Reference Department

Collections | Contact | Hours | Location | Policies | Services | Staff

Our mission is to help you use the Library's resources to find the information you need. The Reference Desk is your first stop for assistance in learning what resources (books, journals, media.) are available and how to use them. The reference staff can answer general and specific questions, locate materials, and refer you to print, online and electronic resources. We are also available to help you search and use the Internet and its assortment of resources.
