Happy Holidays from the Libraries

At the Libraries, we are busier than ever this final week of exams, but we are delighted to present a raft of new academic resources, ongoing exhibits and stressbuster events for students still hard at work on finals and papers, as well as some new career resources.

We are grateful for your ongoing interest and support of the Libraries. We are delighted to announce that we more than doubled our goals for #GivingDay and will be able to put those funds to good use on additional services and resources for our students and faculty. So, thank you, thank you, thank you.

We wish you all the best this holiday season and hope you have much to look forward to in 2017.
