From the Living Library to the Library Living Room

Notice something different when you walk into the library? Look to the right as you step inside the doors and you'll see that we have moved the reference desk. In our continued effort to improve library services, we have rearranged the position of our reference desk to make the service more approachable and accessible to faculty and students. You'll notice we've flanked the desk with two of the library's comfiest chairs. So comfortable in fact, it's like being at home in your own living room! You must come by for a sit-down, we'll answer your questions and solve problems in cozy comfort.

Time to Book Class Visits

While we're on the topic of the library, don't forget that we are here to support your courses with our vast resources, information, and class visits. Library staff are happy to conduct class visits to provide instruction regarding the access of library resources, research, and citation. To book your visits, or inquire, please contact your library liaison or call ext. 5107.

For more information on how we can support you, check out the library's "for faculty" webpage.
