Research Center replaces "Reference Desk"

The library reference desk is evolving into a Research Center – a name and collaborative space that better reflects and accommodates the changing nature of the research services we offer. 

Located on the 1st floor of the library, in close proximity to librarian offices, the Research Center is primarily staffed by student Peer Research Consultants (PRCs) who work closely with librarians to provide high quality service and refer students as necessary.

We are adding tables and spaces more conducive to collaborative work, though some plans are currently on hold due to the budget situation. Eventually we plan to open up the Research & Instruction office space on the first floor, making access to librarians easier and sharing the beautiful view overlooking the campus mall with library patrons.

Please tell your students about Research Center. Your referrals are the most effective way to get students to use the library.

Research Center hours (during the semester): Sunday 5-9pm, Mon-Thurs 9am – 9pm, Fri 9am-4:30pm.
