Student Services Department
Are you an undergraduate or professional student seeking assistance with a research project or assignment? Are you an instructor hoping to schedule an orientation or integrate library instruction into your curriculum?
The Student Services Department is responsible for providing instruction, research assistance, and outreach to undergraduate and professional students with the goal of promoting academic success and life-long learning. We provide a variety of services and resources to help students navigate, discover, and evaluate information.
