Welcome back, students!
4.01.2010

Welcome back to a new semester!  We hope you had a restful, relaxing, and most of all joyous holiday break, and that you're ready to tackle the new semester in style.  Be sure to stop by and say hello, or ask us for help when your research assignments start rolling in.  In the mean time, enjoy the snow!

Footnotes? FOOTNOTES!
9.12.2009

Is your professor requiring you to use the Chicago Manual of Style (humanities style) to format your papers this semester?  Wondering how to get Microsoft Word to do footnotes?  Never fear, the library can help!  Here's a quick video that shows you how, in less than 60 seconds.  Still confused?  Ask a librarian!

Group Study Rooms!
22.11.2009

We hate to remind you, but finals are coming up soon.  Do you need to get together with some friends for a study group?  Or maybe you need a space where you can practice that big group presentation for class.  Either way, the library can help! 

We have five group study rooms -- three on the 1st mezzanine floor, and two on the 2nd floor -- with tables, chairs, and chalkboards for groups to use.  One of the rooms even has a TV/VCR/DVD player for group viewing of videos. 

The rooms are kept unlocked, and they've available on a first come, first served basis.  Please ask at the main desk if you have any questions.  And good luck with your finals!
