Green is My Favorite Color
It is the beginning of the new academic year and things are definitely changing around the library. Our print copiers went out the door yesterday and new scanning options are now available in the library. The new scanner (situated next to new printers) is very easy to use and is a “paperless” option to printing. […]
Open to Debate
The library has been fairly quiet over the summer, but that changes this week as the Summer Speech Institute students and coaches use the library to find ideas and texts to fuel debate.

The Writing Center is Back!
