The Reference Desk

The Reference Desk is staffed by library assistants and librarians who can help you with all types of questions including directional, finding articles and books, policies. Librarians at this desk can assist in the selection of resources both in print and electronic formats and can help you use these tools effectively and efficiently. In addition, appointments can be made with the librarians for in-depth consultation and assistance away from the desk. A list of librarians by subject specialization is provided here.
