federal Depository Library Program, our government publications collection must be open to the public, however our university's Jesuit mission also calls us to serve the community. For that reason, community guests are invited to use our resources and services within the limitations noted on this guide and in related policy statements.
For more information on community services at the Dayton Memorial Library, please contact the Research Help Desk at library@regis.edu, or by calling 303-458-4031 (1-800-388-2366 x4031).
The general public is welcome to use the Dayton Memorial Library for research and study. Colorado residents age 16 and older may also get a free library card and have up to six items checked out at a time. Non-residents are eligible for temporary accounts. Our Community Borrowers Policy has full details of this service.
For more information on circulation policies, including fees for overdue or lost materials, see Checking Out Materials.
Community members can reserve study rooms, but they must have a library card with Dayton Memorial Library first before they can reserve a room. To check availability beforehand, please email circdesk@regis.edu or call the circulation desk at 303.458.4030
Wifi network with guest access is available throughout Dayton Memorial Library during building hours.
Printing for guest users is not currently available.
Research classes are available for college preparatory high school classes (e.g., Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate) so that students may experience the resources of a college library and get a taste of what research will be like at the next level. The instructional classroom has six computer terminals, so we recommend groups no larger than 20 at a time and that most students bring their own device. Due to heavy internal instructional loads at the beginning of each semester, most sessions should be scheduled two to three months after the beginning of each term. Contact Paul Betty, Research and Instruction Services Librarian, by e-mail or by calling 303-964-5772 for more information and to schedule classes.
