hello DeAnne, As well as the excellent webpages that Jeremy pointed you too you can look at the official pages about the Archives on the Sheffield City Council site: http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/in-your-area/libraries/find/archives/sheffield-archives This includes a downloadable form to apply for a readers' ticket - if you fill it in and take it with you it will save you a few minutes on your first visit. You need to note that, of the three days you will be in Sheffield, the Archives will be open only on the Saturday. I think it's essential that you book a fiche reader (you can ring or email them) as the baptism/ marriage records you want to look at are on fiche.
