OFF-CAMPUS Corner

ON-CAMPUS Corner A major concern for students that

responded to our Library Quality Survey was

that there are not enough available

designated quiet study spaces.

In response, we have added more quiet

study carrels in the West wing of the library,

which previously held the Government

Documents collection (now relocated to the

periodicals shelves).

Update: LOOK INSIDE Reading E-Books through the LRC’s collection is easier than ever before. Just

click Look Inside when you find an E-Book in the LRC Catalogue.
