Welcome Back!
We hope you all enjoyed the Thanksgiving break. As we head into the final stretch of the semester, we’d like to remind you of just a few ways that the library can support your work.
Research Appointments! Are you working on a research project this semester? Why not talk to a librarian about research strategies? Librarians are available to discuss your work at any stage of the research process, from developing your research question to organizing your findings. Sign up for a half-hour appointment here.
Research Help on the Web. The library website has a collection of help menus, subject guides and tutorials to help you get started.
As always, librarians are available to work with you at the reference desk during library hours.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Ever wondered why you feel so tired on Thanksgiving?
If that’s not enough, you can learn about the history of food and holiday traditions by visiting our e-book collections!
Have a great weekend. We’ll see you when the library reopens on Monday, Nov 26th.

Mastering library tools and resources can take time. If you are stuck, or if you’re not sure where to get started, take a minute to look through our growing list of tutorials! We are working to develop and expand our collection of online tools, so let us know what kind of online research support YOU would like to see on the library website!
