As the Spring semester continues, you may have noticed continual changes in the Library's hours. This is due to our budget challenges, but as of right now, it looks like the Library will be open:
Mondays through Thursdays 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m., Fridays 8:00 a.m. - 12 noon
for the rest of the spring semester (Spring break week-- April 9-13 the exception).
Contemporary Reading Shelves: Women's History Month
March is Women's History Month and the Library features a reading list on its contemporary Reading Shelves. You can also browse the book covers featured in the middle right of the Library Home page.

Here is a list of our new EBSCOhost databases (which replaces our old Academic Search Elite):

and more!
