Tips to make Google work for you!
We know that Google is a resource that researchers frequently turn to during the gathering of their resources. Richard Byrne of the Free Technology for Teachers blog has created an infographic to aid users in using Google more effectively. Check it out!
As always, contact us if you have any questions about beginning your research…we love helping our students and faculty!

Portable seating in the library
You may have noticed the library has a few bean-bag style chairs scattered around the building. These single-person chairs
are an attempt to provide flexible and portable seating for studying, collaborating, and being able to move together in groups or move the chair with you to any location in the library you desire. (If you didn’t catch the italics, the emphasis is on one person-per chair and keeping them in the library).
Usually you will find these chairs near the windows behind the reference desk. Feel free to move them to any location in the library that works for you. No need to bring them back to where you found them. If you like studying in this type of seating in the library, let us know.
