Reserves are materials that faculty have submitted to the library to be placed in a special collection (the reserve collection).  They have shorter loan periods than other materials. They are often "reguired readings" for a course and, as such, are in high demand. The sections of this guide, "Finding Books" and "Finding Articles," explain how to get reserves.   

Let the student tutors help you with your writing or chemistry in the Academic Center located on the second floor of the Library.  Tutoring hours are posted in the Library and the Academic Center.

What is Third Place?  The concept was created by Ray Oldenburg in "The Great Good Place."  He contends that the first place is home, the second place is the workplace (or school), but the third place is one that is chosen.  It is a place that becomes an anchor of community life and facilitates and promotes broader, more creative interaction.  Make the Library your Third Place!
